    Never label yourself. The less you define yourself by, the less constraints to growth. Great point by @tynan : http://tynan.com/identity

        No one mentioned Paul Graham’s “Keep your identity small” http://www.paulgraham.com/identity.html ? Its last sentence is good tl;dr.

        “Writer, programmer, avid student of life.” I guess you have to touch up your twitter bio a little. 🤔😜

        Sounds like great advice. You shouldn't do stuff just because of social pressure you enabled on yourself. At the same time...

        What if you do wish to do a certain thing, but you lack courage or imposter syndrome. Wouldn't social pressure act like a strong motivator?
