     There are two Defense Mechanisms which I use the most. Sublimation, I mostly use it whenever I have either family problems or discussions with my friends. Since i am not a person which likes to get into problems. What I mostly do is, go out and play sports such as; volleyball and basketball or even take care of my younger nephews. I also use Regression a lot, which I don't really like. Normally when having stress related to school, I tend to behave like when I was in High-school. I would like to implement the Intellectualization because I am a bit emotional.
     there are also two Neurotic Needs(NN) which I use the mos. One being the NN to restrict one's life within narrow borders. Out of all my siblings I am the least materialistic; I accept whatever my parents could offer me. Also the NN for self sufficiency and independence. Whenever having family problems I never ask for help, or when doing school assignments. I would want to implement the NN for personal achievement because I get satisfied with the little I achieve or get.
