 ACTUAL SELF
actualself, is the one that
you actually see. It is the
self that has characteristics
that you were nurtured or,
in some cases, born to
have.
The actual self is built
on self-knowledge.
Self-Knowledge is derived
from social interactions
that provide insight into
how others react to you.
The actual self can be seen
by others, but because we
have no way of truly
knowing how others view
us, the actual self is our
self-image.
Who Am I?
 For Socrates, the most
important thing to pursue was
self-knowledge, and admitting
one's ignorance is the
beginning of true knowledge.
 
For Plato, one of
Socrates' students, the
beginning of
knowledge is self-
knowledge.
In philosophical terms,
it is the being, which is
the source of a person's
consciousness. It is the
agent responsible for
an individual's thoughts
and actions.
"Self" is an intangible
entity that directs a
person's thoughts and
actions. It is outside the
physical realm of the
person.
 
The "Self" is the essence of a person: his
thoughts, feelings and actions, experiences,
beliefs, values, principles, and relationships.
 
The "Self" includes a
person's life
purpose, meaning,
and aspirations.

representation of one's identity, it is then defined in
terms of human characteristics such as behavior and
thought.
