This is such a complex topic for me that I can't really answer it plainly. I think because people have typically seen me as something they owned, controlled and showed off, I reject most labels now. One reason why I treasure my husband, kids and friends is that they don't tend to try to do any of that.
As an aside, I went to a get together recently with a bunch of people that hang out on a "mom's" board. I only previously knew one person from there. I basically went to that board to promote my business and a few other things I'm doing in the community.
It was an effort at grassroots electronic PR if you will. I'm always trying to raise my community profile business and services wise. If your name and face is the first one they think of, they will probably hire you, come to your event or whatever.
When the night out came up, I thought, why not? Most of my friends are so busy it's difficult to get with them. I can go and it will be relatively painless. I can leave pretty quickly if we don't click.
Oh, my! They all introduced themselves like this, "Hi! I'm Darla. I'm Teal's Mom."
I was like, okaaaaaay. LMAO! I refused to follow that form because I thought it was ridiculous to do so. It's not that I don't think of myself as a mom but I would never introduce myself that way for an adult night out. I just went with, "Hi, I'm ________ name, nice to meet you!"
I've always objected at least mentally to be called anyone's anything as a primary title or role.
I'm me. That's enough. I don't have to quantify, pigeon hole, or put myself in a nice labeled box for anyone's convenience. I truly object to the whole concept of that.
I wear so many hats each day that my hand probably blurs as I change them. If you really care to get to know me, it's fairly easy. I'm just a human being. Like all human beings, I'm always changing but always the same. I'm not one thing or title. I'm many things all wrapped up in this mortal body.

I agree, but its human, people try to grab something and hold on.

True.
I've just never found that sort of thing to lead to anything very positive for me.

Ohman..I'm the opposite. I've been hesitant to post on this thread even though it could be very good for me. Hesitant because I've never really been able to be me. I don't know who "me" is. I've always been someone's this or that. I've rarely ever been introduced, by others or myself, as just -kiana- (insert real name there) And that's how it feels like it should be, but that's also so very, very wrong

Eh! That was a JOKE. An attempt at humor.
People are SO sensitive around here.

This is very difficult for me...I can't do one word lists and this is far from complete, but for now.
-Compassionate woman who always tries to see a situation through the other person's eyes
-soulmate to husband
-military officer's wife and all that entails
-mom who takes the role of teaching my children to be kind, compassionate polite individuals who are smart, knowledgable and indepentently strong-willed very seriously
-owned, surrendered, loyal and devoted submissive who loves her Daddy
-sister, daughter, friend who will always listen
-interested learner of all things especiailly those subjects i know nothing about
-sexually obsessed--to learn, to experience, to enjoy all things sexual
-struggling health care professional
order is more or less correct

It is only wrong if you independently feel it is wrong...we are not a one size fits all, so just because one way is the only way for someone, doesn't mean it is right or the perfect way for you.

I hope you get the chance someday to just be you, to be quiet and discover who you are.
It was a struggle for me. I always wanted to be what others wanted me to be but at the same time I always wanted to be alone and just be me. It took a while to figure out how to integrate all the "different me(s)" I was for everyone else into one real me that I was to my core. It took longer to accept me. It's been a life journey and it's not over yet.

Well, this looks like a good place to start. How about you tell us what you think you are, you’re safe to say it here. If anyone gets hostile about it the moderator will be around to put them in their place.
If you have trouble with it you could go over the lists that others have made and pick out the things you think you are.
Here are some you might consider:
Hesitant
Amateur photographer
