Are we, who we think, that our friends think, that we think, that we are?

I heard a radio Pastor say this recently…
“You are who you think that your friends think that you think that you are”.

OK…
I think, that my friends think, that I think, that I am a good father.

But just because I think they think that I think something, does that make me that something by default?

Is this a proper way to determine who I am?

Is there an objective way to determine who we actually are?
