  How To Express Yourself Have you paused at some point in your life to think "How do you share yourself with others?" As individuals, we all have special traits that make us unique from others. The same way we have our methods or preferred style of sharing some parts of ourselves with everyone around us. The level with which you relate with everyone around you is different.

But “ Who am I ?”, which can also be interpreted as “ What is my iden tity?” is birth-forth out of our ego.  Ego can be described as the combination of three special elements of the human psyche. What view do you have about yourself (self-image)? What value do you place on yourself (self-esteem)? And also what, beliefs and ideologies do you associate yourself with (self...
