An episodic net of preadolescent exposure to unrestricted internet access and social media influencing identity disturbance/diffusion- a chronic intense state of turmoil sourced from inconsistent characteristics and traits due to an unstable or absent sense of self (most common in personality disorders). As manipulative algorithms continue to disrupt cognition and warp perceptions of reality, over-identification and online immersion often lead to the suppression of direct outreaching for support in adolescence and young adulthood.
