According to proto- psychological theory, there are four types of human beings in the planet. a phlegmatic human being,choleric,a sanguine and a melancholic .They are known as the four temperaments.
Everyone at some points in life would always feel lost,confused and might not even know who they are anymore.I believe there is a phase in life where one gets to discover him/herself, around 23–27 yrs old. This is also the phase of life where you get to ask yourself a lot of questions and also get to know what you really want in life and how you would like your life to be. it is also the phase where some gets to set their long term and short term goals.This phase might start while you are still in college but to most people it happens immediately after finishing college and landing your first job.
