“Unpacking the Self”

Unpacking the self in my own understanding is that something you need to take out in
yourself by opening up to your friends, family, special some one in your life or anyone who you
trust about your feelings and Problems even if its social life emotional or love life about your
family and education anything that you’ve been through you need to take it or to unpack to
change what’s in yours that make you feel bad. To fill or change things that will make you reach
your goals or dream.
Unpacking the self is important for you to understand or to know what you to or going to be
someday in your future and to fulfil your dreams. Because if you don’t unpack yourself you will
get depress, worry, sad, your always feel down or alone, you always think that you don’t have
did to make things right or you always think negative about yourself. Unpacking the self is
important to know.
Learned about ourselves for the different point of view of any individual to learned how can
affect the mind set of every persons. When you having a good personality is a good behavior
that person we expect on others and to ourself identity development level or an individual can
provide our individual senses and identity.
Learned how to control ourself for different perpective and emotional for every happened in your
life that we experience always. We also have different skills and knowledge and increase raises
of level of an individual perpections.
This chapter will be explain the important of Unpack the self, individual identity development and
the layer of self. We need self-concept to know who really are and to have more positive self-
awareness, to see yourself success and accept yourself who you are. Also to remove the
negative self-concept believe in yourself from what you are doing.
Nowadays, many people underestimate there self. They can’t show who and what what they
are because of the negative self-concept he/she didn’t try doing one thing that’s why affected
their confidence. Many people of us can’t there show true identity because of some experiences
and judging their personality they feel low self-esteem.
Unpacking the self; an identity development through psychological ownership. The importance
of knowing oneself through 4 layers of self-perspective which are: core self, learned self, lived
self, and perceived self.
These 4 layers of self-perspective respectively means; who you truly are essentially what you
have learn about yourself if over time through environmental, relationship socially and
personally how you choose on how you live and present yourself as a whole and what you
perceive yourself to be regardless less or more.
Psychologically, each individual will injulge in their physical self, sexual self, material or
economic self, political self, spiritual self and digital self through each one of their own self
perspective mentioned above.
Through each of one’s self perspective will they bring in their physical self as in who they are
physically in shape, in their own skin what their sexual preferences has become, either labelled
or not , verbalized or not how their own self has become a power to their identity financially how
and what they will or have contributed politically who one truly is essentially, spiritually and what
one owns identity choose to be digitally.
The importance of this is to know who you are, what kind of identity you hold and bring
personally or socially, and of what use is your identity publically. To know when to use the right
identity power they possess, to know the wrong of what it may bring to oneself, anyone else.
To be able to reach this objective we need to implement this to daily aspects. Not only will the
educational system will take part in this matter but as well as parenting or well guidance and
exposure of the matter during early age.
One will be able find who they really are. What they can contribute to their environment if taught
what good that the power of their self-identity bring. Thus, identity development will arise from
then on.
