This is a point I've seen talked around a lot, but not quite made explicit. And it ought to be obvious, but I still find it helpful. Whenever you describe yourself, or someone else, as "X", it's much, much more relaxing and helpful to think of X as a descriptive label, not a prescriptive one. It massively reduces the extent to which you feel obliged to fit into that (or another) category.
