I'm asking because I'm at that stage again where I'm not sure I believe that there's anything wrong with me, and I'm trying to compare my potential identity issues with other people's experiences.

Hi, I have two types of identity issues:
1 - Gender identity issues (NOT to the point of wanting to change gender or anything of that sort). Though I'm quite happy being a guy, I feel like my life would have been much easier being female (wanting a savior as opposed to being a savior), if that makes sense. I long for a shoulder to cry on. In the dating world, that means I always lose
2 - Identity with respect to goals in life (stuff that really matters): Every few years (or weeks), this changes. Sometimes I think about becoming a lifelong search and rescue volunteer, on most days, all I want is to build lean body tissue, etc, ... you get the idea.
Hope this helps.
