Interesting. Thanks. Have not had a chance to read it all yet.
I am not trained in psychology. My belief is that we learn early on in life and receive constant reinforcement from society that to be inferior in some way is usually bad, even dangerous and we develop our own strategies to minimize our weaknesses and maximize our strengths, in order to optimize our material and social success.
We learn to care very much what other people think of us because that is what we have been taught to do.
I am very interested in techniques that allow one to keep the influence of the groups in which one operates in a healthy perspective, a sort of accept it, deal with it but don't be adversely dominated by it mind set, if you will. |
