UNDERSTANDING THE SELF

ASSIGNMENT NO. 2

Each person has their own understanding, perception, thoughts, and self-perception,
and all philosophical perspectives of all philosophers are valid. I agree with and
accept their viewpoint that our identity or self is a unique rationale and experience.
We gained some life lessons from our experiences and shared them with others.
We grow as people as a result of our experiences, and we learn more about our
capabilities as humans in terms of how we deal with any issue and how effectively we
handle it. I believe that our selves require other selves in order to build our character
and have healthy relationships with others. And being with someone allows us to
show them our true selves. Every day, we encounter new people. We display our
phony selves to them. For a variety of reasons, we are unable or unwilling to reveal
our true selves to them. I can't exhibit my true self to others. I'm frightened they'll
condemn me without knowing who I truly am. I honestly have trust issues for many
reasons and in certain situations, particularly with the people around me, and I don't
want other people to get to know me. I never disclose stories about myself in my life;
instead, I keep things to myself and let others find out about them. I'd rather not
inform them, especially if they're new to me. I'd rather listen to other people's stories
than my own. The last one is that I can only open up and allow them see my actual
self when I know I can trust them, but this also relies on how long we have known
each other or a friend. If I chose to let them see the false me, there is nothing wrong
with that, but most of the time, what they see in me is great with me since I know
myself better than their false knowledge about me.It is still up to me to pick who I can
trust. I believe in Winnicott's terms "true self" and "false self," which suggest that
people may build a fake self to protect their inner, more vulnerable genuine self.
There is only one person in our lives who we must learn to be nice to, care for, rely on,
be honest with, and simply love and respect, and that person is ourselves. Then, armed
with this knowledge, we may share everything we've learned with others.One cannot
be truly happy if they do not know how to respect themselves. They get despondent
and/or direct their own lives in the direction that others believe they should take. My
own experiences simply serve to validate the preceding. I swear to myself that I will
I was no longer going to let people govern my life.I began to let my true self shine
through. I realized that being strong required me to be honest to myself. People who
accept me for who I am, even if they don't know my life stories, are grateful to me
because they help me develop or improve myself. To summarize, the psychological
view on the Self includes a complex understanding of one's individual identity,
including characteristics such as cognition, emotion, and behavior. It highlights the
fluidity of self-concept, which changes throughout time in response to experiences,
social interactions, and internal thoughts. Finally, this viewpoint emphasizes the
importance of self-awareness and introspection in determining human development
and well-being.
