Please read the explanation
The word 'am' (or indeed, 'is', 'are' etc, i.e. the verb 'to be') are not used in Hebrew in this context.
ani = I, but also 'I am'.
e.g.
tall = gavoha
I am tall = ani gavoha.
i am myself of i am who i am =
ani atzmi shel ani mi she-ani.

This last phrase in Hebrew characters:
אני עצמי של אני מי שאני
ani = I, but also 'I am'.
e.g.
tall = gavoha
I am tall = ani gavoha.
i am myself of i am who i am =
ani atzmi shel ani mi she-ani.

i am=ani
in hebrew you d'ont say;ani shel atzmi(אני של עצמי). the correct way to say it in hebrew is:אני לכשעצמי אני מי שאני.
ani lechsheatmi, ani me she` ani.
ani lechsheatmi, ani me she` ani.

Sue Goldian
: Nobody said you say ani shel atzmi. And ani lechesheatzmi is more like I myself than I am myself...

Ani Kefi shehineni
First:May be there is a mistake in your example in English, and you meant: I am myself or I am who I am.
Second: The hebrew verb "to be" is "invisible" only in Present conjugation, but not in Past or Future:
Present: He is tall= hu gavoa
Past: He was tall= hu haiha gavoa
Future: He will be tall= hu ihihe gavoa
I think Anda's answer to Kinory is partially right. For our purpose, her comment is correct. But you can say in Hebrew "Ani shel atsmi" meaning "I belong to me or to myself".
My proposal is for a title.
Ani=hineni, but hineni is more refined,
so I think it may be better as a title. Else, you can use "Ani kefi sheani".
And now I think also about "Ani neeman leatsmi", but the context should be checked.
I hope I have been clear enough.
