How to define ourselves

A good question to ponder is how do we define ourselves. Do we measure and seize ourselves by what we love or by what we dislike, or a little bit of both.

If we define ourselves by what we love (things and such) and by the people we feel comfortable associating with, is this an indication of a decidedly optimistic outlook? Is the reverse disposition (letting our fears and dislike define who we are) more prone to pessimism and an indication of withdrawal from society?
Finally is a balanced view (likes and dislike balanced together) a more desirable approach? I've never really pondered that question and don't have a clue where I belong. Possibly in the latter (balanced) group? And you, where do you think you stand?
