You could analyze how you completed each of Erikson's stages and how your completion of each stage contributed to your life not being very interesting. For example, suppose you mastered trust as an infant (and provide a justification for this development), then fell victim to shame and doubt as a toddler (perhaps you struggled with potty-training--this is all theoretical, obviously, although you seem to be doubting the interesting-ness of your life.) Anyhow, during preschool, you exhibited initiative by making friends by yourself. In elementary school, you had difficulty applying yourself to tasks and thus felt inferior. The list goes on.
Of course, your essay would be meaningless without you connecting your completion of each stage with who you have become. For example, you could say that, because you developed shame/doubt as a toddler, you now consider your life uninteresting. This thought in turn affects your behavior, causing you act passively and helplessly. Indeed, your shame and doubt has become a self-fulfilling prophesy. Of course, I'm making this all up.
I hope my advice was helpful! Good luck with your essay!
Your amazing! Thank you so much! Lool you must think I'm so boring though! What I meant about uninteresting was nothing life changing has happened to me by far. Growing up I was lucky enough to get whatever I asked for making it easy for me to continue on with my life. There were no hardships or struggles. Thats what I meant about uninteresting, just thought I would explain myself! Thanks again for your advise!
