I also wanted to have a positive impact on a person's well-being. This conflict brought me to the next stage, through early adulthood, according to Erikson, intimacy versus isolation. Because I couldn't pinpoint a career, I lost my sense of identity to connect with other people. I'm still aware that it's okay to not know what career you want when you grow up. The inner turmoil of trying to figure out where my true passion lies still exists and affects how I interact with people. I'm not content with not being able to decide yet, and I find it difficult to like myself with all my heart. Mixing these emotions of low self-esteem into my daily routine has led to me not being able to initiate conversations with other colleagues or colleagues or trust others. Not being able to find my role in the original phase during adolescence made it difficult for me to manage the next phase of development, very similar to what Erikson theorized for his psychosocial phases. During the event, seeing my father almost lose consciousness due to the risk of diabetic coma also impacts the way I behave
