Oh, you're referring to it in terms of identity. I understand it when using that term.
Here's a good article:

I have had boundary problems some of the time, but not consistently. I'm not yet sure what made those cases different. I don't usually feel personally affected by strangers, but say when I get accused of doing something I didn't do by a boss/coworker, I tend to get upset about it. I always thought it was because when I was little, a crayon was left in one of the pockets of me or sister or brother, and went thru the dryer and ruined a bunch of clothes. My mom must have been really upset about it and I remember we all had to stand down there around the dryer while my father yelled at us until we admitted which one of us "put" the crayon in the dryer to ruin the clothes. I was scared to death. He beat us all after that because no one admitted putting the crayon in there, my brother was beat so hard I was terrified seeing it. I'm thinking the crayon was accidentally left in one of our pockets. I had thought maybe those issues stem from being accused (and there were other times) had something to with that, but I guess not. I don't remember all the emotions, but remember being scared. And my father's pupils always got real small when he was angry.
But you got me thinking again, thanks.
