Safeguarding Tendencies
- Excuses
- Aggression
- Withdrawal
- Most common
- Typically express in the “yes, but” or “if only” (hesitant, nagdadalawang isip ka kasi ayaw mong magmukhang tamad o mapilli ganon?)
- Protect a weak – but artificially inflated – sense of self-worth and deceive people into believing that they are more superior than they really are.
Excuses

- used to safeguard exaggerated superiority complex
- Depreciation (chismis, pninira sa iba)
- Accusation (paninisi sa iba)
- Self-Accusation (sarili ang sinisi)
Aggression
- Running away from difficulties
- Safeguarding through distance
- Some people unconsciously escape life’s problems by setting up a distance between themselves and those problems
Withdrawal
- Tendency to safeguard one’s fictional goal of superiority by psychologically reverting to a more secure period of life
- Similar to Freud’s concept of regression in that both involve attempts to return to earlier, more comfortable phases of life
- Moving backward
- Similar to moving backward but, in general, it is not as severe
- Simply do not move in any direction; thus, avoid all responsibility by ensuring themselves against any threat of failure
- Standing Still
- Closely related to standing still
- Most compulsive behaviors are attempts to waste time
- Second-guessing, nagpapatagal lang ng oras
- Hesitating
- Founded the school of thought – Analytic Psychology
