I believe that I am in the intamacy vs isolation stage of Erikson's theory. I am at the age where I am watching all of my friends get engaged and/or married and I find myself wanting that sometimes, as well. The only other stage that I think really helped me to be who I am today was identity vs identity confusion. Seeing all of the potential selves that I tried makes me laugh, and I am happy that I pulled through that one successfully.

i know how you feel about all of your friends getting engaged. I went to a small school and it seems like over half of my graduating class either has a kid now, is engaged, or is married. I feel like i'm the odd ball.
