I'm convinced that if we don't define ourselves, other people will do it for us, and inaccurately.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't like defining myself. I just am.
It's so tedious that everyone must be defined.
Don't let others define you. You define yourself.
Often we're recreating what we think we're supposed to be as human beings. What we've been told we're supposed to be, instead of who we authentically are. The key about the creation of full self-expression is to be authentically who you are, to project that.
I've tried actively to define myself and redefine myself, and not be pigeonholed.
Our sense of self is a kind of construct. It is in some ways like a novel, and it's like a fabric of fictions that we patch together from memory.
I understand people have preconceived notions of who I am or what I do.
I often worry that my idea of personhood is nostalgic, irrational, inaccurate.
I try not to define myself. Other people are going to do that for you anyway.
I think that we should all be defined by our work and our results.
