Identity diffusion

Identity diffusion is the state of not having yet committed to core values, beliefs, or direction, sometimes marked by genuine exploration but often by paralysis, lack of opportunity, or overwhelming contradictions that feel impossible to reconcile. It's different from healthy questioning because the person in diffusion hasn't yet developed the framework to even know what they're searching for.
