“I don't know who I am”

What could be going on

Self-concept clarity: An unclear, shifting self-view fits; check whether your answers about yourself change often.

Identity diffusion: No firm direction and no active search fits; check whether you're exploring or stuck.

False self (Winnicott): Fits if you built yourself around what others needed; check what you'd do unwatched.

Socialised mind: Fits if your sense of self comes from others' expectations; check who you'd be alone.

Enmeshment/undeveloped self schema: Fits if you're fused with a parent or partner; check whether you feel separate from them.

Midlife transition: Could be a normal reappraisal after a big life change; check timing.
