Is it common to have an identity crisis while you're in your 20s?

Answer 1

In your 20s you are still trying to establish an identity. You are finally out from under your parents' rules and may be finishing school. You now really need to define yourself as an adult based on the values that you deem important - not what others impose on you.

Answer 2

According to Erickson, you have some unresolved developmental issues. This may be true, but the bottom line for you is how you deal with it. Stop, relax and find out what is going on in your life that is causing you to feel this way. Is it the way you see yourself or the way others see you. Fix what you feel is wrong and go through every day being the person that you know you are and you will be just fine. If youi want to read about identity crisis go to the indicated web site.

Answer 3

Honey, you can have an identity crisis at ANY point and time in your life. It's perfectly normal. Throughout our life's journey we will often question our purpose and who we are. There are moments when we are more certain than others. Then, there are those times when we're totally lost and confused. Just hang in there, take some quiet time, reflect, and pray. Work on being the best person that you can be and eventually things will fall into place. Best wishes to you.
Stay Strong,
Journey

Answer 4

Definitely! Your twenties are probably the most volatile decade in your life because you are just out on your own and it's probably your first time in a realy work environment, and you're starting to figure out who you are and who you want to be. I am almost out of my twenties now, but I have to say they have been really tumultuous and I now feel like I know exactly who I am and what I do and don't want out of life. Don't worry-you're normal!

Answer 5

it doesnt matter if it is common or not. each person is uniquely distinct and should face their own problems with understanding and acceptance.
