Comments on: The Insanity of Defining the Self By Society http://kingdomofintroversion.com/2009/12/15/the-insanity-of-defining-the-self-by-society/ The World according to the 'introvert' and the 'nerd' Tue, 29 May 2012 13:45:07 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: unclegluon http://kingdomofintroversion.com/2009/12/15/the-insanity-of-defining-the-self-by-society/#comment-829 Sat, 05 Feb 2011 02:20:42 +0000 http://kingdomofintroversion.com/?p=502#comment-829 Self-defining is learning to tell apart just what is intrinsically you and what comes from the collective social world without.

It means clearly knowing a self apart from social roles and obligations.

Thus you may be a parent, a student, an accountant, a firefighter, a soccer player, wine drinker, an old person or a young person, rich or poor…
But who are YOU if all these outer identifications are stripped away?

How does self-defining lead to a state of well-being?
