Personal Pride: How Do You See Yourself?
posted about 12 years ago
Do you generally think of yourself as smarter than most people? Wiser? More kind? More respectful/respectable? More knowledgeable? Better in general? More moral? More personally responsible? More mature?
Does how you see yourself vary depending on which spheres of your daily life you happen to be moving in? (friends, strangers on the street, your family, your community, your academic peers, your professional competition, the public at large)
This thread is about reflecting and being honest, since careful introspection can actually be very interesting and helpful in learning more about oneself. The nature of doing so in public makes one vulnerable to others, so if sharing what you think about how you relate to others in any of these aspects makes you uncomfortable, don't feel obligated to share. Just don't use this as an opportunity to be rudely critical of someone else. Let's try to stay on topic.
The reason for this thread: I'm bored and I want to have some philosophical discussion again. I'm getting a little snoozy at the recent political threads and threads about lost items. (smirk) Not much to talk about there, you know?
Let's have at it!
