Question 2

What are the purposes of the different types of selves?

Accepted Answer

The different types of selves serve various purposes in our lives. The social self, for example, helps us navigate our interactions with others and understand our place in society. It allows us to adapt our behavior and communication style to different social situations. The private self, on the other hand, is more introspective and helps us understand our own thoughts, feelings, and desires. It allows us to develop a sense of identity and self-awareness.

The ideal self serves as a motivational tool, driving us to work towards becoming the best version of ourselves. It represents our aspirations and goals, and can inspire us to make positive changes in our lives. The public self is the image we present to the world, and it can be influenced by societal expectations and norms. It helps us manage our reputation and how others perceive us.
