Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt
I was about 3 years old when I fought my mom's friend's son for taking my barbie away. My mom scolded me and took all my dolls away from me. This scenario creates feelings of shame. -
Initiative vs. Guilt
This is another year of me fighting but this time it was with my older sister. I tend to get in a lot of fights when no adults are around. I do not know how but somehow I annoy my sister. When she gets mad I get mad and I start to throw a fit and start kicking her. My mom comes in starts to wonder. I blame my sister and she gets grounded for weeks. This is an example of when I felt guilty of something I did but I blamed someone else for it. -
Industry vs. Inferiority
In elementary, we would always take a multiplication or any type of math. Before we start it, my teacher would always take the kids who were not very good at math and would start mini-lessons and I was part of it. I felt less intelligent because I needed more help.This caused me to feel inferior to my classmates because the ones who did not have to get a mini-lesson had free time. -
Identity vs. Role Confusion
I was 12 years old when I had roleconfusion. My mom made me pb&j for lunch and I remember a kid saying I can't have pb&j sandwich because I was not white. I felt so confused and embarrassed. I told my mom to stop making me pb&j sandwich even though it was my favorite. Is my mom only suppose to make Filipino-Mexican food and I cant have pb&j because I am not white? This has caused to me have a role confusion and made me stick to my two cultures even when the American style was also apart of me.
