Identity Diffusion

Identity diffusion is a state where a person has not yet developed a clear sense of who they are or what they believe in. They might feel unsure about their goals, values, or roles in life, often experiencing confusion or lack of direction. This situation can occur during adolescence or times of change when individuals haven't committed to a specific identity or path. While it can be a normal part of exploring possibilities, prolonged diffusion may lead to feelings of emptiness or difficulty making decisions about the future.
