you are yourself and no one else. usually used if someone wants you to change yourself or your appearence/habits/hobbies you would reply “i am who i am.” showing that you like yourself the way you are, and are usually not willing to change.

EX.

mom: why aren’t you like your older brother who always keeps his room clean.

kid: i am who i am, and i like my room messy.

i dont know if hard to explain…

wow – that is a tricky question. It is a very basic phrase, and I don’t think it can be paraphrased without using the same words. But, I will try.

“the person I am, is the person I am”

the phrase is used to mean that ones personality is set. I behave this way because I am me.

“why do you behave that way?”

“because, I am who I am.”

It is an affirmation of self.

It is also one translation of the name of G-d. Moses asks who he is speaking to at the burning bush, and He answers “I am who I am” or “I am that I am”

Sometimes it’s a bogus justification for inflexibility — a way of saying “I think and I do as is determined by my person and I see no reason to be influenced by you.”

But only sometimes.

He said it in present tense so it would be quoted that way forever, c u in heaven
