Why are my text messages coming through as my email address?

This might be a stupid question but some of my texts I send to people are coming through as my email address. How do I fix that

Re: Texts

Go to Settings - Messages - Send & Receive and set your "start conversations from" address

And if your phone number isn't an option then do the following:

- Toggle off Wifi

- Tap your Apple ID and sign out of it on that same screen

- Tap it again and sign back in

- Once your number shows up go ahead and turn Wifi back on
