Personal identity

People lose their identity when they put aside their own criteria and in the hands of

the one they say they focus all their attention. Imagine an international media artist who has

lost all their value by representing a figure who is not the real personality inside them who

they really want to be. However, it is not so easy to lead a normal life. When you are a

public image and you are in the crosshairs of the whole world. This kind of person

It illustrates the thinking error "pleasing people." Try to act on a script in their lives to

avoid being devalued by society. I dedicate myself to pleasing and impressing others, or I

struggle to know my virtues and overcome this thinking error, having a growth mindset

when I struggle to recognize my own identity as a child of God.

If I have a growth mindset, I will be able to recognize when I am afraid, that I will

not have the need for approval from others to be happy in what I propose. Rafael Salin-

Pascual in his book Social Anxiety (Social Phobia): When others are the

Hell, he says that "the fear of what they will say is also known as social phobia." His

Existence often makes us fail. Why fail? Pascual says that "When you have

fear of what they will say, they usually suppress your skills and/or talents"; This with the

aim of not Make a fool of yourself or prevent them from thinking badly of you. Or, failing
that, you don't want them to think something contrary to what you want to project. Having

a growth mindset will help me to adapt to changes and to feel more comfortable with my

failures.

Seeking to please others may seem like we live a happier life, but it actually

suppresses our true abilities, if I have a true mindset of Growth I will be able to think about

how I would like to be and thus achieve my maximum potential.
