According to Erikson, Isolation versus Intimacy is the Psychosocial Crisis of a young adult. I belong to this stage and trying to win this crisis with flying colors. I am preparing myself to perform tasks that a young adult should realize and attain.
Physically, it is the time where in we are in the healthiest and will reach our peak performance. Cognitively, it is the time to grow up as mature individuals and make decisions in life. Socio-emotionally, it is the time to take roles in the society. It is the time in taking roles of independence, change in lifestyles, entering marriage life and having family. This is the period of developing the ability to give love and receive love. It is the stage of forming and beginning of to make long-term commitment to relationships. This is the struggle of young adults if they decide on forming intimate relationships or isolating oneself to the society. These are some of the developmental tasks I must complete and polish for perfection. It is essential to meet and fulfill these tasks for it will lead to a positive outcome.
I can say that I am at my peak physical performance. I consider myself as a mature butterfly, ready and excited to fly. I can do things that I know I will not be able to do when I am in my thirty-something. That is why, while I am still 22 years old, breathing and young, I must use this strength to maximize my potentials. I do not get tired easily and prefers sweating activities. But I should work on taking care of my health today. I should be conscious on the things I put inside my mouth. I should take care of my body as I take care of my possessions. As the cliché goes, health is wealth. Maybe 5 years from now, I know I will regret that I did not think about my health status today. That is the reason why I really keep in mind that I need to take vitamins regularly, exercise and be on a healthy diet. As I mature, I really appreciate the beauty of life and the wisdom I gained from my experiences.
It is the moment also for growing up and making decisions in life. This is the stage of deciding on things without parental consultation. I can decide whether to go home late or early or not going home. I can say that I can embrace my semi-complete freedom. Nevertheless, I still bear in mind that in this culture, parental role is very important whether which stage you belong. I am happy to say that I am not that dependent on my parent’s decisions. Even if it still affects my decision but I follow my own choice rather than following them just like in my adolescence years. I am an amateur in this stage but I am trying to exert more effort on making my endeavor a memorable one. I know this is the challenge to many young adults- experiencing the first-hand information rather than hearing it from older generation or maybe seeing it on big-screens. For the next 5 years, I still belong to the young adult stage; I will also be able to share my experiences to my children and young adults someday.
Young adults- the time in taking roles of independence, lifestyles, marriage and family. I know I am expected to act maturely. I am expected to speak in a grown-up manner. Yes, I act and speak like a mature individual. But on the contrary, I do not want to lose my innocence and childlike actions. I still want to taste more in life by disregarding responsibilities in life. Although I still manage to control this perception. I am able to show my responsibilities as a daughter and part of our household, to my duties in my workplace, and to the society. Changing my lifestyle is I my weak point because although I am working, I still enjoy my lifestyle before. Maybe I should work on this part of my development. It bothers me to know that if I change my lifestyle, I will not be able to cope with it. For instance, I have to be independent on my own needs, but I know my means doesn’t meet my ends. In addition, maybe 5 years from now, my means will also increase and in that case, I can be independent. My preferences have also changed and this bothers me because it feels that I am beginning to lose my innocence and childlike actions. I do worry about my future but I know I am prepared to face it. The issue of changing my lifestyle will take a long way in my life. I should exert more effort on that. 5 years from now, maybe I will independent, responsible for my own needs, doing my social role as a woman and part of the society and most especially self-reliant person.
Marriage is one.
Maybe, having a family is on the last on my list for now. Maybe at my late 20s I will think about that. This is the time for building intimate relationships. I also developed the ability to give love and receive love from others. For me, having a partner-a friend, colleague, sibling, and a lover in this stage is helpful. It is advantageous to me because of the crisis between isolation and intimacy. Intimacy is the ability to be close to others, as a lover, a friend and as a participant in the society. I have a clear sense of who I am and I am no longer afraid of losing myself and afraid of commitments. Building intimacy takes time, communication and understanding. Regarding the stage of settling down, I am preparing to face that chapter of my life. But for now, having a stable and healthy relationship will be my stepping stone to reach the “marriage and family life”.
Learning the developmental tasks helped me in a way that I am able to understand myself better. Improving my relationship to others and to myself. It increased my appreciation to the developmental tasks I have to face and achieve. I know, slowly and surely I will surpass this stage in my life with flying colors. The developmental tasks of Erikson and other theorist will serve as a guide in promoting and enhancing the life of human being. I should work on changing my lifestyle. Knowing that I have to accept my responsibilities in this stage makes me recognize that I should practice and open my mind to the fact that as a young adult, there are things I need to acknowledge. I also learned to appreciate things in life. Things that matters most; for instance, time, communication, love, relationships, career, life, health, valuable and invaluable things. I learn to value tangible and intangible in life.
I know myself better now because of the knowledge and better understanding of the developmental concepts and stages of life. Five years from now, I am still on this stage but on my late 20s. I must pass and do well on that stage.
