Psychosocial History In Psychology there are many different theories about us as human. Many theories could be off the wall such as many of Simon Freud’s were. However, most of the time no matter how off the wall they are they still seem to loop around to a conclusion that makes perfect sense. Therefor we can not just throw out some of these theories because they may seem absurd. The five topics I found that apply to my life the best were life span development,

As Foley (2015) wrote “When boys play, the focus tends to be on the activity, when women play the focus tends to be on connection and conversation”. I have always been very competitive in anything that I do. I love doing anything that involves physical activity. Watching my sister babysit two kids one being a boy and one being a girl it was hard to play with the girl because she wanted to talk and play and pretend as opposed to the boy just wanting to run around and have fun.

As McAlhaney (2015) stated “Oftentimes, simply sharing these burdens with another person can have a beneficial influence”. Having many assignments due and having to worry about other factors leads to stress and tension build up, if I do not let it out I feel as if i’ll just explode just like the ballon. I feel like sometimes I can not say everything I want to say because it might be judged for it or may be criticized for it because my thoughts may not be as logical as others. Sometimes I really do think that I may be viewed as a Simon Freud, without the penis envy, of
