The Emergence of Personality

The Emergence of Personality

What is a personality? Personality arises when certain values can be attributed to a person, that is, to an individual actor.


For example:

• He is kind.
• She is very helpful.

But how does it come about that we evaluate a person in such a way?


If we look internally at our emotions, concepts like personality and ego suddenly lose their significance. However, communication is an essential part of our experience, whether in personal exchanges or in the realm of emotions.


If there were only one actor, it would not be possible for them to learn anything about their own personality, as there would be no personal exchange. They might be able to express themselves, but there would be no feedback. Additionally, their ability to express themselves would be limited since they would have no fellow beings with whom to communicate.


Thus, it can be concluded that humans need other humans whom they can understand in order to be understood themselves—only in this way can they learn something about themselves.


When two actors, two conscious entities, meet, both parties react to the expressions of the other. Intuitively, humans are capable of interpreting the state of another person even in the absence of active interaction, simply by observing body language.


A person's internal reaction is closely linked to their mindset, which determines how they respond to external actions. For example, one person might find a joke amusing, while another might consider it inappropriate. The reason for these differing reactions lies in the ego of individuals.


Judgments, prejudices, morality, and memory—all these factors influence how a person behaves in a particular way.


Human expression is complex, allowing for the exchange of many emotions and ideas. The reactions to these are diverse and affect each individual actor differently. Depending on how positively we perceive something, we may feel motivated either to support it or to adopt characteristics that are perceived as positive.


Through constant exchange, roles emerge within the shared "we" of the actors. Within this social construct, the actors begin to familiarize themselves with one another, thereby gaining a deeper understanding of both others and themselves.


Interestingly, this is an emergent phenomenon, and personality cannot be firmly tied to a single actor. In different social scenarios or groups, a person may behave quite differently because they are perceived differently by others.


Thus, one could argue that the appearance of personality is always dependent on the perspectives present in a given scenario. The interaction of different agents influences the experience of each individual, allowing them to ascribe values to themselves. This makes the actions of the actors individually assessable, as it leads to the formation of moral values and ethical standards.


Ultimately, all outcomes are tied to the current state—the initial conditions of each individual.

Thanks for the share @LoreX and welcome!

Personality is such an enigma ..

How is it that we are separate beings anyway?
Where and when did this talk of supposed individuality ever originate?

As you infer, it may very well depend on those 'initial conditions'.
Condition-ings, one might say.
Or con-sciousness even.

I think its how we look at things. We can look at ourselves and realize the unity in the self, or maybe even the lonelyness, yet we are able to distinguish ourselves as different agents in a realistic way. we can communicate it, so atleast there has to be some individual thought... or is there... hahaha...

 

[CommonConduit]

We do talk and write a lot!
Doesn’t have to mean we’re communicating ..

I don’t feel super-confident claiming thoughts as ‘my own’. I’d rather claim that they occur, or arise?

 

[bIRD_]

that too, but im also able to come up with something actively, rite

 

[CommonConduit]

If you say so!
Yes, we do usually go about life telling ourselves that.
I’m fine with the notion of free will, but also with the idea that it’s something ‘coming through’.

YES ~ this exchange here... what a beautiful observation.

They might be able to express themselves, but there would be no feedback.

Yes, the feedback, of the feedback, of the feedback... this is what I feel like books, and online socials, and music, and art all are lacking, is simply a lack of feedback and responsiveness to-and-with us which is what we are truly seeking. Is feedback, and feedback, and feedback. a sense of deep vast detailed relationship.

Thus, it can be concluded that humans need other humans whom they can understand in order to be understood themselves—only in this way can they learn something about themselves.

While I do feel like our literal sense of humanity and being human does require us to be in intimate, extended re-lationship/contact with other humans in person, I also feel like to understand yourself is also so be in a feedback relationship dance with the rest of the universe, thoughts, feelings, dreams, and emotions, etc. So while yes, I do like to add the extended relationship of the universe and your past writ large, not just humans.

A person's internal reaction is closely linked to their mindset, which determines how they respond to external actions.

Yes, this is a such a cool observation that I really love. I often feel like your mindset determines not only HOW you respond, but what you are capable of noticing in the first place(!!)

Through constant exchange, roles emerge within the shared "we" of the actors. Within this social construct, the actors begin to familiarize themselves with one another, thereby gaining a deeper understanding of both others and themselves

Yes, here you bring up not only the initial action-reaction of between us, but also, the protracted, ever evolving, expanding, unfolding nature it can take on. You are always reacting to the person as deeply as you have come to know them up to that point! Your dance becomes ever deeper and greater.

personality cannot be firmly tied to a single actor.

Yes, personality is tied to two actors, you and me, so personality is you-me. Personality(as you use this word) is somehow USness. YouMeNess. What is that divine sense?

Thus, one could argue that the appearance of personality is always dependent on the perspectives present in a given scenario. The interaction of different agents influences the experience of each individual, allowing them to ascribe values to themselves. This makes the actions of the actors individually assessable, as it leads to the formation of moral values and ethical standards.

I'm not sure what you meant by the last two sentences here because you started going back into describing 'individually assessable' actors separately from each other, and following through by saying something like 'the initial conditions of each individual' which you said before don't exist without the other to be in relationship with.

Individuation means divided within so, if we are individuals, are we divided from each other?

I feel like for me "the initial conditions of each individual" is what I would call 'this moment'. So when I read that, I feel like I'm perpetually taking a step forward from my initial condition (this moment) into some sort of greater dance with you. My morality and ethical standards don't exist, because with every step that I take closer, a new 'initial condition'/'moment' forms. How can I go against my feelings? How can I go against WHAT IS? I am bound by the law of ever evolving sensitivity. I feel like I cannot unsee, cannot un-sense what was, and what is, and what will be. What touches me I AM. always, in reaction to ~

How can I develop a moral value and ethical standard of how to react to you? Let's say you come to my house and we are having a coffee chat, do you want me to react to YOU in that moment? or do you want me to ignore who and what you are being, and act off of prescribed morals? I dont' think you'd like that as much. I wouldn't. I want people to really see how I feel, I want them to really hear my voice and see my eyes! So I trust that just seeing and hearing you is enough, since the body reacts automatically to stimulus. Trust your body. It knows how to dance with what is.

the last moral law which can be put into language in my book is then ~ to witness




What do you think? thank you for the wonderful post luv, it really resonated.

I hope one could enjoy that moment, instead of projecting arbitrary expectations into the situation unrestful people can be challenging
