identity and performance

Identity refers to how individuals see themselves and their sense of who they are, including personal traits, values, and social roles. Performance, on the other hand, is how people express or demonstrate their identity through actions, behaviors, and communication in various contexts. In essence, identity is the internal sense of self, while performance is the outward expression of that self to others. These two are interconnected, as actions often reflect one’s identity, and performances can also shape and reinforce how individuals perceive themselves.
