I think Aragorn has permanent identity crisis because it took him so much to reveal his true identity to the "world." But then again, it also had to be at the right time, since it would have been to no avail if he revealed himself to Sauron before the One Ring had been found and secured (for the most part), and a plan for its destruction thought out. In fact, the only reason that he revealed himself (in my opinion) was to distract Sauron, so we know that it was definitely not on his top list of priorities.
