My identity can be affected by my
own actions and is obviously quite different from my identity

'He is not the person that he used to be,' they mean something different:
they mean that he has changed in some important way and is no longer the same kind of person. In this sense of the word, my identity can be affected by my own actions and is obviously quite different from my identity as a particular person
