Trust vs. Mistrust

The first stage we focus on is trust vs. mistrust this is one if the most important stages. This is when caregivers start to gain the infants trust by showing love, compassion, love, and care. If the caregiver does not show this the infant will not trust their caregiver. I spoke with my caregivers which were my parents and I was a overall happy baby and loved people. I never needed much and adapted to pretty much anyone and never felt scared around new people. I am the total opposite today so hearing this I was shocked.

Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt

This is the stage where children start to develop a sense of control over physical skills and independence. When being successful this will lead to feelings of autonomy. When children have failure at things this gives them that feeling of shame and doubt. When I was younger my parents said I was a over achiever and I always kept trying to accomplish things and do them the right way. There was many times I failed and my parents said I never doubted myself and knew I could do anything I set my mind to.

Initiative vs Guilt

This stage in our lives is when we start showing power and control over our environments. When showing success this leads to a sense of purpose. Children who try and show to much power usually get disapproval and start to feel a sense of guilt. Growing up I remember always feeling important and my ideas being heard and being told anything was possible if I set my mind to it. I do believe there was times I felt a sense of doubt and maybe just didn't express it for people to notice as much.

Industry vs. Inferiority

Children start to open up and develop social skills and academic skills when start school and being around peers. When getting the satisfaction of success this then leads to competence. Having the sense of failure then leads to inferiority. I have always been a social butterfly and being able to talk to people and be open. My mother used to tell me when I was younger you are going to be so like and have many friends just because of how outgoing I was and still am to this day.

Identity vs. Role Confusion

This stage is when teens need to develop their very own sense of self and their personal identity. This stage is hard because sometimes its hard trying to fins out who you are and what kind of person you want to present your self to the world. Success is staying true to yourself and believing on who you are being your own person. Failure leads to weak sense of self and then you start to forget who you truly are.

Intimacy vs. Isolation

The power of love! When getting to this stage in life as young adults we need to form intimate loving relationships with other people. Success leads to strong loving relationships and happiness. Failure leads to loneliness and isolation and being unhappy. This stage is hard to figure out these days it is so hard to fins someone who you are compatible with and find your happiness.

Generativity vs. Stagnation

This time in life adults tend to create and nurture things that outlast them by having children and having grandchildren. Success leads to accomplishments and failure leads to shallow involvement in the world and a sense of feeling alone.

Ego integrity vs. Despair

When older adults start to look back at life and see the happy moments and wonderous things they done and accomplished. Success at this stage gives a sense of wisdom and failure in regret and bitterness in ones life.
