DEFINITION OF SELF-DETERMINATION
Myths about Self
The following are a few myths that are believed by almost
everyone. You must try to break free from the following
myths:
• I must please every one
• My value as a person depends on what others think of
me
• If I fail in a task, I am a failure
• To be a good person, I must help all those who seek my
help
• It is wrong to express anger
• I’d be considered weak if I express soft feelings in front
of others
• Do what others want to do most of the time
• Seek approval so much that it is a “must”
• Try to impress others
• Worry about being "popular" and pleasing everyone
• Let others make decisions for you
• Let others take care of you
• Worry about taking care of others' needs or feelings
more than you take care of your own
