A Crisis of Identity.
Today in my developmental psychology class I learned there are four areas of identity achievement: religious, gender, political, and vocational. I have achieved full identification with only one so far in my life and that’s gender. I’m still working on the others.
This filled me with a sense of overwhelming failure as my professor explained each area. I kept thinking about how far behind I am in understanding these areas for myself and the role I play in my family, society, and life. I kept asking myself if my friends, my peers, and people of the same age as I am have already achieved full identification in these areas. What my brain kept answering with was, “Yeah, they probably have already. You’re definitely falling way behind.” I know it’s irrational for me to think this, but honestly, it’s hard not to. What am I doing wrong?
I’m still looking.
