Industry (Compentence) vs. Inferiority
During this period of time of my childhood, children influenced the way I felt about myself. I felt insecure and ended up with low self esteem. I felt insecure based on the boys that teased me. I also felt smart because the teacher's placed me in a group known for getting good grades, and working together to complete there homework. We were very competitive to get our homework turned in on time and to make sure our homework was correct. We were teachers pets. -
Identiy vs. Role
Based on my insecurities and looks, I felt insecure to dress nice. I did not want my peers to be jealous. I instead chose to dress in baggie clothes. I circled my self around friends that were involved in gangs, sexual activity, My personality could have went either way. I fought people and people fought me. I skipped school with my friends because I thought this was school. I thought resembling a gang member was cool and part of my identity and self. -
Intimacy vs. Isolation
I had my first child around 17 to 18 years of age. This made me grow up fast. I did not complete this stage successful because I was missing parts of Erickson's 8 stages. I avoided intimacy, feared commitment and I felt alone. I ended up in a abusive relationship which cause this loneliness, depression and isolation..
