Here's my dilemna.
I don't know if it's been brought up before, but it's been bothering me for a while now.
Should you even bother to attempt to type yourself when your brain is still in development and you're not 20/21+? I'm asking because I'm 17, and most older folk profess that there is an overemphasis on emotional development and finding out who you are that invades your mind in adolescence, but not necessarily afterwards.
Is there too much bias and lack of development to be accurate? Should I even bother to attempt to classify and understand myself to this extent when I might potentially change later? And this applies to anyone. Thoughts?
My second question is, to what extent does mental illness/depression and things like anxiety disorders distort your understanding of yourself? How do I determine whether I'm in a loop or whether I'm imitating/irrationality is imitating another type? Do things like traumatic experiences erase simplistic theories? Just curious.
