I have been lead to believe that this identity-related phenomena you describe are traits of agressive narcissism (very hard to use that term without sounding pejorative). It also correlates well with the OP's writing style.

I just wanted to say that I like very much the way you described the techniques to fight it. If you haven't already, check this blog out.

So I gave the blog a look and... I'm... not sure what's supposed to come of it. I thought it was one expanding on the mentioned techniques--but it's definitely not that. I assume you linked it as an example of aggressive narcissism. The author seems pretty... aggressive and narcissistic. Was that your intention?
