Identity is the personality of an individual with regards to quality belief and looks and expression.

Situational identity refers to the identity of a person with respect to a situation it can be negotiated or it may not be negotiated depending upon the situation. The identity can be individual or social. It is the presentation of a person with respect to the situation. The situational identity it depends upon one's personality an individual will present himself according to the reaction and presentation of those present around him, it appears with little conscious thought of adjusting and comfortable interacting with other people this happens unconsciously as an individual adjust himself. This is particularly due to self-awareness with respect to the society. When people interact with each other it is actually the signal that can be viewed as the performance that helps an individual to construct a social identity that means he has adjusted himself to the situation.

Suppose ethnically somebody who is of different origin is settled in some other country with different culture. The same person will present himself as a person of the original identity when he is in a social group of his original identity, and the same person can identify himself with the Identity of his place where he has settled at present.

It cannot be negotiated, as for how often a person can take help of others, he has to adjust and negotiate with the non-negotiable situation.
