Within nature everything changes. Some things grow and something decay. Even matter has a rate of reduction caused by subatomic particles abandoning their nucleolus.
Considering the fact that your body grows and changes but your identity remain constant, why do you think that your “I” will change when your body dies?

But your %26quot;I%26quot; is not constant through your life. Your %26quot;I%26quot; is best defined by your opinions and feelings about things, and that is constantly evolving. And when you die, you will no have opinions and feelings anymore because your brain will cease to function; thus your %26quot;I%26quot; will no longer exist.How long will your “I” exist?
It either ends when your physical body dies
OR
It is immortal

Makes sense to me.How long will your “I” exist?
In a way, forever, as that individual does not ever fully die, as he/she is alive in your heart and memories. So everyone in a way, does live forever. They live in the memories of those they loved %26amp; loved them. Also, they are survived genetically by those related to them.
In a different way, I think it happens when the last noticeable trace of your body matter has fully be decomposed and reabsorbed into the earth.How long will your “I” exist?
our soul is our identity and who we areHow long will your “I” exist?
Only for an instant. At each instant it will change slightly, but it takes so long for the change to be significant we usually don't notice. Confusion of similarity with sameness is the issue.How long will your “I” exist?
But your %26quot;I%26quot; does change just as a river changes from it's source to its mouth and at some point you just declare the river dead. If I stay constant, I cannot learn or change.How long will your “I” exist?

But identity is not constant through bodily changes. My identity has changed greatly since my body stopped being that of a child.How long will your “I” exist?
For me, my %26quot;I%26quot; will stop at the moment my brain dies. My %26quot;I%26quot; might last a bit longer in the minds of people who remember me.excel advice on high school

I'll use the Latin word 'ego' to describe what you are pointing to.
Having been thrown out of my body (twice, at different times) I am aware - or should I say I believe - that your ego is not made of matter, and therefore is not subject to the material processes of time and space. This puts us into a different category of Life altogether.
Re-incarnationists believe that outside of the space/time continuum, we exists as beings who are part of higher beings, who are part . . . .until we get to the stage where we step up to the bottom rung of the next ladder. This is the process of learning, where we enter a body, and learn things, gaining experience which takes us to the next lifetime with a bit more wisdom.
In the end (if there is such a thing) we are all part of the one Force,I call Life. Some call it God, but whatever, we are all part of It, and It is part of Us.

You can't exist without love,
and there is no %26quot;I%26quot; in the word love. %26lt;}:-})-{?How long will your “I” exist?
till I die. then I become something else.How long will your “I” exist?
Once you die your body will begin to decay, but your soul will always be in existence. Once you die your soul will either go to Heaven or Hell. If you trusted Jesus Christ as your Savior and asked Him to forgive you of your sins and come nto your life He will and you will go to Heaven once you die. If you choose not to except Christ yow will haveto go to Hell. You see God cannot allow sin into Heaven so He provided a sacrifice a way of washng our sins away by accepting Jesus. Jesus washes all sins away. You will exist as long as God wants you on this earth. :-)How long will your “I” exist?
It depends on what you believe in. Personally, I believe that our consciousness/spirit will go on once our bodies die, but we will lose our identity after a while. I think we will still have some of the same things, maybe our names and voices, but our features may become less distinct. Ultimately, we'll be one with something great...I just don't know what that is.How long will your “I” exist?
Well my identity does change, but the sense of %26quot;I%26quot; does remain constant, and I think that's what you mean.. However one thing that allows for knowing that the %26quot;I%26quot; is constant is memory. If my memory goes, even if %26quot;I%26quot; may continue to exist, I will no longer be aware of my existence outside of the moment.
This doesn't preclude life after death, or even continued consciousness necessarily. But conversely the continued awareness of self during life doesn't necessarily mean there will be continued awareness after life.How long will your “I” exist?
Seeing as how %26quot;I%26quot; am just the collection of thoughts and experiences packaged in this particular brain, when that fails, %26quot;I%26quot; will cease to be.How long will your “I” exist?
only I know! (no pun intended)How long will your “I” exist?
I believe that self-identity is merely a cultural convention born naturally of our sentience. I do not identify %26quot;myself%26quot; (for lack of a better word) to myself. Since you mentioned the sub-atomic level I will also mention the microscopic. Is it fair to say that we are a colony of cells each living and although inter-dependent, each a living organism?
If that is so, then self-awareness is the sole anchor to self-identity.
If you say that my %26quot;I%26quot; remains constant despite the state of entropy that rules over matter. Then the veritable question is %26quot;How long will the state of entropy last%26quot;? How long will time exist?
If my identity remains regardless of time passing, what happens in the eventuality of a total absence of time?
Since we know there is no Cosmological Constant, there is no reason to not believe in the Big Rip theory, which predicts the end of time itself.
Then surely my %26quot;I%26quot; will cease to exist as matter and time will be gone.
As with all philosophical questions though, I will be complacent into finding no definitive answer.
Will my own death break the bond of my identity (if I am to assume I have one attributed by means other than self-awareness or societal consensus)?
After my death, won't my relatives still refer to %26quot;Me%26quot;? Will I cease to be a colony of cells that can be mathematically referred to as 1 unit of live/dead human?
No, but my identity will have mutated. As all things, physical or conceptual.

Identity is an individual's comprehension of him or herself. Identity relates to self-image or how the view themselves. A mental image so to speak. It is commonly used term to identify things that make a person unique.
Your identity can change to a degree as one ages. But there does come a point where your identity become stable and does not really change and is extremely difficult to change.What is identity ?!?! how can it change ?!!?

My long-lost friend just came back, so what now?
When I was still 12 or so, I had a best friend, one of the best in the world. We were both goofy, funny, cheerful and energetic. We were both very, very happy with each other. Soon she had to move to another country because of her family, and we weren't able to contact each other for a very long time since she had to change her identity (her family was protecting themselves from a threat from a mystery person).
Last week she's come back, and you can imagine how much we hugged and shouted and laughed when I picked her up at the airport. I've found out that she lives quite near me, and I plan to bring her to a full day of doing things together. Any suggestions on how to make it special, since we've never seen each other for so long?My long-lost friend just came back, so what now?
Watch a movie together? Go out for lunch somewhere nice and just enjoy stuff you know you both like. It doesn't have to be extravagant , just something special in your own way. I had a friend who came back after 4 years and we just did simple stuff together, but it was still fun.My long-lost friend just came back, so what now?
go out and have lunch or a coffe together %26amp; catch up on lost times,afterwards perhaps do a bit of girly shopping together.My long-lost friend just came back, so what now?
it really depends on how long she's been gone
