Erikson's stages

I feel that I am currently in the Intimacy vs. Isolation stage of social development. I am working on my relationships with other people. I am not only looking for the person I want to marry, but also working on my relationships with friends and family. I also feel that I am still in the Identity vs. Identity stage as well because I am continuing in my 20s to figure out exactly who I am and what my values are.

    Kaitlyn,

    I think it is really important to successfully resolve the identity vs. identity confusion stage before you enter a relationship. I know in my personal experience both people really need to know who they are and what they want out of life if they are going to make a serious relationship long term.

    I think unfortunately, in this day and age, the identaity stage is one of the hardest to overcome because we are bombarded with so many different choices in our teen years. It can seem pretty overwhelming but I have faith in you girl!

    I agree with you Kaitlyn. I think it is difficult to figure out exactly who you are when you are still young and experiencing life. I feel like it helps to have good friends and family to help support you while you are still figuring out exactly who you are.
