Knowing Oneself
1
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.”
Follow up Questions:
1. How do you compare yourself now from before? How do you fair to your improvements?
2. Do you think you can achieve more “now”, than that you were small? Cite some
examples.
3. There are many instances where in you can choose who you can be as of now. Why this
current “self”? Explain.
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.”

Having in its own world means, you can create or nurture what you can be (ideal self)
or maintain/improve your current self (actual self). The ideal self pertains to the image or
aspirations of what you want to become. This may be
similar in hoping characteristics that you do
not possess as of the moment, but may one day be part of
who you are, just like what Filipinos tend to watch in
various talent shows. This may be the ability to have a
beautiful voice; or have different achievements like
the characteristics of your idols or other international
figures (Michael Jordan, Sarah Geronimo etc.) While the
actual self as the term implies https://dlpng.com/png/3990456 “actual”, is your present self
that you see on the daily basis. It is the self that is constantly keeping in touch in your
everyday experiences. It has the potential to 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.
social comparison theory, people need to compare themselves with others in order to gain
insight into their own behavior (Festinger, 1954; Goethals & Darley, 1977; Wood, 1989).
The potential impact of such social comparison was dramatically demonstrated in an
interesting study (Morse & Gergen, 1970).
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’s More

Instruction:
1. On the picture provided, write/ draw symbols/ or paste pictures of all of your
strengths and talents/abilities- one strength or talent per root.
3. Some roots and branches should be left empty so that new elements can be added
as they happen in the future.
3. How does your self-realization affect your family? You may ask them in
answering this?
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.
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.
