Self-labeling: What You Allow Yourself To Believe
Research the term ‘self-labeling’ and you may wish you hadn’t as it is quite a complex field in human psychology and ‘self-labeling theory’ is often referred to in relation to psychiatric conditions and deviant behaviour. When referring to self-labeling here, the term is used in connection with mentally well people who use labeling, not in order to acknowledge some condition they may have and are dealing with (which is an admirable quality), but rather as a handy excuse for not taking actions required to bring about the changes they desire at a deeper level.
