Possessions
Home » Identity  » Possessions
Let's talk about the most outward layer of your sense of self - possessions! Things. They're not really you at all, but the more you identify with them, the more they contribute to your sense of self. Common possessions which contribute to people's sense of self include:
  • Clothes
  • Cars
  • Homes
  • Phones
  • Toys
  • Romantic partners (if they think of them as objects and not individuals)
If you don't identify with any of your possessions, then maybe you've very mature and well-grounded in deeper sources of meaning. On the other hand, maybe you're missing out on one more source of identity which could increase your confidence and life satisfaction! Stay tuned as we create more videos, pages, quizzes, and other resources to help you explore (and design!) who you really are!
