Why You'Re Not Who You Think You Are explores key ideas related to psychology, presented clearly and practically.
Truth is, you weren’t always a mother, you
are only a mother because you had a child,
only a daughter because you were birthed,
So if everything you believe yourself to be,
is conditional and dependent on something
how to answer this simple yet complicated
question of who we really are. And so, we are
constantly creating identities for ourselves,
consequently getting further and further away
from knowing your true self. Until you realize
your true self, you will go through life playing
different roles to fit in with certain situations.
deeper than the daily life roles we play,
figure out why others don’t work as hard.
According to the pristine blog, Psychology
Today, If we take these self-identifiers and
break them down, we usually find that the person
who claims they are very caring, may be so overly
caring because they have underlying guilt.
The only reason they care so much is because
they think if nobody else cares about this, it
won’t get done and you can’t have that happen.
And sometimes if we look into this even deeper, we
find that this very caring person that is actually
having to care so much. So at this point,
them? Are they caring, guilty, or resenting?
Or what about the very hard worker. Why are they
working so hard? Do they fear not having the
funds to pay for the life they want? Do they fear
that everyone around them isn’t capable of doing
the job to their expectations? Or do they just
need an escape from the life they have at home?
we may find that they actually resent having to
work so hard, and wish everyone around them would
pick up their slack. So who is this individual?
A hard worker, a lost soul, or a control freak?
victim role. This classic role refers to people
going through their lives feeling victimized
by the world and everyone in it, believing
everything and everyone is out to get them.
It is known in psychology that these people
actually create a life for themselves that they
are needed to play the victim such as; attracting
abusive spouses, attracting disrespectful bosses,
etc. So are these people victims or is it
all just a roll they play in their minds?
their life-roles entirely. This usually happens
after a big life changing event or crisis such as
the loss of a loved one, the changing of careers,
or something as simple as having a baby. So,
if our self-identity is based solely off of the
roles we play, yet the roles we play are so easy
to alter, then who we are is always changing
- in fact, who we are is entirely conditional.
The most important thing to keep in mind when
asking yourself the question “who am I” is that
these roles are entirely fabricated and have
little to do with who you are at a subconscious,
soul level. They are not the real person hiding
behind all of the roles we attach to ourselves.
distractions we learn to use at an early age as a
coping and defense mechanism. Once we realize that
this coping mechanism can get us what we want, or
have people view us the way we want, we begin
to use them as an identification for ourselves.
are “a good little girl or boy for mommy,
they will get a cookie after dinner”. So, now
they know if they put on the good little girl
by being helpful, good listeners, etc. they
necessarily helpful, or good at listening
(most children aren’t), but they can definitely
play that role for a while to be rewarded.
So, in the end, the question “Who am I?” can be
answered by saying we are all made up of thoughts,
patterned- behaviours, opinions, and feelings.
And these things may and will change many times
throughout our lives. Who we are is never
yourself on a spiritual or soul level, you will
always be learning and growing through life.
The real question should be, “Who am I right now”?
