Young people are constantly exposed to expectations from family, friends, society, and social media. It can become difficult to distinguish between who they genuinely are and who they think they are supposed to be.
Rather than building identity around comparison, explore personal values, interests, strengths, and beliefs.
It is normal for identity to evolve during adolescence and early adulthood. Trying different activities and experiences can help young people understand themselves better.
The goal is not to become someone everyone approves of but to develop a clearer understanding of oneself.
“Your identity is not a competition.
— R Trainers and Motivators
