Surely your actions define who you are above anything else?
Oh and I'm fucking awesome. Really.
Your actions are how people define you, as that is all they can see, but who you are is a psychological (and depending on how you look at it: physical) thing. For example, there are straight people who have never had a girlfriend or may have expermimented wth another guy (or a female in a similar situation). Is that person gay? no. Are they gay according to their actions? Yes. They have had sex with a man but not a woman.
I know my example is horrible as the actions following (saying you are straight, not continuing anything with the other guy, etc) would indicate that you are straight, but my point is that your actions are a result of who you are, and people see your actions and effectively try to backwards engineer 'you' so that they can have an opinion about you.
OT: I love me. I'm proud of me. I have strong opinions without being an extremist or fundamentalist, I am open and honest, I try and be friendly to people and I have the intelligence and knowledge to back up my opinions.
