HOW WILL YOU ANSWER A QUESTION THAT IS OUTMODED- WHAT IS SELF-REFLECTION?

How will you answer the question that is outmoded- What is self-reflection?

Self-reflection has been studied and analyzed by philosophers and psychologists in the same way for a period of times. Although there are lots of disagreement and debate if what exactly is self-reflection, individuals will go along with self-reflection as something to do with how an individual think and feel about her or himself.

Others may say that self-reflection refers to how a person sees herself in this world. What she does in her daily life – how she treat other people, her job, or how appealing or charming she is to others- hinges on her self-reflection. Some also have optimistic view or perceptions about themselves, while others do not have. Individuals with positive views of themselves are believed to be a useful and a good person. Otherwise, likewise, those who have uncertain or negative views in life are frequently judged as are not useful and unworthy.

This leads to additional explanation or meaning of self-reflection, which is how others look into an individual. When someone does not enjoy a person’s companionship, that person might go through an inferior self-reflection. We admit it or deny it, but people put extreme emphasis on what other person feel about them.

It is a must to always remember that one’s self-reflection will go through changes throughout their whole life. When they do, one will start to depend on less on what other is thinking about them as they become accepted by society and they will get mature. Their views transform as they went through a lot of learning or become more educated. Finding one’s hobby, skills, or learning more about the word can have a good or positive bang on individuals’ self-confidence.

Although, from time to time, an individual have to undergo counseling for him or her to develop a self-reflection that is positive. This is very usual to teenagers and women. In fashion magazines as being observe, it shows how perfect women are, but not in reality. However, other women become depressed and think that they cannot live up to this anticipation. Similarly, teenagers feel it too when they match up their selves to any one in their friends. Impractical self-evaluation like this is not good and is dangerous to oneself. They can lead to disturbing behaviors, drug or alcohol abuse, and eventually eating disorders. Meeting or looking to a counseling or therapist can somewhat helpful because it will make an individual realize how unnecessary for him or her to compare him or herself to other people. There will be an improvement to their self-reflection, which in the result; they will live a satisfied life.

Nurturing one’s self-reflection is necessary. All of us feel unworthy and so imperfect sometimes. However, many are recovering from it and continually live their life. Though, it is not as easy to let go of this unnecessary feelings. Professional advice and help is a must for a person to improve and increase his or her inner strength that is needed to release those bad feelings.

    • You are absolutely right about this. Let me just take an example here where when we go to church and people are in the mood for prayer, we are usually told to take time and reflect upon our lives. My understanding of this is that self reflection is all about looking into your life and seeing what it is that your doing in your life. Could you be doing something that is not right or getting into things that are not right? So when you start looking at this things and just checking your attitude towards people and the way you treat them is also reflecting on your life.

      • Yeah, probably. Self-reflection can be seen through the things we are doing and you are right, our self-reflects through our attitudes.

    • For me , self reflection is the way people sees you with the ways that you are doing , saying and thinking.

      When someone posts at FB for example Godly quotes, it reflects the personality of that person as being prayerful.

      But if one acts ill mannered, it somehow reflects how that person was raised by his parents or may have experienced violence in his life.

      • You said it right ma'am Dina. However, not anytime, all the actions that a person doing is the reflection of who really he is. Some are showing goodness but at the back of their mind, they are thinking badly.

        I will give an example of a woman who applied as a maid particularly here in Baguio but she is from another place. At first, she was so kindhearted, humble, and as if a trustworthy person. After a few months of staying as a maid for a good family, she killed the daughter of her employer and then went away taking all the things that are valuable and useful to her.

        So, I concluded that not all the actions shown by a person is real and it doesn't reflect who she is. We should not judge a person by how she acts in front of us. They might be deceiving us.
