Ya makakilaya sa ija kaugalingon…
Some of the things to irk this writer are - when he feels that someone is trying to make all efforts to feel important; when an individual insists to sit on the most important seat during a gathering; when someone speaks highly of himself and when people see others as lesser beings.
When
people think highly of themselves, it often refers to having an inflated sense
of ego or self-importance. This means they have an unrealistic view of their abilities,
characteristics and accomplishments, and may even have superiority complex
(Steinorth-Powell, 2023).
A
classic psychological theory from the 1970s—the interpersonal theory of
depression developed by James Coyne—describes this behavior. Coyne speculated
that people who are depressed engage in “nonreciprocal, high disclosure of
intimate problems.” Put simply, individuals who monopolize conversations with a
sole focus on their own concerns may not merely display rudeness or
insensitivity but may actually be grappling with underlying depressive
symptoms.
The
exploration of introspection is frequently cited as important toward the
cultivation of self-awareness. Upon attaining self-awareness, individuals often
exhibit a pronounced inclination to rectify errors stemming from their ego.
They possess the capacity to mitigate their shortcomings through volitional
efforts aimed at personal growth and development.
When
people reflect on their thoughts and feelings, they not only understand
themselves better but also realize how their ego affects what they do and
think. This self-awareness helps them recognize and fix behaviors influenced by
their inner self, leading to better relationships with others.
The
process of introspection plays a pivotal role in enhancing individuals'
self-awareness and understanding of their ego's influence on their thoughts and
actions. As Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung once remarked, "Until you make
the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it
fate."
