FEEDBACK: People who experience an identity crisis may withdraw from the normal life sequence (education, job, marriage) as Erikson did for a time or seek a negative identity in crime or drugs. Even a negative identity, as society defines it, is preferable to no identity at all, although it is not as satisfactory as a positive identity.
