I’m not so sure self-analysis is bad. I have had no psych classes and I analyze myself fairly frequently. Of course, I can’t do much damage to myself, as I know nothing.

#2 sounds more reasonable.

Self-analysis is bad when it turns out like a hypochondriac self-diagnosing. Frequently, psych students are so eager to put their training to use that they’ll find something in themselves that just HAS to be analyzed, diagnosed, and possibly even treated. In my case, she went to a professional and told him what she wanted him to hear to get a diagnosis, then came back to me and threw it in my face.
