I am a person who doesn't like conflict, and I can often hide my true emotions to mask what I am actually feeling. It is used as a defense mechanism also because anxiety and sadness are not "normal" and aren't "acceptable" emotions, so it is easier to mask them for a more acceptable emotion, my favorite being sarcasm, to help with the unpleasant feelings. Reaction formation is one of my most commonly used defense mechanisms because it is fairly internal.

Compensation is what I use the most often. I try and deal with my anxieties in a healthy way. My favorite thing to do to make up for things I've done wrong is homework. My philosophy is that high school is only a small part of lives, there is no point in being perfect in high school when you have so much ahead of you. Don't party too much now, because you need to keep your head down and work hard to have the future that you want. I don't like messing up so I like to make it up with something bigger.

Rationalization is basically making excuses to pull the blame away from yourself. I do use this one a little, because as I said in Reaction Formation, I do not like confrontation, and I do wish things would just "go away" so I try to make things more easy to deal with. Excuses, as I like to say, are how I have gotten this far in life.

Think about it: There is no easier way to deal with a problem then denying it even exists in the first place. Denial is when I don't like something that is happening, so to deal with it, I believe it is not happening at all. The problem with denial is that it will never really go away, meaning you will have to face that unwanted feeling at some point. It could lead to bigger problems as well if it isn't handled at it's beginning.

Psychodynamic Theory and Defense Mechanisms

This theory explains my personality the most I think because defense mechanisms are what I use daily. https://www.psychologies.co.uk/tests/are-you-too-hard-on-yourself.html

Id: It's 6:50. Just sleep in. You don't care if you miss school. You are so tired and you deserve some more sleep. Text Molly you are sick and just ignore Mom. Sweatpants all day.

Ego: It's 6:30. @$#&. Gotta get up. I don't care if people don't like how I look. Molly would be mad if I'm late and there is no way I'm going to do that much make-up work just because I wanted to sleep in.

Super Ego: Wake up at 5:30 and put tons of effort into your look! Early bird gets the worm!

"Of course I want to be successful but I don't crave success for me I need to be successful  to gain enough milk and honey to help those around me succeed -Rupi Kaur"

The top is my ideal self. Someone who doesn't just want success for themselves, but success for everyone.I want to be remembered for helping others and getting far in life. Below is my real self. No makeup, tired from running around all day, laughing like an idiot. Once I leave that department, that spark in me dies a little. I want to be that amazing person. The esteem is what motivates me.

This theory explains me as a person because the Hierarchy of Needs pyramid is a good way to explain someones behavior and shows themselves in a basic, easy to interpret in that way. It is important to my personality because it helps explain when it may be hard to put into words. It explains where I am at as a person.

I would say I am between Love/belonging and Esteem. I am just passing through love/belonging because of moving, I had to build myself back up in the social world, and I don't have many friends (due to girls being ...) and BELOW picture is a Law Enforcement picture, where I am loved and I do belong. I am just starting to work on my crappy self esteem.  So yep, self esteem is my goal.
