Hi Silver, how about the answer being that you never got any practice expressing yourself or that you were "pressured" into not expressing yourself?
I used yoga to relax me and this relaxation exercise. Lie on the floor and tighten and relax your whole body a few times. Then start at your feet and tell each body part to relax and work your way up. After you are all relaxed stay there for a few minutes. I got one of those simple beginner yoga books with pictures. After you get good at this you can just tell yourself to relax when you find yourself getting tense and you can relax at will.
Your identity is still there. It's just buried. As you work on these things and throw them off you will find yourself under there
