personality?

Drawing a personal take to events later in life, the particular core

memories that shape one's personality & identity are the ones most

environment filled with noise because at home, people commonly
raise their voices. It would slip through my adaptive behavior towards
different environments because I was exposed to it, being one of the
most consistent memories lingering discomfort for me. It being too
much for me to handle, it created my personality to be a reserved
person in order to not be a part of the unpleasant noise which
eventually shaped my belief that there is much to understand in quiet

doesn't require much small talk for me to understand and accept other
people.

Q: If you are to come up with a psychological theory with
regards to the Pixar’s Inside Out movie, what would it be and
why? Elaborate the concept of your theory.

I see it as a theory of normalization giving importance

to process one's feelings than ignoring it. That

Throughout the movie, the more Riley suppresses her
feelings, the more confused she gets. The frustration
finally ends when her subconscious tells her to not run
away and face the circumstances around her. There is a
sense of comfort in accompanying sadness, and if one
learns to accept it, the easier it is to see the best ways
on handling adversity.
