Identity vs role confusion

The tension between developing a coherent identity and staying trapped in confused role-playing runs through all human life, but becomes critical in adolescence when the question 'who am I?' becomes impossible to avoid. Failure to develop a stable sense of self at this stage can lead to ongoing confusion, while premature closure cuts off the deeper self-knowledge that only comes through real exploration.
