Summary: | 碩士 === 東吳大學 === 心理學系 === 93 === This paper investigates the life experience of a young male chiefly through the self-narrative perspective. Through self-narrative, the findings could be organized into three parts: suppressing melancholia as part of social label, looking back at the transformation of emotions related to family and self-development, and improving self-understanding through the development of closeness in friendship.
The narration starts from the bodily exhaustion brought upon by melancholia, then it looks back at the transformation of emotions related to family and self-development. During the process of narration, ups and downs in intimate relationships and crisscrossing of both action and narration allow me to repeatedly have multiple understanding on the significance of family relationship. They also exert more influence on my view of the role as a friend.
While the content of the paper proceeds, it makes references to the conversations with different social groups. In addition, through the continuous understanding of friendship, I gain the opportunities to see, to tell, and to present, again, the significance of a complicated role between my social circle and family. Hence, I am able to understand the meaning behind the signs brought by melancholia: in addition to leaping over emotional barriers, the desire for affections.
In conclusion, looking back at friendship and intimate relationships in different stages and life experience through narration and practice have applied different level of influence in my perspectives on family relationship and contributed to my interpersonal relationship. Moreover, through reading books related to this subject, I have gained further understanding of the complexity of the context. As a result, the skeleton and the content of this paper were formed.
