He would be a millennial and had studied numerous majors and tried on so many different positions at varying companies and still not know who or what fit best. His whole life, his near purpose is imitation. That’s what he is great at.

And what happens when human Ditto ages? When the world or his parents or friends, colleagues, think that it's time Ditto just settle down, one identity one job one life. Ditto feels the pressure to conform. Ditto begins to question his whole existence. Ditto becomes lost.

Ditto isn't even a stand out among other Dittos.

So Ditto ignores the comments. Ditto surrounds himself with people who don't care if Ditto settles down or not. People who know that Ditto's purpose isn't in just imitation, although he is great at that. People who allow and cultivate a world where Ditto can just be himself, continue to do what he does well, until the rest of his days.
