Answer to this Question

I can't remember how I started thinking about this on Sunday but I did.
I am sure we have all been asked this question once or twice before..."Who are you"?
I know I have been asked the question more than once and any answer I gave seemed to not be what the person was looking for.
To answer that I am a doctor would be incorrect *(worry not...I am not now or ever will be a doctor*)
Being a doctor is something you do...not who you are. But what if what we do IS who we are because what we do is our whole life...like a doctor. Some doctors are doctors all the time 24-7...there are those that are able to turn it off and just be themselves but many cannot. So then why when they answer I am doctor is that incorrect. I am Jane Doe a doctor now you know my name and what I do. If it is something else that is wanted when this question is asked then why not ask the question in such a way you get the answer you are looking for. I am Jane Doe, a doctor, a female aged 38, I am wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister, a friend, neice, grand-daughter. Is that the informationt that is required?
I know the question is suppose to invoke thought and inner reflection but for me it just frustrates me.
So next time someone asks me the question I will simply give them my name...if they require more information then they will have to ask the right questions that will give them the information they want.
