By the learning of concept for perception, we know the perception is the process by which individuals organize and interpret their impressions to give meaning of their environment. So that what we perceive can be substantially different from objective reality. In addition, people’s behaviour is based on their perception of what reality is, not on reality itself. When we look at a “target”, our interpretation of what we are see is heavily influenced by our personal characteristics—attitudes, motives, interests, past experiences, and expectations.
Therefore, we can say the world is actually subjective in our eyes. More daringly, we might can try to make a guess which is every single person can change themselves to a better one as long as they want to and have the courage to do so. Your past is not the reason of your success or failure. We shouldn’t let the experience decide our ego, but endow the meaning of our experience. We have the initiative of our self-fashioning. It is a right way for us to changing ourselves to a better one.
Further more, I want to bring up an idea is totally against the Determinism in philosophy, which is Teleology. Determinism believes the idea that every event is necessitated by antecedent events and conditions together with the laws of nature(1). But teleology is the explanation of phenomena by the purpose they serve rather than by postulated causes.(2) So that people’s status quo is not determined by their past experience, but their perception of past experience. This world not exists psychological trauma cannot be overcomes. All of the trauma is created by patient themselves in purpose to achieve their goals, which is the effects of trauma. Usually there is a fictional final goal which can be deciphered alongside of innumerable sub-goals. The inferiority/superiority dynamic is constantly at work through various forms of compensation and overcompensation. It’s a kind of like the backward induction of behaviour analysis.
For some reasons which can bring them benefits, people endow their past with a negatively affect of their life. Sometimes it’s a sense of fear to challenge a new lifestyle so they refuse to integrate into society and purposely magnified the negative impact on their experience into misfortune as the excuse. But actually, we can redefine everything you get to experience and make it affect your life in a positive way.
For the further explanation of the teleology and the new way of thinking about the world I will put on the next blog due to the word limit. For the first blog, we only brought up the idea of taking no account of our experience. Because the world in our mind is subjective, your success or failure is not decided by your past but what you want to understanding of your past. Stop using your misfortune as the excuse of your escape behaviors, trying to have the courage to face all of the things. You can change everything, which includes your introverted personality. More specific discussion on the “changing everything” will be putted on the next Blog 😀
