Social identity differs from self-identity in that social identity is how an individual identifies themselves within a specific social group or category, while self-identity is how an individual sees themselves as a unique person. Social identity is often influenced by external factors such as culture, ethnicity, gender, religion, and socioeconomic status, while self-identity is more about an individual's personal beliefs, values, and personality traits.

As an example, my name is Sarah and I possess various social identities. One of my social identities is being a woman, which is influenced by my gender. Another social identity I have is being a college student, which is influenced by my current educational status. Additionally, I identify as a member of the LGBTQ+ community, which is influenced by my sexual orientation. These social identities shape how I interact with others and how I am perceived within society.

Other examples of social identities that individuals can possess include being a member of a specific racial or ethnic group, being a parent, being a professional in a certain field, or being a member of a particular religious or political group. These social identities can influence an individual's experiences, opportunities, and relationships within society. It's important to recognize and understand the various social identities that individuals possess in order to promote inclusivity and understanding within diverse communities.
