Who I Am
I am Chris Anthony Hyde, a very unique talented and overall coolest guy alive. I’m not the type that likes and dislikes things but I do like more than dislike. To start off with on the right foot I like girls. I like fruits, especially apples, I like to keep people happy, good environment, work, have money in my pocket, have a good peaceful relationship with my girls, friends and families. There is just one thing that I don’t like and its bad mind fake people and also not performing to the best of my ability when I’m needed. There are people who are trying to ruin you instead of helping to build up yourself. My hobbies that I do would be listening to music while taking a bike ride by the beach side. But what I do most is just practicing basketball and try to become good at it. The talents that I posses are the ability to know things about people by just taking a look at them and have a chat with them, also I’m athletic. The characteristics that I have are: charming, friendly, talkative, smart, expressive, down to earth, out-spoken and easy to talk to.
My strengths would be that I can keep my emotions intact and not just break down easily, I know how to control my emotions around people, I’m strong both mental and physical, I get along with others easy and when I’m ready. My weakness would be that I’m not as expressive as my peers would want me to be. I can improve my strengths by just keep on doing them, exercising them more often and putting them to the test. Improving my weakness would be very difficult to do but as time goes by and I begin to get closer and closer to someone I would be able to loosen myself and let things out. My current role in my family would be the big brother; I also assist in the household as much as I can. With friends I just keep myself intact and watch how I talk and do things with them, they might think I’m fool but they don’t know what’s going through my mind. With my partner I try to be as good as possible even though I don’t seem that trust worthy I am. Yeah you might hear things about me but they can’t prove I did them because I didn’t. Due to that I keep to myself a lot. In my job I just do what I got to do without complaining. I have also achieved many enemies but they don’t matter because I have someone who stands by my side when I need help and I cherish and appreciate that a lot. Who I am now I hard to just to describe, for you to really know me you have to spend time with me but I have achieve many honors that made me who I am now.

CHRIS HYDE
Sigmund’s Theory
Sigmund Freud an Austrian physician developed the method of psychoanalysis. He won recognition as a great psychological geographer, the first to map the subconscious world of the human mind. He taught that memories stored in the subconscious mind influenced a person’s mental life. He believed that mental illness resulting from such memories could be cured by psychoanalysis, which brought the memories into consciousness. He felt dreams were a major key to the subconscious mind. He listed three main forces in man’s life: the id, an instinctive force, the ego, an executive force that contacts the world of reality; and the superego, the superior disciplinary force. He originated the phrase Oedipus complex, meaning a child’s subconscious attachment to a parent of the opposite sex. Freud emphasized the effect of sex on behavior. “In a normal sex life” he said, “no neurosis is possible.”
Psychoanalysis theory is a part of psychology. The most important new discovery of psychoanalysis had to do with consciousness. Until Freud time, scientists generally agreed that a person knew what he was thinking. In other words, a person was conscious of everything of any important that was going on his mind. Freud showed that this was far from true. Many important things go on I a person’s mind without his knowing about them. These unconscious activities of the mind include thoughts, feelings, and wishes. This fact explains many things about the mind. For example, it explains why the psychoanalytic method works. When a patient stops consciously controlling his thoughts, his mind comes under control of his mind comes under control of his unconscious activities. By listening to what the patient says, the psychoanalysis can discover what his unconscious thoughts, feelings, and wishes are. The discovery of unconscious mental activity also led to the explanation of the nature and causes of certain mental illness. These include particularly the neuroses and, to some extent, the functional psychoses. In these illnesses, the patients’ complaints proved to be caused by unconscious conflicts over desires they had in childhood. As children, the patients feared that their parents or other person would hurt or punish them for these desires. The Oral Stage, the oral stage begins at birth, when the oral cavity is the primary focus of libidal energy. The child, of course, preoccupies himself with nursing, with the pleasure of sucking and accepting things into the mouth. The oral character who is frustrated at this stage, whose mother refused to nurse him on demand or who truncated nursing sessions early, is characterized by pessimism, envy, suspicion and sarcasm. The overindulged oral character, whose nursing urges were always and often excessively satisfied, is optimistic, gullible, and is full of admiration for others around him. The stage culminates in the primary conflict of weaning, which both deprives the child of the sensory pleasures of nursing and of the psychological pleasure of being cared for, mothered, and held. The stage lasts approximately one and one-half years. The Anal Stage , at one and one-half years, the child enters the anal stage. With the advent of toilet training comes the child's obsession with the erogenous zone of the anus and with the retention or expulsion of the feces. This represents a classic conflict between the id, which derives pleasure from expulsion of bodily wastes, and the ego and superego, which represent the practical and societal pressures to control the bodily functions. The child meets the conflict between the parent's demands and the child's desires and physical capabilities in one of two ways: Either he puts up a fight or he simply refuses to go. The child who wants to fight takes pleasure in excreting maliciously, perhaps just before or just after being placed on the toilet. If the parents are too lenient and the child manages to derive pleasure and success from this expulsion, it will result in the formation of an anal expulsive character. This character is generally messy, disorganized, reckless, careless, and defiant. Conversely, a child may opt to retain feces, thereby spiting his parents while enjoying the pleasurable pressure of the built-up feces on his intestine. If this tactic succeeds and the child is overindulged, he will develop into an anal retentive character. This character is neat, precise, orderly, careful, stingy, withholding, obstinate, meticulous, and passive-aggressive. The resolution of the anal stage, proper toilet training, permanently affects the individual propensities to possession and attitudes towards authority. This stage lasts from one and one-half to two years. The Phallic Stage, the phallic stage is the setting for the greatest, most crucial sexual conflict in Freud's model of development. In this stage, the child's erogenous zone is the genital region. As the child becomes more interested in his genitals, and in the genitals of others, conflict arises. The conflict, labeled the Oedipus complex (The Electra complex in women), involves the child's unconscious desire to possess the opposite-sexed parent and to eliminate the same-sexed one. In the young male, the Oedipus conflict stems from his natural love for his mother, a love which becomes sexual as his libidal energy transfers from the anal region to his genitals. Unfortunately for the boy, his father stands in the way of this love. The boy therefore feels aggression and envy towards this rival, his father, and also feels fear that the father will strike back at him. As the boy has noticed that women, his mother in particular, have no penises, he is struck by a great fear that his father will remove his penis, too. The anxiety is aggravated by the threats and discipline he incurs when caught masturbating by his parents. This castration anxiety outstrips his desire for his mother, so he represses the desire. Moreover, although the boy sees that though he cannot posses his mother, because his father does, he can posses her vicariously by identifying with his father and becoming as much like him as possible: this identification indoctrinates the boy into his appropriate sexual role in life. A lasting trace of the Oedipal conflict is the superego, the voice of the father within the boy. By thus resolving his incestuous conundrum, the boy passes into the latency period, a period of libidal dormancy. On the Electra complex, Freud was more vague. The complex has its roots in the little girl's discovery that she, along with her mother and all other women, lack the penis which her father and other men posses. Her love for her father then becomes both erotic and envious, as she yearns for a penis of her own. She comes to blame her mother for her perceived castration, and is struck by penis envy, the apparent counterpart to the boy's castration anxiety. The resolution of the Electra complex is far less clear-cut than the resolution of the Oedipus complex is in males; Freud stated that the resolution comes much later and is never truly complete. Just as the boy learned his sexual role by identifying with his father, so the girl learns her role by identifying with her mother in an attempt to posses her father vicariously. At the eventual resolution of the conflict, the girl passes into the latency period, though Freud implies that she always remains slightly fixated at the phallic stage. Fixation at the phallic stage develops a phallic character, who is reckless, resolute, self-assured, and narcissistic--excessively vain and proud. The failure to resolve the conflict can also cause a person to be afraid or incapable of close love; Freud also postulated that fixation could be a root cause of homosexuality. Latency Period , the resolution of the phallic stage leads to the latency period, which is not a psychosexual stage of development, but a period in which the sexual drive lies dormant. Freud saw latency as a period of unparalleled repression of sexual desires and erogenous impulses. During the latency period, children pour this repressed libidal energy into asexual pursuits such as school, athletics, and same-sex friendships. But soon puberty strikes and the genitals once again become a central focus of libidal energy. The Genital Stage, in the genital stage, as the child's energy once again focuses on his genitals, interest turns to heterosexual relationships. The less energy the child has left invested in unresolved psychosexual developments, the greater his capacity will be to develop normal relationships with the opposite sex. If, however, he remains fixated, particularly on the phallic stage, his development will be troubled as he struggles with further repression and defenses.

WHO I WAS
Chris Hyde
Personality Development
3rd Feb. 2011
Who I Was
My name is Chris Hyde I was born on the 1st April. I come from a family that consist of my mother, 3 sisters and 2 other brother. My past was not that great at all because I have been through many things that people would not believe, but I will give a brief history. I cannot remember my childhood growing up because when I was a baby I was in a car accident with my mom, we both have a scar under our chin as remembrance of it. I know it because that is what they told me because I don’t really remember anything. What I can remember was the time when my mom was pregnant for my 1st sister, at that time she had already have 3 boys but we were small, we lived in a area that was deserted from everyone plus the house was nothing like a house but it was our home. One day we went out to visit our grandparents who lived in town, it was like a daily ritual. We came back in the night time at our home, it was dark and always creepy but we were familiar with the area anyway when we open the door we realized that we had been rob but up to now I don’t know what they wanted from us because we were poor. They destroyed the inside of our house, turn it upside ways, they stole our documents such as birth papers etc…we immediately called the police and even up to now no one has been found or put in jail, was like it didn’t matter. A next problem that we had occurred in like weeks, for me I think we were target of something. As mention before my mom was still pregnant and they try to rub as again but in this case we were in the house sleeping. At that time I was like 6 years old. I saw my mom fighting the man pregnant, we try to help her but we couldn’t so we ran and call the neighbor, they inform the police and the man fled. Up to now I feel bad because I couldn’t protect my mother so I said to myself no one will chancy her. Because of all those things that occurred that are we move from there, at that time I was attending Xavier School. I was a bright student and pass with all high grades, but because we had to move I went to another school, Church of Christ. I was like already in a higher class at my previous school because I was too smart for the class I was placed in but in Church of Christ they place me way low not caring that I had already pass those class before. At that moment of my life I was becoming more into my books but at the same time my mom was doing things on her own so she needed help. She found a step father for us so we move to a next house and another school. The process didn’t happen fast so I was skipping school a lot to earn money for my mother. At that time I was like 12, just one kid on the street trying to earn something and didn’t care what it took. The man that my mom had took me to work with him on the weekend, that’s how I learn how to build house and build chair and carpentry, he was great at first but then we keep on moving from house to house. I have been live in houses that don’t have windows and door that are about to fall and so on hope you get the point. In the nights he got abusive with us, he would whip us with anything that he hands in his reach. He would hang us from our legs and just lash us with wire and he was also getting abusive with my mother we still didn’t leave because he was providing and we were young. Anyway we move to a sensible house and was still attending Church of Christ but it was far from us because we had to walk so we would reach late in the evenings and he didn’t appreciate that so he would beat us. One day I was coming late, my brother had already reached home so he was inside. I already know that he would lash me so I made up my mind at age 12 to abandon my house. I told my mother, “pack up my things for me and send it to my grandparent’s house because I will stay there now”. That was the starting of my life because it was terrible, I had to sleep on board with no covering on the side but I did not complain once because I was doing me. I was working on and off like helping people at the same time my character was growing and I was becoming much more smarter and also sad to say my childhood didn’t exist for me but it doesn’t matter. After a while my brother move from the house then my mother and little sister came so we move in at our grandparent’s house but the space was limited so we built up a little place to stay in the yard and up to now we are good. When they all came I went to St. Paul’s School. At that school it met a lot of good, 2 faces, bad people and a love one. There was the first I came to face with feelings because things had settled down with me and I had time for other things. I was place in STD.3. Since I started there I pass all my terms first and high, I was nobody when I came in but I was capturing the people attention so people wanted to help me to further my studies but due to bad mind and racist people that accuse me off things that I didn’t do I was never given the chance but it didn’t matter because a great lady came in my life and helped me, I was involve in church and was turning a good guy so I got the opportunity to attend high school “CCC” and “CJC”. What I just mention is nothing because it’s just like a preview of what a smile can hide. I was terrible kids that use to steal to survive; troublesome who made the right choice. I had the choice to be bad kid or good kid and at the end I made the right choice but only God can judge me! We are not perfect but we can try to be. Up to now everyone I know loves me because I’m easy to love and hard to ignore and hate but still people hate.
My past achievements are those that I got in my primary school. I earn a lot of good merits such as for always being present in school, for excellent grades, helping others and overall for best performance. I also achieve medal for my primary school basketball team and for a under 21 tournaments and achievements from high school such as sports medal and my diploma and also the love, care and trust of many teachers and friends. To be honest the only trauma that I had that change my life was the constant abuse of my step father and the many days without food in my stomach and to see the pain of mother. The happiest moment of my life was…I don’t really have a happy moment as yet but the worst was to be on my own as a child, struggling and surviving alone with minimal help or assistance because I was on my own on the streets “hustling”, stealing sometimes not because I was trying to be delinquent but for survival and trying to come up in life. The scariest time of my life was the time I got in my first bike accident, it was the first time I cry! I was hit by an old car, I elevated in the air and the bike land on top of me, I was in pain but hate needles so I didn’t want to go to the hospital, I was taken home and force to the hospital. They took X-rays and told me that I need surgery for my shoulder because it had broken or something but I got terrified and cry a lot because I never wanted to open up at all but then in the end I didn’t because they realize that it was a mistake and that my bone was growing that way, it was pretty weird and relieving. The embarrassing time I had was playing basketball when a guy was driving in the ball to score, while doing that he knock my pants off and a girl that I knew was watching and kind of laugh so I hurry pull it up and play like if nothing had occurred. The life changing experience was when I walked out of my house at age 12 and began my own lifestyle and made my own decision, it made me the person who I am now and I’m glad and don’t regret nothing.
In my life I have met a lot of people who influence me but those who I all look up to change on me and I don’t even talk to them now because of what they did to me. Due to a lady that assist me and ask little back of me I got through school and I’m blessed and thankful to all their support and friendship, even those who didn’t help me and didn’t think that I was good and would not make it through because without them I would be nothing. Role models would be my mother as first and my favorite basketball player “Kobe Bryant” and any successful people who made it and didn’t had nothing.

Autonomy or self-determinism is eroded by the cultural conditioning of our upbringing and the continuous assault of the media, so that many lives are to a considerable extent programmed, as in a hypnotic trance.

| Test and Score | Low Range | Medium Range | High Range | Test Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15. Aggressiveness (Norm=12) Your Score: 16 | 0 - 7 | 7 - 18 | 18 - 31 | 17 Jan 2011 |
| Your Score is in the Medium Range You are rarely overtly hostile, but you still may on occasion use aggressive means to get your way or impose your will, and you feel aggressive if you consider yourself wronged. | ||||
| 16. Assertiveness (Norm=15) Your Score: 16 | 0 - 10 | 10 - 21 | 21 - 31 | 17 Jan 2011 |
| Your Score is in the Medium Range You normally stand up for your rights and express your point of view, but may back off if there is a likelihood of 'causing a fuss' or aggression from a person in authority. Assertiveness is often confused with aggressiveness, but really it is a matter of standing up for your rights and for what you feel is right. As long as you are not rude, or inconsiderate of the rights of others, the ability to be assertive is an asset and is necessary to achieve worthwhile aims and impose some order and justice in your environment. | ||||
| 17. Ambition (Norm=14) Your Score: 16 | 0 - 9 | 9 - 20 | 20 - 31 | 17 Jan 2011 |
| Your Score is in the Medium Range You want to achieve good things in your life but you may back off, due to pressure to conform, the fear of failure (or even of success), or the lack of a clear vision for what you hope to achieve. | ||||
| 18. Manipulation (Norm=12) Your Score: 16 | 0 - 7 | 7 - 18 | 18 - 31 | 17 Jan 2011 |
| Your Score is in the Medium Range On occasion you may feel the need to be manipulative. Most people would like to have empathic relationships since empathy is necessary for good communication, shared agreements and mutual understanding. However, the need to be right, fixed ideas and the stresses of survival may sometimes drive people into manipulative strategies, as seen all too commonly in the home or in the workplace. | ||||
| 19. Sensation-Seeking (Norm=15) Your Score: 16 | 0 - 10 | 10 - 21 | 21 - 31 | 17 Jan 2011 |
| Your Score is in the Medium Range You like a little excitement and adventure but not at the cost - at least for long - of the security and relationships of your normal home and work environment. | ||||
| 20. Dogmatism (Norm=15) Your Score: 15 | 0 - 10 | 10 - 21 | 21 - 31 | 17 Jan 2011 |
| Your Score is in the Medium Range You like to think you look at things objectively and flexibly, not just in black and white. However, there may be areas of prejudice, where you have fixed ideas that prevent an objective overview, and you may not even be conscious of this. Always good to look again at the facts and the merits of all sides of an argument. | ||||
| 21. Masculinity/Femininity (Norm=13) Your Score: 15 | 0 - 8 | 8 - 19 | 19 - 31 | 17 Jan 2011 |
| Your Score is in the Medium Range You have a balance of both masculine and feminine characteristics. With balance, the men are not suppressing their 'feminine side' and the women are not suppressing 'masculine' characteristics, since we all have both masculine and feminine traits in our makeup - indeed we need these to express our full potential. Obviously men tend to score more toward masculine on average than women but there is a great deal of variation within each sex and the cultural conditioning of gender stereotypes is under increasing scrutiny. | ||||
| Test and Score | Low Range | Medium Range | High Range | Test Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 22. Sexual Libido (Norm=27) Your Score: 21 | 0 - 22 | 22 - 33 | 33 - 42 | 17 Jan 2011 |
| Your Score is in the Low Range Sexual libido (sex drive) is often correlated with quick sexual arousal, interest in visual explicitness and a liking for impersonal penetrative sex, which is rather a masculine view of the nature of sex and does not take account of the equally strong more feminine drive towards procreation, the aesthetic pleasure and eroticism of sex, and the expression of intimacy through shared pleasure and contact. When partners are happy to contribute towards the fulfillment of each other's needs and desires, then compatibility is possible and male values complement female. This requires communication, honesty and empathy, which is why sex in the context of a loving relationship is so much more fulfilling. With libido on the low side, you are likely to have no impulse for voyeurism or exhibitionism, a distaste for sexual explicitness and especially pornography and have no strong longing for the physical act of intercourse. You may find it hard to get sexually aroused, or conditions may have to be "just right", which implies there is not a compatible partner with whom empathy and intimacy is readily available. On the other hand, you may be looking for more spiritual qualities than being "good in bed" or the sex drive may have been satisfactorily sublimated into other creative activities. | ||||
| 23. Sexual Satisfaction (Norm=21) Your Score: 17 | 0 - 16 | 16 - 27 | 27 - 35 | 17 Jan 2011 |
| Your Score is in the Medium Range You are likely to be quite satisfied with your sex life. You are moderately shy and occasionally a bit prudish. You are only a little nervous with the opposite sex, and just a little embarrassed when taking about sex. A person's satisfaction with their sex life may be quite independent of his or her sexual appetite. Some couples may be quite fulfilled sexually without frequent active sex; this is more likely to be the case with older people. | ||||
| 24. Sexual Permissiveness (Norm=16) Your Score: 17 | 0 - 11 | 11 - 22 | 22 - 35 | 17 Jan 2011 |
| Your Score is in the Medium Range You consider sexual intercourse as a far from trivial act, and you have regard for the fidelity of your relationship. You may tend to be jealous upon occasion but you don't let irrational fears in this respect destroy your relationship. You are willing to experiment with new and various ways of fulfilling your mutual attraction with your partner. | ||||
| 25. Sexual Stereotype (Norm=24) Your Score: 18 | 0 - 19 | 19 - 30 | 30 - 35 | 17 Jan 2011 |
| Your Score is in the Low Range You tend to agree with a stereotypical female point of view regarding sexual matters and to disagree with the typical male point of view. | ||||
| Test and Score | Low Range | Medium Range | High Range | Test Date | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 26. Social Permissiveness (Norm=15) Your Score: 14 | 0 - 10 | 10 - 21 | 21 - 32 | 17 Jan 2011 | |
| Your Score is in the Medium Range You only favor censorship in extreme cases, and legal control only of clearly dangerous practices. You are tolerant of alternative views, even those that may threaten the status quo, but only if they are rational and based on objective criticism. You welcome genuine reform, though it may be with the proviso that it doesn't step on your own toes. | |||||
| 27. Racism (Norm=11) Your Score: 11 | 0 - 6 | 6 - 17 | 17 - 26 | 17 Jan 2011 | |
| Your Score is in the Medium Range You are wary of overt racial prejudice, where innocent people suffer as a result, though at the same time you may also feel less than enthusiastic about the presence of racial minorities or the prospect of mixing with them. | |||||
| 28. Belief (Norm=15) Your Score: 12 | 0 - 10 | 10 - 21 | 21 - 26 | 17 Jan 2011 | |
| Your Score is in the Medium Range You are likely to have taken on a range of beliefs that were were taught by parents teachers, church and social media. Nevertheless you may question some of these and be skeptical about adopting new beliefs. | |||||
| 29. Socialism/Capitalism (Norm=23) Your Score: 24 | 0 - 18 | 18 - 29 | 29 - 50 | 17 Jan 2011 | |
| Your Score is in the Medium Range Between the totalitarian extremes of Right and Left lies the central majority of people, at least in Western democracies, with a range between Republican/Tory right-wing politics (tending to be religious); Democrats/Liberals in the center; and in Europe, Socialists/Labour on the left (with both the center and left tending to pacifism and environmental concerns). | |||||
| 30. Libertarianism (Norm=11) Your Score: 14 | 0 - 6 | 6 - 17 | 17 - 27 | 17 Jan 2011 | |
| Your Score is in the Medium Range You favor some necessary but minimal degree of regulation, of both business and many aspects of individual behavior. You value individual freedoms but not at the expense of public safety and a sensible degree of order. | |||||
| 31. Reactionism (Norm=16) Your Score: 13 | 0 - 11 | 11 - 22 | 22 - 27 | 17 Jan 2011 | |
| Your Score is in the Medium Range You like to think you are a progressive thinker, open to new ideas - but then you may react against movements that threaten your interests directly, whether or not they are based on reason. This scale has fairly high correlation with age. | |||||
| 32. Pacifism (Norm=10) Your Score: 12 | 0 - 5 | 5 - 16 | 16 - 25 | 17 Jan 2011 | |
| Your Score is in the Medium Range You favor the maintenance of military strength to provide an effective deterrence and defense against enemies of the state. You believe that violence is only acceptable in self-defense, and that all means should be applied to preserve natural justice including violence but only as a last resort. | |||||
