Self Smart - Intrapersonal Intelligence
Self Smart involves the
capacity to
understand
oneself and to
understand one’s
feelings,
fears and
motivations.
Self smart is understanding
what you are
and not just
who you are.
Self-Awareness can help
you to assess
situations
objectively and
rationally, without
acting on
biases and
stereotypes.
A person should practice
self-evaluation and
reflection, and also keep a journal to track
their
progress
and development.
Self-improvement only happens once
a person recognizes their
vulnerabilities
and their
misconceptions.
A person should pay
attention to the way they respond to
their
successes as well
as how they respond to their
failures. To
truly
know oneself you have to
educate yourself, and
never stop learning
because
things can change, so it's a
good idea to understand these changes as well as to be
aware of when things do change.
People Smart and
self smart
are closely related.
You and
I.

Core
Self-Evaluations represent a stable
personality trait which
encompasses an individual's subconscious, fundamental
evaluations about
themselves, their own abilities and their own control. People who have
high core
self-evaluations will
think positively of themselves and be
confident in their own abilities. Conversely, people with low
core
self-evaluations will have a negative appraisal of themselves and will
lack
confidence.
Self-Diagnosis is the process of
diagnosing, or identifying,
medical
conditions in oneself. It may be assisted by medical dictionaries, books,
resources on the Internet, past personal experiences, or recognizing
symptoms or medical signs of a condition that a family member previously
had. For internet searching, it helps to know medical terms for the
various signs and symptoms.
Self-Reflection (how you see yourself)

Awareness
Self Psychology is when the effort is made to understand individuals
from within their
subjective
experience via
vicarious
introspection,
basing interpretations on the understanding of the self as the central
agency of the human psyche. Essential to understanding self
psychology are
the concepts of empathy,
self-object, mirroring, idealising, alter ego/twinship
and the tripolar self. Though self psychology also recognizes certain
drives, conflicts, and complexes present in Freudian psychodynamic theory,
these are understood within a different framework. Self psychology was
seen as a major break from traditional psychoanalysis and is considered
the beginnings of the relational approach to
psychoanalysis.
Psychology of Self is the study of either the cognitive, conative or
affective representation of one's
identity, or the
subject of experience. The earliest form of the Self in modern psychology
saw the emergence of two elements,
I and me, with I
referring to the Self as the subjective knower and me referring to the
Self as a subject that is known. The looking glass self is a term used to
describe a theory that people learn about themselves through other people.
In the looking-glass self-proposal, a person visualizes how they appear to
others, how they are judged by others, and how they respond to said
judgments. The person imagines how other people will judge them, and they
then develop a response to the judgment they receive from other people.
Introspection refers to the way a person gathers information about oneself
through mental functions and emotions. While a person might not know why
they are thinking or feeling a certain way, they consciously know what
they are feeling.
Social comparison refers to
the way in which people compare themselves to others. By
observing others,
a person can gauge their work and behaviors as good, bad, or neutral. This
can be either motivational or discouraging to the person depending on who
they are comparing themselves to. The self-perception theory is another
theory in which a person makes inferences about themselves through their
own actions and attitudes. Self-awareness occurs when someone acknowledges
their own personality and behaviors. This can occur in both the private
and public parts of a person's life. Self-esteem describes how a person
evaluates their self. Four factors that contribute to self-esteem are;
reactions from others, comparing a person to others, a person's social
roles, and a person's identification.
Self-knowledge in psychology describes the information that an
individual draws upon when finding an answer to the question "What am I
like?". While seeking to develop the answer to this question,
self-knowledge requires ongoing self-awareness and self-consciousness
(which is not to be confused with consciousness). Young infants and
chimpanzees display some of the traits of self-awareness and
agency/contingency, yet they are not considered as also having
self-consciousness. At some greater level of cognition, however, a
self-conscious component emerges in addition to an increased
self-awareness component, and then it becomes possible to ask "
What
am I like?", and to answer with self-knowledge. Self-knowledge is a
component of the self, or more accurately, the self-concept. It is the
knowledge of one's self and one's properties and the desire to seek such
knowledge that guide the development of the self-concept. Self-knowledge
informs us of our mental representations of ourselves, which contain
attributes that we uniquely pair with ourselves, and theories on whether
these attributes are stable, or dynamic.

Introspection is the
examination or
observation of one's own mental and
emotional processes. Introspection is the examination of one's own
conscious thoughts, feelings and
senses. In
psychology, the process of introspection relies on the observation of
one's
mental state, while in a
spiritual context it may refer to the
examination of one's soul. Introspection is closely related to human
self-reflection and
self-discovery and is
contrasted with
external observation. Introspection generally provides a
privileged access to one's own mental states, not mediated by other
sources of knowledge, so that individual experience of the mind is unique.
Introspection can determine any number of mental states including
sensory,
bodily,
cognitive, emotional and so forth.
An 'introspective' AI finds diversity improves performance. An
artificial intelligence with the ability to look inward and fine tune its
own
neural network performs
better when it chooses diversity over lack of diversity, a new study
finds. The resulting
diverse
neural networks were particularly effective at solving complex tasks.
Our natural neurons exchange electrical impulses according to the
strengths of their
connections. Artificial neural networks create similarly strong
connections by adjusting numerical weights and biases during training
sessions.
Intrapersonal Communication
- (thinking to yourself, talking to yourself, inner-monologue)
Construals are how
individuals
perceive,
comprehend, and
interpret the world
around them, particularly the behavior or action of others towards
themselves. Researchers and theorists within virtually every
sub-discipline of psychology have acknowledged the relevance of a
subjective construal, especially with regards to the concepts of the
false consensus
effect and the fundamental attribution error. There is a difference
between self-construal and construal in a social atmosphere. While
self-construal is a perception of the self, the latter is a
perception of one's
surroundings. Construal plays a crucial role in situations "whenever
people are obliged to venture beyond the information immediately provided
by the direct observation or secondhand report of a stimulus event, in
particular whenever they are obliged to infer additional details of
content, context, or meaning in the actions and outcomes that unfold
around them." In other words, a person is most likely to use construal
when he or she lacks the knowledge to correctly deal with a given
situation.
Temporal Self-Compression
is a hypothesis that proposes that the amount of perceived future
self-improvement or confidence, will be greater between time points closer
to the present than between time points farther in the past and the
future. Past and future selves are compressed as they move away from the
present. A study found that relative to their present self, participants
compressed their past and future selves. Sometimes, we realize things
about ourselves that we need to change in order to be the best version of
ourselves.
Meaning-Making is the process of how people construe,
understand, or
make sense of life events, relationships,
and the self.

I Amaze Myself is a phrase that a
person uses when they are
amazed at an
accomplishment that they were successful in doing. They may also be
proud of themselves for expressing an act
of intelligence. This is because they know that many times before they
made
mistakes,
so they feel happy and fortunate to have not made another mistake. And
knowing that they could have been just lucky, they try not to gain any
false confidence, instead, they look
at this
phenomenon as a learning moment. Why was I so amazing?
Determination - Realization - Actualization - Verification - Validation
Self-Determination Theory is a macro theory of human
motivation and
personality that concerns people's inherent growth
tendencies and innate psychological needs. It is concerned with the
motivation behind choices people make
without external influence and
interference. SDT focuses on the degree to which an
individual's
behavior
is
self-motivated and
self-determined.
Self-Efficacy is an individual's belief in his or her capacity to
execute behaviors necessary to produce specific
performance
attainments. Self-efficacy is an individual's belief in their
capacity to act in the ways
necessary to reach specific
goals. Self-efficacy
is the belief of being able to do something. Students with
higher academic
performance, motivation and persistence use
intrinsic goals rather than extrinsic ones.
Determined.
Self-Realization
is defined as the fulfillment by
oneself
of the possibilities of one's
character or
personality.
It's knowing your
baseline. It's
having the
awareness of one’s
abilities and
goals. It's having the sense of
well-being and
development.
It's
learning from
mistakes and
failures instead of suffering from them. It's
talking
effectively
and
moderating our
responses
effectively. It's
empathizing
accurately. It's always seeking
enlightenment. In
the Indian understanding, self-realization is
liberating knowledge
of the
true Self, either as the permanent undying atman, or as the absence
(sunyata) of such a permanent Self.
Identity.
Self-Actualization is realizing one's capabilities or motivation to
achieve budding ambitions.
Self-Actualizer
is a person who is living creatively and fully using his or her
potentials. A person with an unusual ability to detect the spurious, the
fake, and the dishonest in personality, and in general to judge people
correctly and efficiently. Self-actualizers are efficient perceptions of
reality. Self-actualizers are able to judge situations correctly and
honestly. They are very sensitive to the fake and dishonest, and are free
to see reality 'as it is'. Comfortable acceptance of self, others and
nature. Self-actualizers accept their own human nature with all its flaws.
The shortcomings of others and the contradictions of the human condition
are accepted with humor and tolerance. Reliant on own experiences and
judgment.
Independent, not reliant on culture and environment to form
opinions and views. Spontaneous and natural. True to oneself, rather than
being how others want. Task centering. Most of Maslow's subjects had a
mission to fulfill in life or some task or problem 'beyond' themselves
(instead of outside themselves) to pursue. Humanitarians such as Albert
Schweitzer are considered to have possessed this quality.
Autonomy.
Self-actualizers are free from reliance on external authorities or other
people. They tend to be resourceful and independent. Continued freshness
of appreciation. The self-actualizer seems to constantly renew
appreciation of life's basic goods. A sunset or a flower will be
experienced as intensely time after time as it was at first. There is an
"innocence of vision", like that of an artist or child. Profound
interpersonal relationships. The interpersonal relationships of
self-actualizers are marked by deep loving bonds.
Comfort with solitude.
Despite their satisfying relationships with others, self-actualizing
people value solitude and are comfortable being alone. Non-hostile sense
of humor. This refers to the ability to laugh at oneself. Peak
experiences. All of Maslow's subjects reported the frequent occurrence of
peak experiences (temporary moments of self-actualization). These
occasions were marked by feelings of ecstasy, harmony, and deep meaning.
Self-actualizers reported feeling at one with the universe, stronger and
calmer than ever before, filled with light, beauty, goodness, and so
forth. Socially compassionate. Possessing humanity. Few friends. Few close
intimate friends rather than many superficial relationships. According to
Maslow, the self-actualizers possess "Gemeinschaftsgefühl", which refers
to "social interest, community feeling, or a sense of oneness with all
humanity." Self-actualization represents the highest level of
psychological development where the "actualization" of full personal
potential is achieved. In Maslow's theory, this occurs only after basic
and mental needs have been fulfilled. The desire for self-fulfillment, the
full realization of one's potential" and of one's "
true self".
Self Actualization (youtube).
Self-Schema refers to the
beliefs and
thoughts people
have about themselves in order to
organize
information about the self. Self-schemas are
generalizations
about the self that are
abstracted from past
experiences
and acting in a present situation. Self-schema refers to a long lasting
and stable set of
memories
that
summarize a
person's beliefs, experiences and generalizations about the self, in
specific behavioral domains. A person may have a self-schema based on any
aspect of themselves as a person, including
physical characteristics or
body image,
personality traits and interests, as long as they consider that aspect of
their self to be important to their own self-definition. When someone has
a schema about themselves they hyper focus on a trait about themselves and
believe what they say to themselves about that specific trait. A self
schema can be good or bad depending on what that person talks to
themselves about and what kind of tone they talk to themselves with.
Self-Verification Theory is a
social psychological theory
that asserts
people want to be known and understood by others according to
their firmly held beliefs and feelings about themselves, that is
self-views (including self-concepts and
self-esteem). A competing theory
to self-verification is self-enhancement or the drive for
positive
evaluations.
People want recognition,
acceptance, approval,
attention,
appreciated, people want to
feel important and
feel valuable and
feel smart and
feel secure,
and
feel loved. -
Validation -
Reality Check.
Seeking Validation from Others is
reasonable for anyone who wants their ideas, choices, achievements, or
opinions validated by those around them. After all, what is the first
thing we do as children when we
accomplish something? We look to our
parents for
recognition or validation that we did a good thing.
Validation is the
"recognition and
acceptance" of someone else's experience. It is not
about agreeing with someone or accepting their thoughts as your own; it is
about being able to accept these thoughts and experiences as being valid.
Validation is part of being interdependent and relying on the
feedback
and encouragement of others around us. Even very independent people still
need
validation
in some aspects of their life; however, they are also able to accept their
own self-validation if they do not get it from someone else. The problem
arises when self-validation is not possible or is not valued. In other
words, if an individual puts the opinion, approval, or recognition of
someone else over their own feelings, they will need that external, other
person's validation on an ongoing basis.
Being Loved.
Self-Validation is the ability to
recognize
and acknowledge your own internal experience.

Self-Affirmation
is a psychological theory that focuses on how individuals adapt to
information or experiences that are threatening to their self-concept. Self-affirmation theory contends that if individuals reflect on
values that are
personally relevant to them, they are less likely to
experience distress and react defensively when confronted with information
that contradicts or
threatens their sense of self. Experimental
investigations of self-affirmation theory suggest that self-affirmation
can help individuals cope with threat or stress and that it might be
beneficial for improving academic performance, health, and reducing
defensiveness.
Social Networks.
Soul Searching is an honest
evaluation of your feelings and motives or a deep and anxious
consideration of one's emotions and motives, or of the correctness of a
course of action. Soul searching is when you take the time to meditate and
think about the
purpose of your life and what is
most important to you. Involving or expressing deep consideration.
Take a Long Hard Look at Yourself

memory gaps more severe than could be explained by ordinary forgetfulness.
The personality states alternately influence a person's behavior,
thoughts, perceptions, sensorimotor function, memory, identity, emotions,
and body representation; however, presentations of the disorder can vary
widely.

Idiosyncrasy means
odd habit. The term is often used to
express eccentricity or peculiarity. A synonym may be "quirk".
Eccentricity refers to unusual or
odd behavior on the part
of an
individual. This behavior would typically be perceived as unusual or
unnecessary, without being demonstrably maladaptive. Eccentricity is
contrasted with "normal"
behavior, the nearly universal means by which
individuals in society solve given problems and pursue certain priorities
in everyday life. People who consistently display benignly eccentric
behavior are labeled as "eccentrics".
Challenging Behavior is defined as culturally
abnormal
behaviors of such intensity, frequency or duration that the
physical safety of the person or others is placed in serious jeopardy, or
behavior which is likely to seriously limit or deny access to the use of
ordinary community facilities. Ordinarily we would expect the person to
have shown the pattern of behavior that presents such a challenge to
services for a considerable period of time. Severely challenging behavior
is not a transient phenomenon. Challenging behavior is most often,
though not exclusively exhibited by individuals with learning
developmental disabilities, individuals with dementia or other mental
health needs, such as strokes or acquired
brain injuries, individuals with
psychosis and by children, although such behaviors can be displayed by
any person.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy
is a therapy designed to help people suffering from mood
disorders as well as those who need to change patterns of behavior that
are not helpful, such as
self-harm, suicidal ideation, and
substance
abuse. This approach works towards helping people increase their
emotional and cognitive regulation by learning about the triggers that
lead to reactive states and helping to assess which
coping skills to apply
in the sequence of events, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to help avoid
undesired reactions. DBT assumes that people are doing their best but lack
the skills needed to succeed, or are influenced by positive or negative
reinforcement that interferes with their ability to function
appropriately.

Archetype
is a statement,
pattern of behavior, or prototype (model) which other
statements, patterns of behavior, and objects copy or emulate. (Frequently
used informal synonyms for this usage include "standard example", "basic
example", and the longer form "archetypal example". Mathematical
archetypes often appear as "canonical examples"). A Platonic philosophical
idea referring to pure forms which embody the fundamental characteristics
of a thing in Platonism. A collectively-inherited unconscious idea,
pattern of thought, image, etc., that is universally present in individual
psyches, as in Jungian psychology. A constantly recurring symbol or motif
in literature, painting, or mythology (this usage of the term draws from
both comparative anthropology and from Jungian archetypal theory). In
various seemingly unrelated cases in classic storytelling, media, etc.,
characters or ideas sharing similar traits recur.
Personality is Not Fixed
Behavior is not
fixed, even
human nature is not
100% fixed, everyone can
adapt and
change behaviors if needed, the
brain is plastic, it has
to be in order to adapt to new environments and to evolve. When we learn
more about ourselves and our world, we change and
improve, as we have
since the beginning.
It's
amazing what learning can do, especially learning
the right things in the right way and
at the right times.
Scientists say you can change your personality. But it takes
persistent
intervention or
mindfulness. Research has found that a relatively small number of
personality traits can account for most of the ways in which people differ
from one another. Thus, they are related to a wide range of important life
outcomes. These traits are also relatively stable, but
changeable with
effort and good timing. This combination -- broad and enduring, yet
changeable -- makes them particularly promising targets for large-scale
interventions. Both neuroticism and conscientiousness, for example, may
represent good intervention targets in young adulthood. And certain
interventions -- especially those that require persistence and long-term
commitment -- may be more effective among conscientious, emotionally
stable people. It is also important to consider motivational factors, as
success is more likely if people are motivated and think change is
feasible, researchers said.

Cognitive Flexibility is the ability to
adapt our behavior and thinking in response to the environment. When
children are asked to think about multiple concepts simultaneously or
change their approach to solving a problem, they need to demonstrate
flexible thinking.
Creativity.
Flexibility is a
personality trait that
describes the extent to which a person can
cope with changes in
circumstances and think about problems and tasks in novel,
creative ways.
This trait comes into play when stressors or unexpected events occur,
requiring that a person change their stance, outlook, or commitment. the
ability to adapt to situational demands,
balance life demands, and commit
to behaviors.
Are personalities some type of hereditary trait? Or maybe our
personalities are some kind of an evolutionary adaptation in the
DNA that causes each of us to have unique personalities so that
it would guarantee the survival of our species, because
different personalities sometimes do different things. But It
doesn't mean that your personality will always stay completely
the same.
Or does it mean that you will never understand your personality.
Or does it mean that you will never learn how to modify, change
or control your personality. Your personality is not a hard
wired program, it's software. And
software
can be updated.
Plasticity.
We have to be extremely careful with
labels, especially the
labels we give to ourselves.
"When no one is there to explain things to you, or explain how
to perceive and understand things, then you will understand them in your own unique way."
Everyone has distinct
personality traits. And we sometimes
process things differently. But shouldn't our processes be
similar if we all learned similar things and have similar goals?
Is it just that some people take a different approach to things?
You would still have to be aware of your approach to a problem
and be able to compare the differences between yours and someone
else's approach to a problem. Someone just saying " I'm shy "
does not explain the reason why that person did not take a
particular action.
Shyness
should not be a factor in your
decision making. Only knowledge, information and experience
should be used in decision making, not your personal perception
of what shyness is. You shouldn't apply shyness to problem
solving.
Shyness is not the only reason why you do things or don't do
things, there are many reasons why, so what are they? I didn't do it
because I was doing something else, or I knew that it was not necessary or
relevant so I did something else, or I had other ideas, or I did not feel
good and was not up to the task. There are many reasons, and the more
reasons that you are aware of, the more you can understand your actions.
It's how you process the world, and how you output that information, which
can have unique circumstances that require unique actions, so don't worry
about
mistakes
or misunderstandings, learning is a lifelong journey.
Development - Progress
Personal Development covers
activities that improve
self-awareness and
identity, develop talents and
potential, build human capital
and facilitate
employability,
enhance the
quality of life and contribute to the
realization of dreams
and aspirations. Personal
development takes place over the course of a
person's entire life as the person
continually acquires
knowledge and information that allows them to accurately
understand themselves and
the world around
them. This is not just about
self-help, this
concept involves formal and informal activities for
developing others in roles such as
teacher, guide,
counselor, manager,
life coach or
mentor. When personal development takes place in the context of
institutions, it refers to the methods,
programs, tools,
techniques, and
assessment systems that support
human development at the individual level in organizations. Personal
development may include the following activities: Improving
self-awareness. Improving
self-knowledge.

Personality Development
is the relatively enduring
pattern of thoughts, feelings, and
behaviors
that distinguish individuals from one another. The dominant view in the
field of personality psychology today holds that
personality emerges early
and
continues to change in meaningful ways throughout the lifespan.
Evidence from large-scale, long-term studies has supported this
perspective. Adult personality traits are believed to have a basis in
infant
temperament, meaning that individual differences in
disposition and
behavior appear early in life, possibly even before language or
conscious
self-representation develop. The Five Factor Model of personality has been
found to map onto dimensions of childhood temperament, suggesting that
individual differences in levels of the “big five” personality traits
(neuroticism, extraversion, openness to experience, agreeableness, and
conscientiousness) are present from
young ages.
There is always something
that you can do to improve yourself in some way. You should always have at
least one goal related to
self improvement. You should always be looking to learn something new,
something that would add to your skills, or something that would give you
valuable knowledge that would help to increase your potential. You should
know your baseline and know when to
reboot.
Developmental Psychology is the scientific study of how and
why human
beings change over the course of their life. Developmental
psychology looks at how thinking, feeling, and behavior
change throughout a person's life. A
significant proportion of theories within this discipline focus upon
development during childhood, as this is the period during an individual's
lifespan when the most change occurs.
Adult Development encompasses the
changes that occur in biological and
psychological domains of human life from the end of
adolescence until
the end of one's life. These changes may be gradual or rapid, and can
reflect positive, negative, or no change from previous levels of
functioning. Changes occur at the cellular level and are partially
explained by biological theories of adult development and
aging. Biological changes
influence psychological and interpersonal/
social
developmental changes, which are often described by stage theories of
human development. Stage theories typically focus on “age-appropriate”
developmental tasks to be achieved at each stage. Erik Erikson and Carl
Jung proposed stage theories of human development that encompass the
entire life span, and emphasized the potential for
positive change
very late in life.

Even after 13 years of educating myself

Development of the Human Body is the process of growth to
maturity. The
process begins with
fertilization, where an egg released from the ovary of a female is
penetrated by a sperm cell from a male. The resulting zygote develops
through mitosis and cell differentiation, and the resulting embryo then
implants in the uterus, where the embryo continues development through a
fetal stage until birth. Further growth and development continues after
birth, and includes both physical and psychological development,
influenced by genetic, hormonal, environmental and other factors. This
continues throughout life: through
childhood and adolescence
into adulthood.
Erikson's Stages of Psychosocial Development is a comprehensive
psychoanalytic theory that identifies a series of
eight stages that a
healthy developing individual should pass through from infancy to late
adulthood. Erikson's stage theory characterizes an individual advancing
through the eight life stages as a function of negotiating their
biological and sociocultural forces. Each stage is characterized by a
psychosocial crisis of these two conflicting forces. If an individual does
indeed successfully reconcile these forces (favoring the first mentioned
attribute in the crisis), they emerge from the stage with the
corresponding virtue. For example, if an infant enters into the toddler
stage (autonomy vs. shame and doubt) with more trust than mistrust, they
carry the virtue of hope into the remaining life stages. The challenges of
stages not successfully completed may be expected to return as problems in
the future. However, mastery of a stage is not required to advance to the
next stage. The outcome of one stage is not permanent and can be modified
by later experiences.
Milestones.
End of History illusion is a psychological
illusion in which
individuals of all ages believe that they have
experienced significant
personal growth and changes in tastes up to the present moment, but will
not substantially
grow
or
mature
in the future. Despite recognizing that their perceptions have evolved,
individuals predict that their perceptions will remain roughly the same in
the future. The illusion is based on the fact that at any given
developmental stage, an individual can observe a relatively low level of
maturity in previous stages. The phenomenon affects teenagers, middle-aged
individuals, and seniors. In general, people tend to see significant
changes in
hindsight, but fail to predict that these changes will
continue. For example, a 20-year-old's impression of how great a change
they will undergo in the next ten years will not be as extreme as a
30-year-old's recollection of the changes they underwent between the ages
of 20 and 30. The same phenomenon is true for people of any age. The
reason for the illusion has not been studied, although researchers
speculate that a resistance or fear of change may be causal.
Flexibility in Personality is the extent to which a person can
cope with
changes in circumstances and think about problems and tasks in novel,
creative ways. This trait is used when
stressors
or unexpected events occur, requiring a person to change their stance,
outlook, or commitment. Flexible personality should not be confused with
cognitive flexibility, which is the ability to switch between two
concepts, as well as simultaneously think about multiple concepts.
Researchers of cognitive flexibility describe cognitive flexibility as the
ability to switch one’s thinking and attention between tasks. Flexibility,
or psychological flexibility as it is sometimes referred to, is the
ability to adapt to situational demands, balance life demands, and commit
to behaviors.
Being free to
develop your own
personality is extremely important.
"Who you want to be
is not a destination, who you want to be is a journey. Once you have
obtained the good qualities that make you who you are, there will always
be you looking for more ways to be even better than the person you are
now."
You are only the knowledge and information that you have
acquired and learned in your
life and how you
process that knowledge and information. You can not be anything more than
what you know, except, when you learn more than what you currently know,
you can become more than what you knew before. To stop learning and to
stop developing, is to stop life itself and experience a slow and painful
death, which billions of humans are now experiencing in 2020.
Be yourself,
but how do you know that you are
truly being
honest? "
Don't Fake it ’til you make it."

Identity is the unique identity of a person over time, where
as a person at one time and a person at another time can be said to be the
same person, persisting through time. Certain identifiable characterizes
and
personality traits seem to stay the same
over time. Some people
don't change that much and they stay the same person they have always
been their entire life. But people can
change
and do change. People can either
improve and
progress and become a better person, or they can devolve and become a bad
version of themselves.
Personal
Identity is the relation each thing bears only to itself. So accurate

Identity Formation or identity

Identity Shift refers to a deliberate
transformation of one's
self-perception and behavior in response to

Identity Performance is a concept that holds that "identity" can be a
project or a conscious effort or action taken to
present oneself in social interactions.
This is based on the definition of identity as an ongoing process of
self-definition and the definitions of the
self by others, which emerge from interaction with others. The idea is
that there are identities that are performed to achieve several objectives
such as assimilation and acculturation, among others.

Who Are You is a question that you should ask yourself everyday. You
need to
remind yourself of who you are

yourself and sharpening yourself. You can take break from yourself or lose
yourself from time to time, but don't forget yourself. Life can become
busy and overwhelming at times, but this is why you need to
reconnect with your core self. A lot
of times you may not notice yourself, and you may not notice how well you
handled a particular situation. It's not just the good things that you do,
but it's also the bad things you did not do. This is where your true power
resides, you are the guardian angle of your soul. This is not your alter
ego, this is
the real you, the person you would be as
if it were the last day on earth.

Philosophy of Self examines the idea of the self at a conceptual
level. Many different ideas on what constitutes self have been proposed,
including the self being an activity, the self being
independent of the senses, the bundle
theory of the self, the self as a narrative center of gravity, and the
self as a syntactic construct rather than an entity. The self (or its
non-existence) is also an important concept in
Eastern philosophy, including
Buddhist philosophy.
Psychology of Self is the study of either the
cognitive,
conative or affective representation of one's identity or the subject of
experience. The earliest formulation of the self in modern psychology
derived from the distinction between the self as I, the subjective knower,
and the self as Me, the object that is known.
Consciousness.
Refining
is the process of removing impurities. Improve or perfect by pruning or
polishing. To make more complex, intricate, or rich. To make more precise
or increase the discriminatory powers of an ability.
Sharpening is to make one's senses more
acute and precise. Demonstrating an ability to recognize things or draw
fine distinctions. To put things into focus and be clearly defined, like
an image.
"He who defines himself, can't know who he really is."

Te Ching (wiki)
Anattā
refers to the doctrine of "
non-self" – that
no unchanging, permanent self or
essence
can be found in any phenomenon. It describes a strategy to attain
non-attachment
by recognizing everything as
impermanent, while staying silent on the ultimate existence of an
unchanging essence. Buddha's descriptions
of non-self in early Buddhist texts do not deny that there is a self or
deny the existence of the
soul. Originally
a "not-self" teaching developed into a "no-self" teaching in later
Buddhist thought. They did not deny that there is a self, stating that the
five aggregates that are described as not self are not descriptions of a
human being but descriptions of the
human
experience.
Skandha
are the five material and mental factors that take part in the rise of
craving and clinging. Skandhas (Sanskrit) or khandhas means "heaps,
aggregates, collections, groupings. They are also explained as the five
factors that constitute and explain a sentient being's person and
personality, but this is a later interpretation in response to
Sarvāstivādin essentialism. The 14th Dalai Lama subscribes to this
interpretation. The five aggregates or heaps of clinging are: Form (or
material image, impression) (rupa) - Sensations (or feelings, received
from form) (vedana) - Perceptions (samjna) - Mental activity or formations
(sankhara) - Consciousness (vijnana).
Self-Concept is a collection of
beliefs about oneself
that includes elements such as academic performance, gender roles,
sexuality, and racial identity. Generally, self-concept embodies the
answer to "
Who am I?". (also called self-construction, self-identity,
self-perspective or self-structure). Self-concept is distinguishable from
Self Awareness, which refers to the extent to which
self-knowledge is defined,
consistent, and currently applicable to one's
attitudes and
dispositions.
Self-concept also differs from
self-esteem: self-concept is a cognitive or
descriptive component of one's self (e.g. "I am a fast runner"), while
self-esteem is evaluative and opinionated (e.g. "I feel good about being a
fast runner"). Self-concept is made up of one's self-schemas, and
interacts with
self-esteem, self-knowledge,
and the social self to form the self as whole. It includes the past,
present, and future selves, where future selves (or possible selves)
represent individuals' ideas of what they might become, what they would
like to become, or what they are afraid of becoming. Possible selves may
function as incentives for certain behavior. The perception people have
about their past or future selves is related to the
perception of their
current selves. The temporal self-appraisal theory argues that people have
a tendency to maintain a
positive self-evaluation by distancing themselves
from their
negative self and paying more attention to their positive one.
In addition, people have a tendency to perceive the past self less
favorably (e.g. "I'm better than I used to be") and the future self more
positively (e.g. "I will be better
than I am now").
Identity
Formation also known as individuation, is the development of
the distinct personality of an individual regarded as a persisting entity
(known as personal continuity) in a particular stage of life in which
individual characteristics are possessed and by which a person is
recognized or known (such as the establishment of a reputation). This
process defines individuals to others and themselves. Pieces of the
person's actual identity include a sense of continuity, a sense of
uniqueness from others, and a sense of affiliation. Identity formation
leads to a number of issues of personal identity and an identity where the
individual has some sort of comprehension of themselves as a discrete and
separate entity. This may be through individuation whereby the
undifferentiated individual tends to become unique, or undergoes stages
through which differentiated facets of a person's life tend toward
becoming a more indivisible whole.
Internalization has different definitions depending on the
field that the term is used in. Internalization is the opposite of
externalization. Generally, internalization describes the psychological
outcome of a conscious mind
reasoning about a specific subject; the
subject is internalized, and the consideration of the subject is internal.
Internalization of ideals might take place following religious conversion,
or in the process of, more generally,
moral conversion. Internalization is
directly associated with learning within an organism (or business) and
recalling what has been learned.
Character Structure
is a system of secondary traits that are manifested in the specific ways
that an individual relates and reacts to others, to various kinds of
stimuli, and to the environment. A child whose nurture and/or education
cause them to have conflict between legitimate feelings, living in a
illogical environment and interacting with adults who do not take the
long-term interests of the child to heart will be more likely to form
these secondary traits. In this manner the child blocks the unwanted
emotional reaction that would have normally occurred. Although this may
serve the child well while in that dysfunctional environment, it may also
cause the child to react in inappropriate ways, by developing alternate
ways in which the energy compulsively surfaces, ways damaging to his or
her own interests, when interacting with people in a completely
independent environment. Major trauma that occurs later in life, even in
adulthood, can sometimes have a profound effect on character. See
post-traumatic stress disorder. However, character may also develop in a
positive way according to how the individual meets the psychosocial
challenges of the life cycle (Erikson).
Style of Life one of several constructs describing the
dynamics of the
personality. It reflects the individual's unique,
unconscious, and
repetitive way of responding to (or avoiding) the main
tasks of living: friendship, love, and work. This style, rooted in a
childhood prototype, remains consistent throughout life, unless it is
changed through depth psychotherapy.
If I
were you I wouldn't be me. So if I were you, this is what I would
do, I would be myself for who else could I be? I can give you advice and
also help you, but that would be we, and not I or you.
I am not you and you are not me. We are us and we are
all part of the same big family, called humans. I am no one and no one is
me. You are me and I am you. And nothing else matters unless you matter,
and nothing else matters unless we matter. We are the same or we are
nothing. For anyone to live,
we need everyone.
And everyone is created from two people. This means that no one came here
alone, and no one will leave here alone. And if you leave, I will not be
alone, because I will find you, because....(start from the first

Ego
Precuneus is involved with
episodic
memory,
visuospatial processing,
reflections upon self, and aspects of
consciousness. Anterior precuneus or aPCu in the brain plays a
critical role in forming our physical sense of self or “I”. Precuneus is
the portion of the
superior
parietal lobule on the medial surface of each brain hemisphere. It is
located in front of the cuneus (the upper portion of the occipital lobe).
The precuneus is bounded in front by the marginal branch of the cingulate
sulcus, at the rear by the parieto-occipital sulcus, and underneath by the
subparietal sulcus. The location of the precuneus makes it difficult to
study. Furthermore, it is rarely subject to isolated injury due to
strokes, or trauma such as gunshot wounds. This has resulted in it being
"one of the less accurately mapped areas of the whole cortical surface".
The precuneus is located on the inside between the two cerebral
hemispheres in the rear region between the
somatosensory cortex and
forward of the cuneus (which contains the visual cortex). It is above the
posterior cingulate. Following Korbinian Brodmann it has traditionally
been considered a homogeneous structure and with limited distinction
between it and the neighboring posterior cingulate area. Brodmann mapped
it as the medial continuation of lateral parietal area 7.
Me is an objective form of "I".
I refers to the
speaker
or writer. Used of a
single unit or thing;
not two or more.
Myself is me in person. An
emphatic form of "me" or a reflexive form of "me".
Reflexive in grammar is referring back to itself. A personal
pronoun compounded with -self to show the agent's action affects the
agent.
Self is your
consciousness of your own identity.
A person considered as a unique individual.
Being is an extremely broad concept encompassing objective
and subjective features of reality and existence. Anything that partakes
in being is also called a "being", though often this use is limited to
entities that have subjectivity (as in the expression "human being"). So
broad a notion has, inevitably, been elusive and controversial in the
history of philosophy, beginning in western philosophy with attempts among
the pre-Socratics to deploy it intelligibly.
Every person who has ever lived has a
mind
of their own. No matter how much you agree with someone, that
person still has a mind of their own.
No two minds
are exactly alike. Individuality is reality. And this goes way
beyond variety, this is normality. This is why empathy and compassion is
so important. If we could not imagine or visualize other possibilities, we
would not be human. This is another good reason why improving education is
so extremely important. People have to learn to be human. Just because you
were born a human, this does not mean that you will remain naturally
humane and retain your human nature. Even though human nature is
instinctual, this doesn't mean that an instinct can't be lost if a person
disconnects from their human nature because of bad experiences or from bad
information. Our ability to adapt is being misused. Our minds are born
with plasticity, but brain plasticity was not meant for some stranger to
mold peoples minds like a plastic toy into an ideology that is based on
fantasy. Ignorance kills millions of humans everyday and destroys millions
of acres of our environment every year. And this slow death and decay will
continue to increase. Meaning we already have one foot in the grave, so
one more unfortunate step will mean that its all over. But there is hope.
We can improve education and improve our media outlets so that we can
fully educate people and fully inform every human being on the planet.
This would unleash the full potential of every human being. Thus we can
remove that one foot that we have in the grave and start moving towards
building our future. The world is in our hands. But most people are blind
and can't see that life is slipping through their fingers. Knowledge is
power. The great awakening is ours to
uphold. I would say "we got
this", but I don't want to ruin the surprise or give people a false hope.
We have lots of work to do. We have to earn our future. Prayers are not
enough. We must do, and do what is right and do what is good. Human
intelligence will be awakened, and the entire universe will know it, for
our vibration is love, and love has no bounds.
My Name - Legal Person
Person is a being, such
as a
human, that has certain capacities or
attributes such as reason,
morality,
consciousness or
self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of
social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal
responsibility. The defining features of
personhood and consequently
what makes a person count as a person differ widely among cultures and
contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being
count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about
personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person
that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person
at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time
despite any intervening changes. The common plural of "person", "people",
is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a
people"). The plural "persons" is often used in philosophical and legal
writing.
Individual is a person or a specific object. Individuality
(or selfhood) is the state or quality of
being an individual; particularly
of being a person separate from other persons and possessing his or her
own needs or goals. The exact definition of an individual is important in
the fields of biology,
law, and philosophy.

Legal Person
is any person or any
legal entity
that can do the things an everyday person can usually do in law – such as
enter into contracts, sue and be sued, own property, and so on. The reason
for the term "legal person" is that some legal persons are not people:
companies and
corporations are "persons"
legally speaking (they can legally do most of the things an ordinary
person can do), but
they are clearly not people
in the ordinary sense. There are therefore two kinds of legal entities:
human and
non-human. In law, a human person
is called a natural person (sometimes also a physical person), and a
non-human person is called a
juridical person (sometimes also a juridic,
juristic, artificial, legal, or fictitious person, Latin: persona ficta).
Juridical persons are entities such as corporations, firms (in some
jurisdictions), and many government agencies. They are treated in law as
if they were persons. While natural persons acquire legal personality
"naturally", simply by being born (or before that, in some jurisdictions),
juridical persons must have legal personality conferred on them by some
"unnatural", legal process, and it is for this reason that they are
sometimes called "artificial" persons. In the most common case
(incorporating a business), legal personality is usually acquired by
registration with a government agency set up for the purpose. In other
cases it may be by primary legislation: an example is the Charity
Commission in the UK. As legal personality is a prerequisite to legal
capacity (the ability of any legal person to amend (enter into, transfer,
etc.) rights and obligations), it is a prerequisite for an international
organization to be able to sign international treaties in its own name.
The term "legal person" can be ambiguous because it is often used as a
synonym of terms that refer only to non-human legal entities, specifically
in contradistinction to "natural person".
Natural Person
is a person who has its own
legal personality that
is an individual human being, as opposed to a legal person, which may be a
private (i.e., business entity or non-governmental organization) or public
(i.e., government) organization. Historically, a human being was not
necessarily a natural person in some jurisdictions where slavery existed
(subject of a property right) rather than a person. In many cases,
fundamental
human rights are implicitly granted only to natural persons.
For example, the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution,
which states a person cannot be denied the right to vote based on their
biological sex, or Section Fifteen of the Canadian Charter of Rights and
Freedoms, which guarantees equality rights, apply to natural persons only.
Another example of the distinction between natural and legal persons is
that a natural person can hold public office, but a corporation cannot. A
corporation or non-governmental organization can, however, file a lawsuit
or own property as a legal person.
Citizen.
Name is a language unit by which a
person
or thing is known and can be
identified
by some
identifying
characteristic.
Personal Name or
full name the set of names by which an individual is
known and that can be recited as a word-group, with the understanding
that, taken together, they all relate to that one individual. In many
cultures, the term is synonymous with the birth and legal names of the
individual. In Western culture, nearly all individuals possess at least
one given name (also known as a first name, personal name[citation
needed], forename, or Christian name), together with a surname (also known
as a last name, or family name)—respectively, the Thomas and Jefferson in
Thomas Jefferson—the latter to indicate that the individual belongs to a
family, a tribe, or a clan. Where there are two or more given names,
typically only one (in English-speaking cultures usually the first) is
used in normal speech. Some cultures, including Western, also add (or once
added) patronymics or matronymics, for instance, as a middle name as with Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (whose father's given name was Ilya), or as a
last name as with Björk Guðmundsdóttir (whose father was named Guðmund) or
Heiðar Helguson (whose mother was named Helga). Similar concepts are
present in Eastern cultures. However, in less urbanized areas of the
world, many people are known by a single name, and so are said to be
mononymous. Still other cultures lack the concept of specific, fixed names
designating people, either individually or collectively. Certain isolated
tribes, such as the Machiguenga of the Amazon, do not use personal names.
A person's full name usually identifies that person for legal and
administrative purposes, although it may not be the name by which the
person is commonly known; some people use only a portion of their full
name, or are known by titles, nicknames, pseudonyms or other formal or
informal designations. It is nearly universal for people to have names;
the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child declares that a
child has the right to a name from birth.
Given Name is a
part of a person's personal name. It identifies a specific person, and
differentiates that person from other members of a group, such as a family
or clan, with whom that person shares a common surname. The term given
name refers to the fact that the name usually is bestowed upon a person,
normally given to a child by its parents at or near the time of birth.
This contrasts with a surname (also known as a family name, last name, or
gentile name), which is normally inherited, and shared with other members
of the child's immediate family.

Name.
Surname is a name
added to a given name. In many cases, a surname is a
family name and many
dictionaries define "surname" as a synonym of "family name". In the
English-speaking world, it is commonly synonymous with last name because
it is usually placed at the end of a person's given name there.
Mononymous
Person is an individual who is known and
addressed by a single name, or mononym. In some cases, that name
has been selected by the individual, who may have originally been given a
polynym ("multiple name"). In other cases,
it has been determined by the custom of the land or by some interested
segment. In the case of historical figures, it may be the only one of the
individual's names that has survived and is still known today. Many
Afghans have no surname; it is also common to have no surname in Bhutan,
Indonesia, Myanmar, and the south of India.

Scientific Names are like peoples
names, there's' a lot of history and lineage beyond
the name. It's not just a daisy, it's a flower, and the flower has
relatives, but they also have friends who are not related, but share
similarities. A word in your description does not define who you are.
You define you, you define who you are. And when
people share your description that you have of yourself, then we have
community, we have understanding, and we have communication.
Nomenclature is a
system of names or
terms, or the rules for forming these terms in a particular field of arts
or sciences. Naming "things" is a part of general human communication
using words and language: it is an aspect of everyday taxonomy as people
distinguish the objects of their experience, together with their
similarities and differences, which observers
identify,
name and classify. The use of names, as the many different kinds of nouns
embedded in different languages, connects nomenclature to theoretical
linguistics, while the way humans mentally structure the world in relation
to word meanings and experience relates to the philosophy of language.
Binomial Nomenclature is a formal
system of
naming species of living things by giving each a name composed of
two parts, both of which use Latin grammatical forms, although they can be
based on words from other languages.
Botanical Name is a formal
scientific name
conforming to the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and
plants.
Terminology is a group of specialized words and respective meanings in
a particular field, and also the study of such terms and their use; the
latter
meaning is also
known as terminology science. A term is a word, compound word, or
multi-word expression that in specific contexts is given specific
meanings—these may deviate from the
meanings the same words
have in other
contexts and
in everyday language. Terminology is a discipline that studies, among
other things, the development of such terms and their interrelationships
within a specialized domain. Terminology differs from lexicography, as it
involves the study of concepts, conceptual systems and their
labels (terms), whereas
lexicography studies words and their meanings.
Onomastics is the study of the
etymology, history, and use

Being Yourself - Authentic True Self
Authentic You is your
genuine true self and
the real you. It's the best person that you can be. You're
not being false
in anyway and you're not copying or
mimicking others, and you're
not
pretending to be someone your not. It's just you at your best, being the person that
you can count on, the
person who's level headed, aware and in control.
Authentic you is the best of who you are right now, but not the best that
you will be tomorrow.
Expand
your mind
and
develop.
Authenticity in philosophy is the degree to which an individual's
actions are in
agreement with their beliefs and desires, despite external
pressures; the
conscious self is seen as coming to terms with being in a
material world and with encountering
external forces, pressures, and
influences which are very different from, and other than, itself. A lack
of
authenticity is considered in existentialism to be
bad faith, or being
two faced.
Being yourself and
feeling
comfortable around
friends
and family is really nice. But sometimes when you can act any way you
want with friends, you don't always
listen to your friends the
way you should. Sometimes you're so comfortable with being yourself, that
you feel that
you're by yourself, and you end up
not
paying attention to the people you care about. And the scary
part is, if everyone is doing this, then nobody is really paying
attention to anyone. It's like
everyone is in their own little
world. We need to learn to balance our
internal listening with
our
external listening. One cannot exist without the other. Make
it a point in every interaction that you have with someone, to
just listen. Take a moment every so often and just
listen to the
external world. There is a lot of communication going on in the
world that we are not paying attention to. We need to connect,
and we need to
connect
more often.

True Self describes a sense of self based on spontaneous
authentic experience, and a feeling of being alive, having a real self.
False Self describes a defensive facade—one which in extreme cases
could leave its holders lacking spontaneity and
feeling dead and empty,
behind a mere appearance of being real. To maintain their self-esteem, and
protect their vulnerable true selves, narcissists need to control others'
behavior – particularly that of their children seen as extensions of
themselves.

Act Natural, What's Natural? Act
Normal. What's Normal? Being yourself is not easy, especially when you're always
learning and maturing. So how can you be yourself when yourself
is not totally defined just yet? How can you be yourself when being yourself
is a lie? Being yourself is not who you are when you're
still learning and growing. But this is not to say that there's
always parts of yourself that never seem to fade, a part of
your personality
that you either enjoy, or have adapted too, or have excepted.
This does not mean that you can't control your personality, it's
more like you have grown accustom to it, like a habit. But it's
hard to control something that you are not always aware of, and
that is the key,
Awareness. Awareness needs to have a
system
check, a default program, a series of questions that make
you aware that you are out of your zone and in a situation that
requires different processes and a different understanding,
where you need to put your
Ego on hold. You may feel obliged or obligated to do things
with your friends, but that does not mean sacrifice, it should
only mean a temporary change of plans, and not a reason to be
stupid or disrespectable towards yourself or others. And this
change has to feel natural, you want to be flexible, but not to
the point of breaking. You don't want to do ignorant actions
just to fit in, but you don't want to ignore
Adventure or a chance to explore, unless you feel there's a
better time and place, so don't be afraid to stop, but also
don't feel pressured either, ask questions. And if you can't get
the answers that you need, then wait till the answers are
available. This is the only time does not mean that this is your
only choice or option.
Social
Influences.
When I was in California in 1980 it
seemed that everyone was pretending to be someone else, so you never knew
who people really were. When you travel to a new place far from home you
can be almost anyone you want to be and be any character you choose, this
is because no one knows you. It's liberating to be whatever you want to
be, but when you have very little knowledge of yourself and the world
around you, you may not choose so wisely. I knew in the back of my mind
that this is not a good way to find myself and I will have to find myself
somewhere else. California is a paradise where you can easily lose
yourself. But there was too many influences and not enough knowledge and
information back then. So I needed to start over. But that took over 30
years. So it wasn't just about the place, it was also about access and the
timing. And 1980 was not my time. 2008 was my time and Danbury Ct. was the
place.
Breaking Character occurs when an actor ceases to maintain the
illusion that they are identical with the
character they are
portraying. If the breaking of character is particularly serious, it is
considered corpsing, which is theatrical slang for unintentionally
breaking character by laughing.
Being Serious
is speaking sincerely with truthful accuracy, requiring effort or
concentration, rather than in a joking or halfhearted manner.
Being comfortable around someone does not
mean that you have the right to
fart any
time you want, you should have more self-control as well as a
little more respect, otherwise a
friendship could get pretty
ugly. Every friendship should have some sort of written
ground rules or a
written agreement that keeps the friendship from
disintegrating into total chaos, like the friendships between most men do, it gets crazy.
Not all my friends are your friends, and
not all your
friends
are my friends, only two thing's are for sure, you are my friend and I am you're friend.
Losing Sense of Self
Depersonalization Disorder can consist of a
reality detachment or the detachment
within
the self, regarding one's
mind or
body, or being a
detached
observer of oneself. Subjects feel
they have changed and that the world
has become
vague,
dreamlike, less real, or lacking in significance. Derealization disorder involves a persistent or recurring feeling of being
detached from one's body or mental
processes.
Feeling like a robot or that you're not in control of your
speech or movements. Depersonalization disorder often is triggered by
intense stress or a
traumatic event -- such as war,
abuse, accidents,
disasters, or extreme violence -- that the person has experienced or
witnessed. Depersonalization can
be a disturbing experience. Chronic depersonalization refers to
depersonalization-derealization disorder, which is classified by the DSM-5
as a dissociative disorder.

Disinhibition
Derealization is an
alteration in the perception of the external world, causing those with
the condition to perceive it as unreal, distant, distorted or falsified.
Other symptoms include feeling as if one's environment is lacking in
spontaneity, emotional coloring, and depth. It is a dissociative symptom
that may appear in moments of severe stress.
Dissociation is the
emotional detachment
from the immediate surroundings, to a more severe disconnection from
physical and emotional experiences. The major characteristic of all
dissociative phenomena involves a detachment from reality, rather than a
false perception of reality as in psychosis.
Dissociative Disorders are conditions that involve significant
disruptions and/or breakdowns in the normal integration of consciousness,
memory,
identity, emotion, perception,
body representation, motor control, and
behavior.
Dissociative Identity Disorder or multiple personality disorder, is a
mental disorder characterized by at least
two distinct and relatively
enduring
identities or dissociated
personality states that alternately
show in a person's
behavior, accompanied by
memory impairment for
important information not explained by ordinary forgetfulness.

Dissociative Identity Disorder in Popular Culture
refers to
works of fiction
that feature multiple personalities, or dissociative identity disorder, as
part of the plot.
Dissociative Fugue is a rare psychiatric phenomenon characterized by
reversible
amnesia for one's
identity in conjunction with unexpected
wandering or travel. This is sometimes accompanied by the
establishment of a new identity and the
inability
to recall personal information prior to the presentation of
symptoms.
Alexithymia is a personality
construct characterized by the
subclinical inability to identify and describe
emotions in the self. The
core characteristics of alexithymia are marked dysfunction in emotional
awareness, social attachment, and interpersonal relating. Furthermore, alexithymics have difficulty in distinguishing and appreciating the
emotions of others, which is thought to lead to unempathic and ineffective
emotional responding. Alexithymia is prevalent in approximately 10% of the
general population and is known to be comorbid with a number of
psychiatric conditions.
Blunted Affect is a condition of
reduced emotional
reactivity in an individual. It manifests as a
failure to express feelings
(affect display) either verbally or non-verbally, especially when talking
about issues that would normally be expected to engage the emotions.
Expressive gestures are rare and there is little animation in
facial
expression or vocal inflection. Reduced affect can be symptomatic of
autism, schizophrenia,
depression, posttraumatic stress disorder,
depersonalization disorder, or brain damage. It may also be a side effect
of certain medications (e.g.,
antipsychotics and antidepressants).
Individuals with blunted or flat affect show different regional brain
activity when compared with typical individuals. Reduced affect should be
distinguished from apathy, which explicitly refers to a lack of emotion,
whereas reduced affect is a lack of emotional expression regardless of
whether emotion is actually reduced or not.

Attitude is a psychological
construct, it is a
mental and
emotional entity that inheres in, or characterizes a person.
They are complex and an acquired state through
experiences. It is an
individual's
predisposed state of mind
regarding a
perceived value and it is precipitated through a responsive
expression
toward a person, place, thing, or event (the attitude object) which in
turn
influences the individual's thought and action. Attitude can be
formed from a
person's past and present. Key topics in the study of
attitudes include attitude measurement, attitude change, consumer
behavior, and attitude-
behavior relationships.
Point of View is a specified or stated manner of
consideration, an attitude how one sees or thinks of something, as in
"from a doctor's point of view".

Temperament broadly refers to consistent individual differences in
behavior that are biologically based and are relatively independent of
learning, system of values and attitudes. Some researchers point to
association of temperament with formal dynamical features of behavior,
such as energetic aspects, plasticity, sensitivity to specific reinforcers
and emotionality. Temperament traits (such as Neuroticism, Sociability,
Impulsivity, etc.) remain its distinct patterns in behavior throughout
adulthood but they are most noticeable and most studied in children.
Babies are typically described by temperament, but longitudinal research
in the 1920s began to establish. Temperament as something which is stable
across the lifespan of a person's or
animal's nature, especially as it permanently affects their behavior.

Ethos is a Greek word meaning "
character" that is used to
describe the guiding beliefs or
ideals that characterize a community,
nation, or ideology. The Greeks also used this word to refer to the power
of music to influence emotions, behaviors, and even morals. Early Greek
stories of Orpheus exhibit this idea in a compelling way. The word's use
in rhetoric is closely based on the Greek terminology used by Aristotle in
his concept of the three artistic proofs.
Character is the mental and
moral qualities
distinctive to an individual. The inherent complex of attributes that
determines a person's moral and
ethical
actions and
reactions.
"You
will never become who you want to be if you keep
blaming

Culture affects how people Deceive others say Researchers. They found
the statements of Western
liars tend to include fewer first-person "I"
pronouns than the statements of truth-tellers. This is a common finding
and believed to be due to the liar trying to distance themselves from
the lie. However, they did not find this difference when examining the
lies of Black African and South Asian participants. Instead, these
participants
increased their use of first person pronoun and decreased
their third person "he/she" pronouns -- they sought to distance their
social group rather than them self from the lie. There were also
differences in the kinds of contextual details reported. The White
European and White British participants followed the known trend of
decreasing the perceptual information they provided in their lie. In
contrast, the Black African and South Asian participants increased the
perceptual information they gave when lying, to compensate for providing
less social details."The results demonstrate that linguistic cues to
deception do not appear consistently across all cultures. The differences
are dictated by known cultural differences in cognition and social norms."
This has implications for everything from forensic risk assessments,
discrimination proceedings and the evaluation of asylum seekers.

Polygraph is a
lie detector test device or procedure that
measures and records several physiological indicators such as blood
pressure, pulse, respiration, and skin conductivity while a person is
asked and answers a series of questions. The belief underpinning the use
of the polygraph is that deceptive answers will produce physiological
responses that can be differentiated from those associated with
non-deceptive answers. There are, however, no specific physiological
reactions associated with lying, making it difficult to identify factors
that separate liars from truth tellers. Polygraph examiners also prefer to
use their own individual scoring method, as opposed to computerized
techniques, as they may more easily defend their own evaluations.

The Truth About Lie Detectors (aka Polygraph Tests). To detect a
person's veracity by monitoring psychophysiological changes is more myth
than reality. Even the term "
Lie
Detector," used to refer to
Polygraph Testing, is a misnomer.
So-called "
lie detection" involves inferring deception through analysis of
physiological responses to a structured, but unstandardized, series of
questions.
There this thing about reading people. The truth of the matter can not be
totally confirmed, it does not reveal truth. That person is nervous, does
not say why they are nervous. And the person might not know why their
nervous themselves. So are you helping them, or are you judging them?
Deception Detection is the ability to tell when someone is lying.
Research has consistently shown that people's ability to detect lies is no
more accurate than chance, or flipping a coin. Traditional police
practices in deception detection stem from early theories on lying that
assume liars will exhibit stress-based cues because they fear being caught
and feel guilty about lying. This theory led researchers to search for
reliable behavioral indicators of deception. They examined behaviors such
as posture shifts, gaze aversion, and foot and hand movements, without
much success.
Perjury is the offense
of
willfully telling an untruth or
Lie in a
Court after having taken an oath or
affirmation. Intentional act of swearing a false
Oath or of
falsifying an affirmation to tell the
Truth.
Sworn Testimony is evidence given by a witness who has made a
commitment to tell the truth. If the witness is later found to have lied
whilst bound by the commitment, they can often be charged with the
crime of perjury. The types of commitment can
include oaths,
affirmations and
promises. The exact
wording of the
commitments
vary from country to country.
Oath is to swear
(announce publicly or officially and promise not to
Lie) that
the
evidence that I shall give, shall be the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the
truth, so help me God.
Affirmation in Law is a solemn declaration allowed to those who
conscientiously object to
taking an oath.
Oath a

"One of the greatest benefits that comes from having knowledge is that

what you're aware of.

Everyone has an ego, but people with
large egos or toxic egos tend
to
lie more, either they're
lying to themselves
or just
lying to other people. People with large egos
or toxic egos also tend to be more
insecure and more
paranoid, usually
making ignorant assumptions
that defy reality and common sense. So it's not just a big ego, it's a
distorted reality with
negative side effects. People with big
egos are
more
divided and
more
stubborn. A person with a big ego causes them to be disconnected to
all the things in life that keeps them alive, and they seem to ignore the
reasons why they live at all. People with big egos can't even acknowledge
the fact that they
did
nothing all by themselves, and that everything they have is from other
people. And yet, they still are under the illusion that other people don't
exist in their mind. They don't even acknowledge the environment that they
use everyday to stay alive. To separate yourself from reality is to live
in a
fantasy world, a
fantasy world that you force other people to deal with. We should treat
people with big egos just like any other disease. If we don't provide the
necessary care to help them improve, other people will continue to suffer
from peoples big egos. Big egos are a
burden
on society. People with big egos spend most of their time
blaming everyone else for the problems in

passive-aggression, and
denial. It is a
person who follows their own ungoverned
impulses and
has very little self regulation.
Egocentrism is
a person who is
mostly concerned about their own interests and welfare,
and not so much concerned for other peoples interests and welfare.
Egocentric person believes that they are the center of attention, like a
narcissist, but does not receive gratification by one's own admiration.
It's having an inability to differentiate between self and other or an
inability to understand or assume any
perspective other than their own. The inability to untangle
subjective schemas from
objective reality.
Egocentric is a
self-centered person with
little regard for others.
Toxic Ego is an ego that is maladapted and
inadequately or
inappropriately adapted to the environment or situation. A
toxic ego is unsuited or poorly suited for a particular use, purpose, or
situation, and showing
faulty adaptation. A toxic ego is abnormal, flawed,
unstable, defective,
imperfect or faulty. A toxic ego is
dysfunctional or
impaired in function and failing to serve an adjustive purpose. A toxic
ego is an
exaggerated
self-importance, a
lack of empathy, an unending
desire for admiration, and manipulative behaviors. A toxic ego is a
dysfunctional ego that is no longer able to perform it's regulatory
functions optimally, thereby enabling either the Id or Superego to take
charge of the mind temporarily.

Narcissism
Unhealthy Ego is having an
overinflated view of one's
self-importance. When we
exaggerate or
assume things, and when we deny
other
opinions, or when we
ignore the fact that other people have minds
too, then our ego becomes a
relationship disrupter, which could interfere
with our
ability to communicate effectively. It's good to stand up for
yourself, but if you can't see things from
another persons perspective,
then you could be blind to other possibilities. And being aware of these
other options could benefit you or even save your life. Our ego should be
used to make
decisions about what actions to take. We should realistically
seek to
satisfy our desires in ways that are socially acceptable, and not
just acceptable from our own
personal point of view. If you let go of the
need to feel like everyone has to think highly of you, then this can help
you to focus on what's important in life, such as doing
meaningful work,
or spending quality time with loved ones. Another problem with misusing
our ego, is that we sometimes want to
compare ourselves to other people,
where we live in a misguided competition and we evaluate other people and
their
positions in society, and then we
fantasize about how we
rank when
we compare ourselves to other people. This is not a good use of time. And
you shouldn't be worrying about someone not liking you, or be
paranoid
about other people not understanding your thinking or understanding your
sense of humor. Focus on communication. And remember, your ego does not
control your life. It's your
lack of knowledge that lets you be controlled
by all kinds of
influences, and your ego is just one of many different
influences in your life, like being
famous. To
Know thyself is to
free yourself.
Self-Deception is when you might
overestimate or underestimate aspects of yourself, creating an inaccurate
self-image.
Lack of Reflection is when you
don't take the time to critically examine your own behaviors and
motivations can contribute to this disconnect from your true self.
External Influences is when people
base their
self-perception heavily on how others perceive them, leading to a
skewed view of who they are.
Bruised Ego refers to
feeling less valuable
or less important, usually based on what someone says or does. If an experience
bruises your ego, it upsets you because you
assume that it makes you feel less valuable or
less important. This is when your ego can eat you alive.
Complex.
A Healthy Ego is your
sense of
personal identity, your
sense of value and
confidence, and a way
of feeling
loved and
connected with others. It can also be a mechanism
that helps you to
avoid being vulnerable in certain situations. A healthy
ego makes
decisions that are best for them without taking the
judgment of
others into consideration. A healthy ego doesn't feel like they need to
make choices and do things in order to
impress other people. They do it
because they
know it's right and good.
A healthy ego can help prevent us from acting on our
basic urges.
Nothing wrong with being
confident and proud. It's just when you
look down at people, because you
believe that you're better then others, that's when you look like an
as*hole, and everything that you have accomplished in your life is wasted
in one moment of
selfish foolishness. That's usually when shame,
embarrassment and disgrace appears, that's if you're lucky, because some
people never realize the mistake they're making. Feeling good about
yourself can be a blessing or a curse. So you have a choice. But first you
have to learn the positives and the negatives that come from good and bad
behaviors, this way you can always make good decisions, and not have to
suffer from your mistakes so drastically.
Ego Death is the loss of
subjective
self-identity and being more
connected
to people and the universe. It's when the ordinary sense of self is
replaced by a sense of union with an ultimate reality underlying all of
manifest existence. It's cultivating a deep sense of
awareness and combining it with an
unconditionally loving experience. It's
reducing self-centeredness reference points in the life of the
individual one's philosophical
identification where you no longer feel distinct from the world or
feel like a separate entity. A
transcendence of the self and a
transformation of the psyche.
To diminish a self defeating inflated ego, it takes more than
deeply meditating or experimenting with
psychedelic drugs, it's a
learning journey where knowledge of the self and the world around you
replaces the
ignorance
of self delusion.
Chöd is a
spiritual practice of "cutting through the ego" and cuting through
hindrances and obscurations, such as
ignorance or anger.
When people feel like they are the center of the
universe, that's normal, because alone in their mind is where the center
is. So it's easy to think that all this is for you, who else would it be
for? I'm the only one in my mind, or so it seems. I can't prove that I'm
alone in my mind, and I can't prove that the universe exists only for me.
So why would I make such a stupid assumption. Oh yeah, I'm an idiot. I
think about stupid things because I'm stupid. So the only logical thing to
do is learn as much as I can about myself and the world around me. Then I
can fantasize about the silliness of my existence, just as long as I end
with."
What do I know?"
So I go back to learning. And I put my fantasy back on the shelf. I don't
have time to explore all these fantasies, I have too much to learn and not
enough time, but I still have the time giving to me, so I will use it
well.
Reality
Principle is the ability of the mind to assess the reality of the
external world, and to act upon it accordingly, as opposed to acting
according to the
pleasure principle.
The reality principle is the governing principle of the actions taken by
the ego, after its slow development from a "pleasure-ego" into a
"reality-ego".
Id, ego and
super-ego are three distinct, interacting agents in the psychic
apparatus, the id is the set of uncoordinated instinctual desires; the
super-ego plays the critical and moralizing role; and the ego is the
organized, realistic agent that mediates between the instinctual desires
of the id and the critical super-ego.

Illusion of Superiority or illusory superiority is a
cognitive bias wherein a
person
overestimates their own qualities and abilities
compared to other people. Illusory superiority is one of many positive
illusions, relating to the self, that are evident in the study of
intelligence, the effective performance of tasks and tests, and the
possession of desirable personal characteristics and personality traits.
Overestimation of abilities compared to an objective measure is known as
the overconfidence effect.

that develops over time to help a person cope with
feelings of
inferiority. Individuals with this complex typically come across as
supercilious, haughty, and
disdainful toward others. They may treat others in an imperious,
overbearing, and even aggressive manner. Superiority complex is a belief
that your abilities or accomplishments are somehow dramatically better
than other people's. People with a superiority complex may be
condescending, smug, or mean to other people who don't agree with them.

Positive Illusions are unrealistically
favorable attitudes that people have towards themselves or to people
that are close to them. Positive illusions are a form of self-deception or
self-enhancement that feel good; maintain self-esteem; or avoid
discomfort, at least in the short term. There are three general forms:
inflated assessment of one's own abilities,
unrealistic optimism about the
future, and an
illusion of control.
Stubbornness

Shadow in psychology is everything of which a person is not fully
conscious of. The shadow is the "
dark side"
where one tends to reject or remain ignorant of the least desirable
aspects of one's personality, the shadow is largely negative. There are,
however, positive aspects that may also remain hidden in one's shadow,
especially in people with low self-esteem, anxieties, and false beliefs.

boastful about one's achievements or possessions. Exhibiting
self-importance. An instance of boastful talk.
Boasting
is to speak with
excessive pride and self-satisfaction about one's
achievements, possessions, or abilities. Boasting occurs when someone
feels a sense of satisfaction or when someone feels that whatever occurred
proves their
superiority and is recounting
accomplishments so that others will feel admiration or
envy. Individuals construct an image of
themselves, a personal identity, and present themselves in a manner that
is consistent with that image. A self-presentation, when individuals seek
to balance boasting against discrediting themselves with excessive
self-promotion or being caught blatantly
misrepresenting themselves. Studies show that people often have a
limited ability to perceive how their efforts at self-presentation are
actually impacting their acceptance and likeability by others.
Pride is a feeling of
perceived self-respect and
personal worth. Satisfaction with your or another's achievements.
Pride
(wiki).
Pride is similar to
confidence. You don't want to have too
much pride or have
too much confidence. You want just enough pride to
understand your worth and value, but not have too much pride that you
lessen the worth and value of others. You want just enough confidence that
you are aware of your abilities, but not
too much confidence that you over estimate your abilities or under
estimate the abilities of others.
Paranoid -
Privilege.
Foolish Pride is being
too proud to
admit that you're
wrong. You can't admit
that you have made a
mistake. You
think that
apologies are a sign of
weakness and ignorance, and it's too embarrassing to your
fragile ego to admit that you're human. A person who
pretends to be
strong and intelligent, is often not.
Defense
mechanisms are being used incorrectly to manipulate the perception of
reality and
challenge
obvious facts, as if there is no truth. These are just excuses that
people use in order to avoid any type of work where they have to learn
something. They act as if they're a genius and they require no more
knowledge and information. They act like a know it all, but have
no proof and
no evidence. If you never
admit fault and never apologize, and if you
always blame someone else, and also have a profound
lack of empathy, it may mean that
you're becoming a
psychopath.
Excessive pride is an exaggerated appreciation of oneself by devaluating
others. It is often driven by poor self-worth. We are so
insecure that we
compensate by feeling superior. And look for others' flaws as a way to
disguise our own. We spend too much time
competing with other people and
comparing ourselves to other people. We need
to spend more time
learning instead of wasting time on
churning.

Self-Centered is the inability to differentiate between
self and other. More specifically,
it is the inability to untangle subjective schemas from
objective reality;
an inability to understand or assume any perspective other than their own.
Self-centered person who is primarily focused on their own needs and
desires might use someone to fulfill their own goals without a thought for
the other person’s well-being. Some people are brought up to think only of
themselves.
Egocentrism.
Narcissist
is a person who has an excessive
admiration of
themselves. Someone
in love with themselves
so much that they think
they are better
than others. Covert Narcissist may express narcissism through a
condescending attitude,
passive-aggressiveness, and defensiveness. Underneath their superficial
and selfish layers, the covert narcissist is a jealous and insecure person
with low self-esteem. Someone with narcissistic tendencies may be a
fake friend, tend to have an inflated sense
of self, a marked
lack of empathy for others, and a willingness to use
others to achieve their goals.
Toxic Ego.
Narcissistic Personality Disorder or
Conceited,
is a long-term pattern of abnormal behavior characterized by
exaggerated feelings of self-importance, an excessive need for
admiration,
and a
lack of understanding of others' feelings. People affected by it
often spend a lot of time thinking about achieving power or success, or
about their appearance. They often
take advantage of the people around
them. The behavior typically begins by early adulthood, and occurs across
a variety of situations. Narcissistic personality disorder is
characterized by self-absorption, grandiosity, exploitation of others and
lack of empathy. The tendency to elicit
admiration from others is epitomic, but it is manipulative and finalized
to take a personal advantage.
Narcissism is the pursuit of gratification from
vanity
or egotistic
admiration of one's own attributes. The term originated from
Greek mythology, where the young Narcissus fell in love with his own image
reflected in a pool of water.
Main
Character Syndrome describes the lens through which a person sees
themselves. People who think they're the main character tend to
believe
that they're the most important person in most situations and interactions
with people. Main character syndrome is a term used to describe a person's
tendency to
view themselves
as the central character in their life. It's not a mental health
diagnosis, but it can be harmful and may overlap with other mental health
conditions. Having an
exaggerated sense of
importance can lead to difficulty accepting criticism. Seeking
constant attention. Having trouble empathizing with others. Having
difficulty taking direction from others. Clashing with colleagues who have
different perspectives or goals. Main character syndrome can be both good
and bad, depending on the situation. For example, it can be used as a form
of self-care or to preserve boundaries. However, it can also lead to
narcissistic behaviors and impact how people relate to others.
Stock
Character.
Narcissism sometimes decreases with age. People who are more
narcissistic as children tend to remain so as adults. But some people tend
to become less narcissistic as they age from childhood through older
adulthood. However, differences among individuals remain stable over time
-- people who are more narcissistic than their peers as children tend to
remain that way as adults, the study found.
You have a
Stick up your Ass means that you're grouchy or in a bad mood, or
angry over a particular thing or occurrence for
no logical reason. It can also mean that you're
controlling,
over reactive and
self
absorbed, and will
seldom admit that you are wrong.
Psychological Egoism is the view that humans are always
motivated by
Self-interest, even in what seem to be acts of
altruism. It
claims that, when people choose to help others, they do so ultimately
because of the personal benefits that they themselves expect to obtain,
directly or indirectly, from doing so.
Adolescent
Egocentrism describes the phenomenon of adolescents' inability to
distinguish between their perception of what others think about them and
what people actually think in reality. Adolescents are able to
conceptualize their own thoughts and conceive of other people's thoughts,
but most adolescents tend to focus mostly on their own perceptions –
especially on their behaviors and
appearance
– because of the "
physiological metamorphosis"
they experience during this period. This leads to adolescents' belief that
other people are as attentive to their behaviors and appearance as they
are of themselves.
Id, Ego and
Super-Ego, the id is the set of uncoordinated instinctual
trends; the super-ego plays the critical and moralizing role; and the ego
is the organized, realistic part that mediates between the desires of the
id and the super-ego. The super-ego can stop one from doing certain things
that one's id may want to do.
Alter Ego is a second self, which is believed to
be distinct from a person's normal or original personality. A person who
has an alter ego is said to
lead a double life.

The Imaginary is one of three terms in the psychoanalytic
perspective of Jacques Lacan, along with the Symbolic and the Real. The
basis of the Imaginary order is the formation of the ego in the "mirror

indirectly causes itself to become true, by the very terms of the prophecy
itself, due to positive feedback between belief and behavior.

Defense Mechanisms
Defence
Mechanisms are used to
manipulate,
deny, or
distort reality in
order to defend against feelings of anxiety and unacceptable impulses and
to maintain one's
self-schema. Defence mechanism
is an
unconscious psychological
mechanism that reduces anxiety arising from unacceptable or potentially
harmful stimuli. These
processes that manipulate, deny, or distort reality may include the
following: repression, or the burying of a painful feeling or thought from
one's awareness even though it may resurface in a symbolic form;
identification, incorporating an object or thought into oneself; and
rationalization, the justification of one's behaviour and motivations by
substituting "good" acceptable reasons for the actual motivations. In
psychoanalytic theory, repression is considered as the basis for other
defence mechanisms. Healthy persons normally use different defences
throughout life. An
ego defense mechanism becomes pathological only when
its persistent use leads to maladaptive behaviour such that the physical
or mental health of the individual is adversely affected. Among the
purposes of ego defence mechanisms is to protect the mind/self/ego from
anxiety or social sanctions or to
provide a refuge from a situation with
which one cannot currently cope.
Compensation in psychiatry is a defense mechanism that conceals
your undesirable shortcomings by
exaggerating
desirable behaviors.
Compartmentalization is a subconscious psychological defense mechanism
used to avoid cognitive dissonance, or the mental discomfort and anxiety
caused by a person's having
conflicting values, cognitions, emotions, beliefs, etc. within
themselves. Compartmentalization allows these conflicting ideas to
co-exist by inhibiting direct or explicit acknowledgement and interaction
between separate compartmentalized self-states.
Denial.
Pretending to
understand something is a type of defense mechanism where you don't
want to admit that you don't understand something because you fear that
it will make you look
ignorant.
Cognitive
Dissonance is the mental discomfort or psychological stress experienced
by a person who
holds two
or more contradictory beliefs, ideas, or values. This discomfort is
triggered by a situation in which a person's belief clashes with new
evidence perceived by the person. When confronted with facts that
contradict beliefs, ideals, and values, people will try to find a way to
resolve the contradiction to reduce their discomfort.
Sublimation in psychology is a mature type of defense mechanism, in
which socially unacceptable impulses or idealizations are
transformed into socially
acceptable actions or behavior, possibly resulting in a long-term
conversion of the initial impulse.
Praise (stimuli)
Psychological Projection in which humans defend themselves against
their own
unconscious
impulses or qualities (both positive and negative) by denying their
existence in themselves while attributing them to others. For example, a
person who is habitually rude may constantly accuse other people of being
rude. It incorporates
blame shifting.
Regression
is a defense mechanism leading to the temporary or long-term reversion of
the ego to an
earlier stage of development
and adopting more childish mannerisms rather than handling
unacceptable impulses in a more adult way.
Decadence
is a perceived decay in standards,
morals,
dignity, religious faith, or skill at governing among the members of the
elite of a very large social structure, such as an empire or nation state.
By extension, it may refer to a decline in art, literature, science,
technology, and work ethics, or (very loosely) to self-indulgent
behavior.
