Lesson
Self-Development:
1 Knowing Oneself
Many of our millennials jump to conclusions about themselves knowing more
what, know and believe they do about themselves and technology has
improved this definition through apps and media, especially how they used
these platforms in defining themselves (Social Media and Doubt; Jacobson,
2020) . Their social media profiles give a new meaning to who they are as a
person living in this digital age. However, this does not answer the most and
perhaps the fundamental question, “Do you know yourself?” Often, this
question delves into the fundamental entity of ourselves, the basic question
of understanding ourselves, not just through our expressions in social
platforms and the like but, deals in more “How much do we know about our
self?” in the process.

What’s In
Do you still remember your scores when you took your NCAE in junior high
school? Have you thought about what you will do after your Senior High
School or beyond your college years? A great way to refresh dreams and
reminisce about your future endeavors is to remember your “ideal self.”
Psychologists often call this "future self." Below is a simple drill to refresh your
“current self.”
ANALYSIS
After having examined your “self” in its different stages, fill out the table below:

What’s New
Johari’s Window
One great way of assessing the self and know how much the individual knows
the self is by asking the people around them. Though this may be awkward,
particularly when asking someone straightforwardly. Know that even your
friends can be a great source of information, whether it be positive or negative
about the self. To avoid being awkward and extract the best possible self-
assessment without compromising the individual, psychologists Joseph Luft
(1916-2014) and Harrington Ingham (1916-1995) devised a technique to help
people better understand themselves as well as their relationship with others.
As used frequently in groups (group dynamics), this activity helps understand
people to develop teamwork. Below are some post-activities to challenge
yourself on how much you know about your “self.”

What is It
The Self, in modern-day literature and even common sense, is defined by the following
characteristics: “separate, self-contained, independent, consistent, unitary, and private”
(Stevens, 1996). When we talk about the self, being “separate,” it means it is distinct, different
and unique from others. It has its own uniqueness that
defines him/her from others. It has an identity of its own,
even twins, may it be fraternal, is very much distinct
from the other. When we are talking about “self-
contained,” we describe its existence as having its own
independence. It may exist with or without others; it is
self-containing of its own thoughts, characteristics and
volition. For example, we make our profile pictures in
https://www.nbcnews.com/better/lifestyle/ social media, carefully choosing a picture that expresses
what-self-awareness-how-can-you- more of our thoughts, that tells us of what we are, that tells
cultivate-it-ncna1067721
us what we are in real life. Although, in these given times,
it is easy to create another “self” or deceive someone using
a make-up “self”.
Nevertheless, although it is relatively easy to make another “self” in this age of social
media and advance technology, the “self” is very much consistent and persisting. Every “self”
has its own personality that is enduring, that lasts during late adolescence. Its uniqueness and
its consistency allow it to be studied, described and even measured (also means that a particular
self’s traits, characteristics, tendencies and potentialities) are very evident and distinguishable
from other “selves.” The Self is unitary in that it is the center of all experiences and thoughts
that run a particular person. It is the topmost executive in an individual where all processes,
emotions, and thoughts converged. Lastly, the self is private. A person may sort out
information, feelings and emotions, and thought processes within the self. The whole process
is never accessible to anyone but the self. This suggests that the self is isolated from the external
world. It lives within its own world.
13
improve or develop as deemed by every individual. This may also pertain to the gifts that you
possess that is innate in you when you were born.
There are several factors that shape self-concept. Among them are your own observations,
feedback from others and cultural values.
14
constant approval and disapproval set guidelines for what should be or not, shaping and
inputting the values and characteristics of the children and, later, becoming what they are when
they grow. The saying “Kung ano ang puno ay siyang bunga”, is a testament output family
values instilled in childhood rearing practices. Aside from children comparing their actions
from others, they also compare themselves to their parents. That is why sometimes, even when
our parents are gone, we still have their characteristics and values; we unconsciously accept
this as our self-concept, along with their approvals and disapprovals. Most of us, especially
when we are young, take this sort of feedback to heart. Thus, it is no surprise that studies find
an association between parents’ views of a child and the child’s self-concept (Wylie, 1979).
There is even more substantial evidence for a relationship between children’s perception of
their parents’ attitudes toward them and their self-perception (Wylie, 1979).
Having Self-knowledge stems from the actual – self. It derives from our social interactions of
society that provide insight into how others react to us. It is the same as gaining feedback from
others. The reaction of other people is an essential aspect of gaining actual-self or our self-
image. Even our social roles are adjusted, on how we view ourselves today, and how ideally
(ideal self) what we would like to be in the future. There is a negotiation that exists between
the two selves, which is complicated by numerous exchanges between the ideal self and actual
self. These exchanges are exemplified in these social roles, and they are adjusted continuously
and re-adjusted.

What I Have Learned
1. The Self has several distinctive characteristics that separate from other
“selves.”
2. The Self has its own experiences and emotions, which is very different and
unique in any other way.
3. Self-Concept is a combination of both our actual-self (present) and ideal-self
(future self).
4. Self-Concept can also be our comparison to others, even our people who
have a direct and indirect influence.
5. Our observation of ourselves and others, the feedback from others, our
historical or cultural perspective also play a role in shaping our self-concept.
6. Having self-knowledge in our aspects and historical beginnings also provide
essential information shaping our actual self, which is very much closer or
far from our ideal self.
7. In the process of merging our actual self and ideal self, our social roles
provide us the adjustment in the changing and conflicting development of
our society.
8. The actual and ideal self can’t be confused in defining the “self”. It must be
collated and defined according to its aspects and its development and even
lapses, of the self is very unique in every individual in which they have
unique definition and expression.
18
What I Can Do
Instruction: How much do you know of yourself? How does your “self” fair
from others in responding in our changing times, especially in adjusting to
our “new normal”? The exercise below is a simple activity in affirming what
our “self” in relation to our reaction and feedback in our environment.
