      I Also agree , and can also connect to it, because i have sen it before
  • Identity is a core and unavoidable part of all our lives.

  • Trying to pretend that identity doesn’t matter may make you feel better about yourself, but it won’t affect how others see you, and how their perceptions shape their actions
  • I believe that each of us should be thoughtful, proactive, and rigorous about our own identity.

      I disagree, but i do think that we should be in mind of it/ be familiar with it
  • Focusing on and answering a few key questions will allow you to shape your identity

      I Agree that it does shape your identity, but I would like to be surprised finding out who i am honestly
  • Your identity is your vector; it is a path defined by what you do and why you do it.
  • your identity helps you sharpen your answers to the 6 Ws: Who, What, Where, When, Why, and hoW.

  • Paul Graham’s approach of keeping your identity small may help keep conflicts from arising over your identity, but in fact this could actually be negative.
    • citoking

      I disagree it would be negative, i think it would be best to keep your identity small & unknown but it is impossible?
  • Saying you’re a “good person” is meaningless unless you actually *act* on behalf of others
    • citoking
      citoking on 09 May 14
       
      I don't think everyone understands this, but its self-explanatory
  • You should follow the principles behind your identity; you shouldn’t seek out conflict as an act of self-aggrandizement.

      I Think they are trying to say , don't go beyond your limit, whatever your brain tells you to do, you do

What is your self-identity? - 1 views

  • Your self-identity was constructed in childhood.
    • citoking
      citoking on 30 Apr 14
       
      I Agree With this because you learn from what you grow up watching.
  • Your conscious identity makes the choices you are aware of, while your subconscious mind drives habitual healthy, and unhealthy behaviors.
  • Your self-identity is how you see yourself based on what you find similar to you consciously, and unconsciously.

  • To identify is to recognize something as familiar and similar.

      The author is stating the obvious
  • An identity is a constellation of characteristics that determine who a person is
  • Children are born without awareness of being a separate individual; you don’t have an identity to begin with!

      Social interactions
  • You need feedback to be aware of yourself.
  • Feedback serves as a mirror that reflects who you are being.
  • Mirroring and self-images
  • Self-images are constructed from important similar events that happened many times. These events were important because they involved people we trusted and needed to help us satisfy our core needs for safety, nurturing attention (love, belonging), and mirroring back our value etc.

      It seems as if they are explaining that your true colors will show around people you know you can trust such as your family
  • For example, if I was praised for “good performances” I would tend to see myself as intelligent (a positive self-image), and I would tend to see that in others, AND if was told I was stupid for making mistakes, I would learn to fear making mistakes because it means that I’m stupid (a negative self-image).

  • How to Create your Self Identity
    • citoking
      citoking on 25 Apr 14
       
      How can you even "create" a self identity
    • citoking
      citoking on 25 Apr 14
       
      Isn't it really something thats already built in a person?
  • For Example,  If you’re in a relationship and you have an idea in your world view that trust is important, but you are not consciously aware of how you know when you are able to trust someone.  There will be a gap in your boundary under the preference of trust.  In this case you may unwittingly play games with your partner, setting up little tests and attempting to get feelings of being able to ‘trust them’ by seeing how well they do at your tests.

      this is something i can definitely relate to. this could be very confusing.
  • you might see your Self Identity or the influence of it extending outside of what is really within your control.

      who else besides yourself can control your self identity?

  • where you believe that someone else ‘should’ act in a certain way and when they do, there actions increase your Self Esteem.
    • citoking
      citoking on 05 May 14
       
      You definitely cannot control some one else
  • Your sense of who you are, is your Self Identity
  • it is your assessment of your personality and attributes.
  • Your Identity is who and what you present to the world through the behavior you have according to your boundaries
    • citoking
      citoking on 05 May 14
       
      you decide what people think about you
  • When you have a solid, clear and concise awareness of your world view, you can consciously make solid and clear preferences of what you say yes and no to (your boundaries).
    • citoking
      citoking on 05 May 14
       
      As complicated as it seems , it really makes sense
  • From a psychological prospective when you are able to define a preference or rule in your world view; you become aware of your limit of control.
  • You know and understand that you can only define yourself through who you are.
  • You can only control yourself and how you choose to act.

  • Where problems arise in Self Identity
  • Who I am? A question everyone at some point will ask themselves
  • Refers to the global understanding a person has of themselves
  • For example, the statement, “I am lazy” is a self-assessment that contributes to the self-concept.
  • Your ability to say either YES and NO to events or statements.

      I can definitely relate to this statement.
  • You know someone who you enjoy being around socially but they occasionally do things that are a matter of a small illegal crime
    • citoking
      citoking on 25 Apr 14
       
      I agree with this statement also but i highly believe that EVERYONE in the world has done something illegal. Its no way you cannot.
  • Refers to the structure or framework that a person uses to organize and define what the world is to them.
    • citoking
      citoking on 25 Apr 14
       
      I feel that this is basically saying that everyone see's the world in their own way.
  • While Self Esteem is a general state of mind, it is affected by changes in any one of the various feelings that make it up.  For example a drop in confidence will lower Self Esteem in the short term.
  • If you do not have a boundary about yelling, the person will yell at you … and you will feel according to your world view that they do not respect you and will lose Self Esteem.
  • A gap can be defined as a hole in your boundary.  It is a lack of a preference or rule you have about yourself or your behavior or your place in the world.
  • A vague preference or rule is something that you are a little wishy-washy on.  It is a concept or situation where you have an idea of what is acceptable to you

  • the inflation in the United States during the past three years has been the worst since the early 1940′s
  • Money is a medium of exchange that facilitates trade in goods and services.
  • When an economic good is sought and wanted, not only for its use in consumption or production but also for purposes of exchange, to be held in reserve for later ex­changes, the demand for it obvi­ously increases.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • People seek money because it has purchasing power
  • The purchasing power of money is determined by the demand for and supply of money
  • As money is a medium of ex­change, our demand for it may be influenced by considerations of facts and circumstances either on the goods side of the exchange or on the money side.
