The identity is not stable, underdeveloped or "markedly impoverished" according to DSM 5 criteria.
From what I understand, for whatever reason one doesn't carry the same identity from group to group, or from person to person. They learned to try and blend in with the identity of the group or person so they take the mannerisms, norms, etc. to fit in. There is no individual identity of that one person. So in trying to fit in they become the "representative" person.
I hope that makes sense Sisabel.
