Real Self: I think in my real self, I see someone who is aggressive, but always willing to help others. I would do anything for anyone in my life if they needed me and even though I shut out everyone emotionally, I do really care about others and their feelings more than my own.
Ideal: In an ideal world, I think I would actually care about myself and my feelings than others and I would be less aggressive and angry at the world than I am now. I think I would also be more extroverted and open to helping more people than I already do.

I don't think the Id has a lot of control on my life expect when I am hungry or in a bad mood. In a situation when I am really angry or frustrated with someone I will say something that I know will hurt them the worst to make myself feel better even though that is a really horrible thing to do. I think the ego controls a lot of my actions because it a lot of times allows me to create compromises with people rather than getting everything my way 100% which makes me feel good about how I treat others. The superego for me occurs when I am dealing with older people, children, or strangers because I feel obligated to be kind to people I don't really know because it's the good thing to do. For example, I always hold the door open for people behind me because it is the right thing to do.

I think that after my esteem category is fulfilled I would be able to move on to self actualization because I do have my physiological needs, safety needs, and love and belonging need fulfilled. I know at the moment I have drive and a passion to fulfill and I am really just waiting for a moment to present itself so I can accomplish my hopes and dreams. I think at the moment there is a brief factor of uncertainty in my life, but I think as I get older that will get smaller and smaller.

I would say one of the things in the Hierarchy of Needs I need to fulfill is the esteem category because even though I am happy with who I am, I often think of ways I could be better when comparing myself with societal norms which is something I am strongly against, but I think everyone does that at some point in their lives. I think if I focus on just myself and block out all the negative things going on in the world at the moment, I think I could fulfill the esteem category as well.

I would not consider myself an extrovert because I like to stay inside my comfort zone a lot of the time and stay secluded in my own little area without other people interfering. However, within this past year I have tried to push myself out of my comfort zone because I think it is important to better develop my social skills and to let myself experiment new things. So as of right now, I would place myself in about the middle of the scale because I still am not 100% an extrovert, however I am more now than I previously ever was.

For the majority of my life, I have always been very curious to learn new things and to further my education. I also like to consider myself creative in the sense of writing because I love to write and create things with my own thoughts and feelings.

I would say I would rate fairly low on the agreeableness because I am very insensitive to a lot of things like sad movies for example and don't really react to a lot of things most people would find sad or hurtful anymore. I'm also not very trusting because of my past and I don't like to let others see my weaknesses or get too close to me personally. I am also not very tolerant of others if they are very conceited or rude in general.

A lot of the time during my life I like to pretend I am virtually emotionless and don't let anything get to me on a personal level. While that is mostly true, a lot of things actually do hurt me on an emotion level, but I hide it and pretend I am perfectly fine on the outside. Also a lot of the time things I see on a day to day basis make me very angry or disappointed to be living in this type of society so I just to along with the flow instead of acting out against the system in unacceptable ways.

I would say one of the more common defense mechanisms I use is repression. For example, everything from my childhood I have pushed away from my memory and can only remember certain things if I think for a really really long time. A lot of specific memories I do not remember because they were so painful, I have like an awareness that they are there, but I can't actually remember what happened in detail.

I chose this quote as a representation of my beliefs because I am strongly against going along with societal norms and trying to fit in. I think our society and culture have one stereotypical view of how each individual person should be and in reality, no one can fit that norm because every person is unique down to their core. I think everyone agrees with that statement, but no one ever is actually 100% themselves because it would make them too outspoken and maybe they don't realize that they are hiding some aspect about themselves, but I think everyone hides at least some part of themselves. I firmly believe in staying true to yourself because you control your own destiny, not the person on the other side of the road judging you.

Music has always been a big part of my life. My dad has greatly influenced my music tastes because he listens to a lot of classic rock music, but nothing made before 1990 so I in turn also listen to "oldie" bands like Aerosmith and Van Halen. However, I chose the song "Still Breathing" by Green Day because I feel like I personally can relate to a lot of the lyrics. I specifically connect to the lyrics, "I've been running all my life... Just to find a home that's for the restless" and "I'm like a son that was raised without a father... I'm like a mother barely keeping it together... Oh, I'm still alive". I feel like I can relate to these quotes because my childhood was a very hard period of time for me and for a long time I felt really unstable in my environment because of all the changes that were occurring. There were times in my life that I thought everything was falling apart, but I kept on moving on.

I think my sense of humor stems from memes like this one where nationalistic pride is present and there's a lot of poking innocent fun at other people. I have a very dry and sarcastic sense of humor and I poke fun at a lot of my friends as well.

I love animals, specifically dogs. This is my dog Sydney on my deck in my backyard. I have almost always had animals in my life and a lot of my friend's dogs like me better than them!
