Question

I agree with Freud that humans experience conflict within themselves. When I want to do something fun, sometimes I feel guilty if there is work that I haven't finished. This reminds me of some of Freud's ideas, although I don't think there are three separate parts. I disagree with Freud that childhood experiences are the main influence on personality. I have experiences as a teenager and an adult that have shaped my life very powerfully, and I think they mattered more than childhood events. write this in a totally different way

Answer 1

I find Freud’s idea that people carry inner conflict convincing. For example, I’ll want to relax, but if I have unfinished work I feel guilty — a struggle that calls Freudian ideas to mind, even though I don’t accept the notion of three separate psychic parts. I also reject the view that childhood alone shapes personality; pivotal experiences in my teenage years and adulthood have had a stronger, more lasting impact on who I am.
