Psychology as a Science
focuses on the representation of an individual based on his/her experiences either from the home, school, and other groups, organizations, or affiliations he/she engaged in.
Psychology of self
This means you are an artistic person and a
dreamer. You are usually bursting with ideas and
vivid imagination that you like to share with
everyone. Being empathetic and considerate, you
are well aware of the feelings of the people around
you. Even though you are tolerant and patient, you
are surprisingly straightforward and always speak
the truth, but with sensitivity.
You leave no impressions on the tube
In this case, you are a person who’s usually in a rush
and always active. You might not come across as the
most organized person but you are very adaptive to
different situations. No matter what problem you’re in,you tend to find a solution for it without fail.
You are extremely talented when it comes to holding
interesting conversations. Charming a group of people
is no big deal for you. Even though you seem
off-balance sometimes, you surprise people with your
pragmatic side. You are the support system to a lot of
individuals and your loved ones as you are the most
emotionally stable person.
You squeeze the toothpaste from the middle
You never back out from a challenge and are always ready to go to any extent to reach your goals. Squeezing the toothpaste from the neck of the tube shows that you want to see results one way or the other, and fast. Very independent, you don’t like relying on others for your needs as you know you are
sufficient in all ways. You are a bit stubborn and selfish but only to the extent that you get your things done.
Confidence is the key to your success and you draw inspiration from yourself as you’re highly self-motivated. You do feel lonely sometimes because the fact that you keep to yourself tends to alienate you from others. You’re not a big fan of negative comments but once you accept it, you put all your
effort into making things better by growing beyond your weaknesses.
You squeeze the toothpaste from the top
As you work your way to the top of the toothpaste tube by rolling the bottom of the toothpaste, you project that you’re a perfectionist. You like to do things in a certain way while maintaining order. You are thrifty and also take care of all your possessions. You are a minimalist because you make sure that you use your possessions to their maximum potential. Hard work is your motto and so people trust you with responsibility with all their hearts and minds. You might be organized on the outside but sometimes you might be in pieces on the inside.
Responsibilities can be overwhelming for you in a few cases and you wish for someone to share your burden for a change.
You squeeze the toothpaste from the bottom
You are a person who might find it hard to be punctual and tidy all the time but you are a very artistic and creative person with something or the
other in your mind all the time. You don’t like to follow rules and believe that the world is full of possibilities and you’re the one meant to explore it.
You are open to new ideas and excited to learn new things. You have a childlike curiosity when it comes to new experiences and a very happy-go-lucky personality. When things don’t work out your way, you
only see them as stepping stones to something better. However, you can be quite unpredictable sometimes with sudden mood swings. People might complain about your attention span but it’s overlooked by the energy you bring into a room and the effort you put into making things right.
You squeeze the toothpaste out from anywhere

JAMES’ ASPECTS OF SELF:
I and Me Self
is the thinking, acting, and feeling self (Gleitman et.al.
2011; Hogg and Vaughan 2010).
The self that knows and recognizes who they are and what they have done. It is similar to the person’s soul or mind; it comprises the totality of the person’s identity; it takes into account the past, present and future
selves of the individual.
ex. I borrowed the book from the library. I won the game.
I Self
it is the physical characteristics as well as
psychological capabilities that makes who you are (Gleitman et.al. 2011;
Hogg and Vaughan 2010).
It can also be considered as a separate object or individual that the person refers to when discussing or describing their personal experiences.
ex. The gifts were sent to ME.
The person is smiling at ME.
Me self
“The curios paradox is that when i accept myself just i am, then i can change”
Carl Rogers
prominent figure in humanistic psychology, primarily focused on concepts such as self-actualization, unconditional positive regard, and the client-centered (or person-centered) approach in
therapy.
Although his work is rooted in humanistic psychology,
it has connections to cognitive constructs, particularly
self-concept.
He was one of the first to use the term client rather
than patient.
Carl Rogers
Carl Rogers’ Theory of personality also used the same terms,
the “I” is ________________ , while the “me” is ________________________-
one who acts and decides, what you think or feel about yourself as an object
