UNDESTANDING THE SELF (LESSON 1 & 2)

Lesson 1: Brief Overview of Personality Psychology.

Think it over.
If someone you recently met would ask you about your personality, how will
you go about it?

If someone will ask me about myself and my Personality, I think its kind a hard for
me to let them know who I truly am, for the reason that I don’t easily let myself give
information about my personality, since I have trust issues. Back then, I used to share
every bits of my personality, but that change when they used it against me. Even your
closest can turn their backs on you, I have learned not too easily give details about me
especially to someone I recently met.

Reflection.
What are your insights (at least 2) into the study of personality through
psychology?

All I can say I’ve had learned a lot on this lesson, but also it’s not for me to be that
kind of a person who gives detailed about their personal life or I can say it’s not my
personality. I know that we should be open our heart and mind to tell some of our
personal life, the lesson for me that I did understand that we need enough knowledge
to know our self to determine our personality on our lives.
Personality through psychology is the scientific discipline that studies the
personality system. The discipline seeks to understand a person's major psychological
patterns and how those patterns are expressed in an individual's life.
Lesson 2: Psychoanalytic and Psychodynamic Theories of Personality.
THINK IT OVER.
In your understanding, how will you distinguish both theoretical explanation
about human nature?

Theories on human nature, Attempts to start the most central feature of human
being are in contrast to the lighting the theory tell us where we are going and what we
should value in life. Human nature is a concept that denotes the fundamental
dispositions and characteristics—including ways of thinking, feeling, and acting—that
humans are said to have naturally. The term is often used to denote the essence of
humankind, or what it 'means' to be human. This usage has proven to be controversial
in that there is dispute as to whether or not such an essence actually exists.

REFLECTION
What are the new insight (at least 2) you have gained in the reading the
lesson?
The insights I have gained is development of the self. Development in the self it
gives more knowledge to know who really I am. During development we encountered
different situations that can give us more knowledge. I also learned Psychoanalysis is
defined as a set of psychological theories and therapeutic methods which have their
origin in the work and theories of Sigmund Freud. The primary assumption of
psychoanalysis is the belief that all people possess unconscious thoughts, feelings,
desires, and memories.

What defines mechanism/s do you find yourself unconsciously following?

What would be your way to counter these from happening again? Elaborate
here.
Mechanism that defines myself unconsciously and what if I ever encounter this
situation again, for me I think that’s my regrets on the past and don’t want to be back
again. My mind filled with negative thoughts and be the one person that have too much
on my mind and I’ll overthink it. So now, to myself that no need to be back on the past
and something from my mistakes that I made before. I’ll say to myself that life is fragile.
