What You Say Matters?

Words are very powerful, and sometimes the words we use offend people. Freedom of speech is highly valued but what happens when your freedom becomes hurtful or disrespectful to someone else? There are so many different kinds of people and different things that offend each person. In this day where we are more inclined to say whatever we want, we see more and more offense being taken to the words that get said. It's hard to understand why certain words can be insulting to someone when it may not seem that way to you. We have to ask ourselves, why do we care what other people say and should we censer everything that goes into the public just so people don't get offended?

Individuals fail in life due to their inability to be true to their emotions. According

Most of the time it is how you grew up. Seeing things through a child's eye is a whole lot different than an adults, but in a way it's the same. If you had a troubling childhood most likely your beliefs about yourself will reflect that. Key things that are major are "what you saw, heard and experienced in your childhood"(Overcoming.co.uk). "Systematic punishment, neglect, abused, abounded"(Overcoming.co.uk) can take a huge toll on anyone. Different people hate them selfs for different things, some body shame themselves and other people. If you were to give a compliment they might take that as offensive because they are aware of them self and what they think someone thinks of them. Others people take opinion from social media."Failing to meet peers or group standards"(Overcoming.co.uk). "Being the odd one out, at home or at school"(Coming.co.uk). "Kids who get bullied, intimidated, or are in a abusive relationship are more likely to suffer from traumatic events"(Overcoming.co.uk). You can eventually fall into low self esteem. People who end up with self esteem problems have to use strategies to help them with everyday life, like therapy, some people shut others out, and some use medication. If not properly medicated you could go rouge and potentially become a serial killer, or have similar

Our emotions in many cases affect our perception of events as well as the actions that we take ourselves by permeating our way of thinking, and therefore affecting each thing that we do in that moment. In particular, emotions about the perception of ourselves have been shown to have both the ability to positively and negatively affect our actions and performances in life. This is what can be

Humans are judgmental creatures. One of our most significant philosophy is “not judging a book by its cover”, which examines our habit to judge. We did not purposely develop this questionable characteristic; we seem to have been with this evolutionary trait. We judge everything as a survival instinct to protect ourselves; the perception we create from our personal opinions determine whether we believe something is friendly or foe. As with everything, we judge ourselves, and we tend to be our biggest critic. We constantly judge ourselves, but why? People have referred to this type of judgement as self-esteem. Self-esteem is measured by how positive we view ourselves: the more positive our perception of our self, the higher our self-esteem and

Keep in mind that what's going on outside you is a result of what's going on INSIDE you. What self-limiting belief do you have about your skills and abilities? Take stock and be honest with yourself. The average person has 50,000 to 60,000 thoughts a day. When we talk to ourselves about "ourselves," much of that self-talk is negative. We are usually our harshest critic. As the saying goes, "How many times in a day do we 'should' all over ourselves with everything that we 'should' be doing?!" Always remember...strive for progress, not

When we communicate we influence how others view us and we create an impression, when we receive opinions from others especially our significant other it influences how we feel about ourselves and helps create our self-concept. The reaction of others, your comparison with others, the social roles you play, and the groups of people you identify with all contribute to the development of your self-concept. According to Bevan and Sole part of the way you construct your self-concept is by choosing to accept or reject what other people tell you about yourself. Your self-concept is influenced by the people you surround yourself with and by what they tell you, to keep a positive self-concept it is helpful to surround yourself with someone who is positive and who speaks highly of you. You both must lift each other up and help each other to feel great about yourselves. “To grow and learn about yourself, you must be open-minded about other people 's opinions,” (Bevan and Sole 2014). Your opinions of each other mean a great deal to how you both feel about your selves and how you perceive yourselves. Your self-concept is how you feel about yourself but if you are told everyday of your life that you are ugly you will eventually think that you are a bit ugly, but if you are told you are beautiful you will think you are beautiful. Don’t ever put each other down even if it is unintentionally, always think before you speak! You can criticize or tell one another your thoughts and opinions

Don't shut down your emotions. Embrace them. Your emotions are your compass telling you whether or not you are on track. Use them to help cultivate your passions or motivate you to change situations and circumstances that hold you back from achieving your goals." - Julian Michaels

One will either come out of a situation with a positive or negative concept of these surroundings. Poor communication can cause one to have a poor perception of oneself. One's emotional state, dislikes, likes values and body image are affected by the opinions of others and can render one to have an inferior and insecure self-concept.

How do you view yourself? How do you think others view you? These questions are central to the idea of self- concept how you perceive yourself and how you believe others perceive you impacts your thoughts and ideas your actions and reactions. Your-self concept developed over years through your social interactions with your fellow man. It is what you believe to be your strength and weaknesses. Years of self- evaluation and comparisons to your peers helped to paint the internal picture you feel describe your best.

If someone tells you, you look beautiful, its because they themselves feel beautiful and they feel like sharing their contentment with others, it goes for haltered. If someone says they hate you, it’s not you they hate but something they hate about themselves that they see in you. So taking what others say personally wont help you at all it will only cause unwanted stress and anger.

When we say “love yourself”, it’s often in response to someone spilling their guts revealing their shortcomings and fears. First of all, let me say that I don’t think people mean to be trite or cliche when they deliver the phrase, but that is often the result. It is at best, insulting and frustrating to the listener (who probably already has immense insecurities). It’s like (to quote Taylor Swift) trying to fix a bullet wound with a Band-Aid. It’s so incapable of doing any real good it’s laughable. I don’t know that loving yourself is bad advice, but I think it’s incomplete. It’d be like giving someone a mathematic equation, with

Divergent By: Veronica Roth 1. Explain the significance of the book’s title The title of my book is Divergent it’s associated with the main character Tris, it’s what the aptitude test showed she was. To be divergent is to fit into more than one of the five factions. Their society is all about conformity to your own faction; to fit into more than one is very uncommon.

If one has poor self-concept and sees oneself as unworthy then they will present themselves this way, which will result in a negative response from people. If one feels good about oneself, they will present themselves as worthy, which will result in a more positive response from people. The perceptions, beliefs and attitudes that steam from self-concept, will affect one's social surroundings. One will either come out of a situation with a positive or negative concept of these surroundings. Poor communication can cause one to have a poor perception of oneself. One's emotional state, dislikes, likes values and body image are affected by the opinions of others and can render one to have an inferior and insecure self-concept.

Years ago I read a passage in a book by: “Louise L. Hay” she said; every morning you can get up and look in the mirror and decide what kind of day you are going to have.” The beauty of it is, you can get up the following morning and decide all over again. This is a powerful statement, letting us know we have the power to control our feelings and shape our outlook on life. If you are telling yourself positive things, it will help you build a positive self-esteem.
