Umay baja kuyang dimo? There are many instances that people need acceptance and affirmation. They are even doing things for other people’s approval. They try to copy the personalities of others to be famous.
Hunger
for attention, affection and affirmation stems from childhood deprivation. Literature
concerning previous experiences all over the world that may have some aspects
in common with insecurity reported a high presence of psychological distress
such as depression, stress, irritability, and inner conflicts (Hawryluck, 2004).
The
inner turmoil will then affect the person’s ecology. There are people around
the egocentric person who will then react on the attitude. You see, the
culprits will always feel that they are right; that they have the monopoly of
ideas. And when others intervene, they will then consider those who intervene
as the ENEMY.
There
is really a need for an individual to master the person inside. Scott Jeffrey
theorized that self-mastery is often defined as self-control, the ability to
exert a strong will against our impulses to steer our future to one of our
choosing. But this is only one aspect of the term. Self-mastery requires having
a vision for your future self and harnessing the will to realize that vision.
Yet,
there are persons who cannot perform this aspect in themselves. They continue
to mention the words: this is me. There is always a room for improvement. And
this can stem from the realization that the SELF is developed to help and serve
OTHERS.
Social
perspective-taking is the ability to understand how a situation appears to
another person and how that person is reacting cognitively and emotionally. The
opposite of perspective-taking is egocentrism or being unaware that other
perspectives exist and that one’s own view of the situation or issue is
incomplete and limited (Johnson, 2019).
Let
us see ourselves clearly so that we can consider the perspectives of others
too.
