Identity is relative. Far from an expression of oneself, it is largely a performance for others, a pantomime in the limelight of another’s gaze. We have no self-concept except the one reflected in the imagined eyes of others. We can’t be someone without someone to be someone for.

I think if the self-image is a truthful reflection of oneself then it is not false, but how many people have a truthful self image?

I think the only way to judge if ones self image is true is if that image reflect one's effect on others and in the world, and if ones actions are in alignment with that image. To know any of that requires brutal self reflection and outside confirmation.
