kelel01 1 #1 November 15, 2006 Because I spend the whole time diagnosing myself. Apparently, according to Erikson, I'm stuck in the "identity vs. role confusion" stage, which is why I'm having difficulty getting into the "intimacy vs. isolation" stage. No wonder I can't pick a career AND I'm single! Erikson's stages, for those interested: Trust vs. Mistrust - check Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt - check Initiative vs. Guilt - check Industry vs. Inferiority - check Identity vs. Role Confusion Intimacy vs. Isolation Generativity vs. Stagnation Integrity vs. Despair Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kelel01 1 #7 November 15, 2006 "My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery . . . My father would womanize; he would drink; he would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy, the sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical, summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds, pretty standard really." Think I'll be ok?

goofyjumper 0 #8 November 15, 2006 Oh my god, I love Psychology! That is what my degree is in. My first Psychology class is what got me hooked on it. You must be crazy if you do not appreciate psychology. I think Freud would say that you hate your teacher and are projecting it to the actual class instead. Or you ave penis envy...... You might want to look at who is teaching the class. ----------------- I love and Miss you so much Honey! Orfun #3 ~ Darla Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lawrocket 3 #10 November 15, 2006 A psychiatrist diagnosed me with "dissociative personality disorder." I told her, "You've got the wrong guy."
