Lets take for example my friend Bob, there are many ways to describe someone but mostly there certain characteristics that set us apart and there various combinations is what makes us all different. Bob is a hacker; he spends a lot of time indoors and alone. He is shy, introverted, pensive and even-tempered. He doesn't like people very much and thinks he is smarter then most every else he meets, he has a hard time forming meaningful relationships with people in the "

real" world almost 90% of his friends he has never met face to face. The basis of his friendships is competing. He rarely speaks to any of his family and has severe insomnia, which accounts for the nights he spends in front of a monitor. He is very good at what he does and he knows it, some might even say he has a god complex. He has a never-ending thirst for knowledge and keeps challenging himself to meet his desires. He has no desire to be accepted by the "in" crowd and doesn't believe in institutions governmen!

The phenomenological approach is based on the humanistic principles of psychology; it basically says that our personalities are shaped by our individual perception of the outside world. We are motivated by growth and fulfillment. Bob is motivated by the respect of his peers, although he is not influenced but what is the culturally excepted society he is still a part of a "sub-culture" and needs to prove himself within that scope. Sometimes people focus on what they are missing (defiencincy orientation) as opposed to what they do have (growth orientation), depending on your view it can dictate your happiness with the world you built for yourself. In Bob's case he is constantly focused on what he is missing and that is what keeps him going. He doesn't really stop to focus on the moment. He perceives a world full of warped reality and does his best to create his own.
