Self concept paper final

Self Concept Paper
IV. The Blind Self
My college years have been really tough what I thought about myself to be a reserved and
self-contained person but I was rather an open book for my friends, family and my college
mates. I never imagined myself as a keen observer of minute details in people but my friends
noticed this trait in me. My family’s views about myself were very staggering as they thought
I need a constant motivation and push to achieve my goals and also constant reminder of
what my goals really are. Some of my friends have always praised about my wicked sense of
humor which I never thought I had any. My college mates also complained about my very
low attention span that I can’t focus on one thing for too long which was strangely true about
myself as I analyzed this about myself. One thing that was quite surprising for me that all my
friends and family think that I am very creative and mostly think out of the box.
They also complained that I never stand for my right and mostly let people take advantage of
me. According to my parents I am very helping but I also expect same kind of assistance
from others which in today’s world is really dumb to assume. They also think I am not
hardworking and always look for shortcuts to complete my tasks which is totally true about
me. During my classes I mostly pileup things and get panicked at the end of the semester this
is what my friends have noticed about me and I guess they are totally right. I seem to be a
humble down to earth person according to some of my college mates and they also think that
I work on a lot of hope and a lot less on hard work.
V. The Unknown Self
I have always desired to be a person who is so transparent as a human. And to get at a certain
place where I can be totally free of everyday stressors. I don’t want a person who has some
kind of power over anyone else. And similarly, no one has a power over me. Moreover, I
want to emotionally stable, I want myself surrounded by close group of friends and family
who genuinely care about me. I want certain things permanent in my life namely
relationships, happiness and health. I want a life with a routine and an abstract time schedule
for my daily essential chores and manage time well that I have enough time for my family
and friends all this summed up what all I want is a well-balanced life. I want to be reason for
smiles on a lot of faces. As I am a creative person I want to create something of my own and
give it an identity.
