Walk through your own life in a hurry. ⏳

Erik Erikson is a German-American developmental and psychoanalytic psychologist who is famous for his psychosocial development theory.

It explains that humans develop personality through eight lifelong stages, highlighting the conflict between mental and social needs at different ages, and is the commander of the term "Identity Crisis."

Irikson's 8-stage psychosocial development theory:

1.Infancy: Trust vs. No Trust (Trust vs. Mistrust).

2.Toddlers: Be Yourself vs. Shame and Doubt (Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt).

3. Preschool: Initiative vs. Guilt.

4. School age: Diligent vs. Feeling Distressed (Industry vs. Inferiority).

5.Teens: Identity vs. Confusion in Role (Identity vs. Role Confusion)

6.Young adulthood: Closer vs. Lonely (Intimacy vs. Isolation)

7.Middle Age: Creative vs. Stagnant (Generativity vs. Stagnation)

8. Old Age: Complete of Ego vs. Despair (Ego Integrity vs. Despair)

Eric Ericsson believes

Human life is not measured by fast or slow success.

But measured by "passing each life stage in a meaningful way."

He described human development as eight life stages.

Each period has its own "life problem."

If we escape a problem or jump ahead of time,

The problem won't go away. It'll only follow the next phase.

Eric Irikson said:

"May you move through your own lifetime in no hurry.

Because every age has lessons, and every lesson is worth it. "

The real meaning is

• Life doesn't go wrong if you're not ready.

• You are not failing, you are learning.

• Some stages of life are not for winning, but for "understanding yourself."

Ericsson didn't tell you to wait to get through that time, but to stay with that lifetime to learn and understand honestly.

3 practical psychological ideas

1. Do not take other people's life problems as the standard of their own lives.

Some people aged 25 have to "find their true identity."

Some people in their 40s dare ask themselves, Have I really lived my life?

The problem isn't because you feel slow.

But it's that you don't understand how to do the problems of that age.

2. Confusion is not the enemy, but it is the signal.

In Ericsson's theory,

"Confusion" is part of growth.

If you feel confused, tired or unsure,

That doesn't mean you're weak.

But that means you're transitioning.

3. If you do not learn now, life will force you to return to the beginning later.

Ericsson believes

A lesson we don't study.

Will return in a more painful form.

Such as

• Do not learn boundaries → come across relationships that hurt repeatedly

• Don't learn self-acceptance → Spend your whole life running after acceptance from others.

Understand that

Life problems are not born to make us vulnerable.

But it happens to say

We're in some kind of learning phase of life.

If you don't run away, this lesson will make us stronger.
