assignment 3
I think I am in the Identity versus Role Confusion stage. I feel like I have established my sense of identity in the last couple years but am still lacking any direction with a career or what I want in life. I’ve always known what I wanted to major in but have no idea what career to apply it towards. This may be why I have never had a serious relationship. I’m still floating around trying to figure out the right path to stabilize myself. Once I can find a clear direction and path I want to follow then I will move on to the Intimacy versus Isolation stage.

yours is like the opposite of mine. i know what i do, i just don't have the confidence that i can do that
I remember how difficult it was for me to figure out what I wanted to do with my life. I think as you get older it starts to get a little bit easier to pick a direction.
I can understand where you are comming from when you say you knew what major you wanted, but you were not sure of what area. I am in the same situation with psychology. That is one of the main things I have to overcome before stepping into the next stage.
I have felt the same way. I know what I want to major in but I have a hard time trying to see myself in that career. I think that once you realize what you wnat to do in life then it might come a little bit easier for you as time goes by.
I understand what you are going through. But personally I think you are handling it the right way. You need to figure out what you want for yourself before you can jump in and give yourself to someone else! relationships are alot of work and if you don't have yourself figured out, it will be hard to be with someone else and devote yourself to them!
I remember being at that stage. I remember how difficult it was to picture myself, and have the confidence in myself to do such a career. I think it takes time and confidence, and difently encouragement from you friends, family and professors. Good luck
