Unclear Identity

My mother said to me, “If you become a soldier, you’ll be a general; if you become a monk, you’ll end up as the Pope.” Instead, I became a painter and wound up as Picasso. Pablo Picasso

Unclear identity

Symptom: One is overly influenced by external events or influential people, a.k.a. ‘anchoring.’

Synonyms: Doormat, low self-esteem, chameleon, co-dependent, low self-worth, spineless.

It’s not unusual – or necessarily bad — for people to not know who they are; you can still be happy.

A therapist can usually help if the unclear identify is psychological problem or source.
