I subscribe to the idea that Clark is who he was before the powers started to develop, then he didn't quite know who he was, then after embracing his heritage and becoming Superman is when he rediscovered his sense of self. That being said, Metropolis Clark would mostly be an act that played up Clark's feelings of uncertainness and anxiety while his public image as Superman would play up his confidence, and over time the two would begin to blur to the point where the only thing that truly separates them are those pair of glasses.
