... as long as that criticism doesn't put into question the ideas that I base my identity on.

The Secret is to not base your identity on questionable ideas.

That's antithetical to OP's post though. The whole point is to keep an open mind and question everything.

It's not a bad thing to question your own identity. Question it, answer it, and then embrace it. That's where personal growth comes from. Everyone has been doubtful of an identity before, because at the minimum we've all been teenagers at some point.

Surpassing your own doubts about your identity is how you solidify your identity. When you've answered your own doubts, you will be ready to face anyone's doubts about you.

Of course. I was doing a joke you see, playing with the definition of "questionable" being colloquially equivalent to "doubtful or unreliable".

Ah sorry I didn't pick up on it, but I get it now
