Problem: On your experience with this stage of teenage cognitive development. Do you remember feeling like everyone was watching you, which made you feel self-conscious? Were you ever sensitive about what others were thinking about what your wore, what you drove, or what you looked like? How do you think the coronavirus pandemic may have affected or altered this stage of Identity vs. Identity Confusion for our teenagers?
Concerning personal fable, do you remember feeling like you were "invincible" (like you would not experience bad consequences for poor decisions)? Did this thinking cause you or someone you knew to take risks that were dumb, as you look back on it? If you are willing, share a story that you remember about your own adolescent cognition or personal fable. (If you would rather not share about yourself, discuss someone else you observed (without real names!)
