00:00 OP
00:40 The mind is a brain phenomenon
02:54 Being yourself
06:49 Why can't I be myself?
08:19 How to discover your true self

Today, I'd like to make a video about "being yourself."

What is being yourself?

I'd like to make a video on the theme of how to find your true self.

■The Mind is a Brain Phenomenon

First of all, how do psychiatrists perceive being themselves? Surprisingly, psychiatry doesn't often discuss personality or one's strengths and weaknesses.

In psychiatry, the mind, self, and personality are brain phenomena.
How do brain phenomena occur? There are elements: DNA, a blueprint, and genes, a mass of proteins created based on these blueprints—the brain, in other words.
On top of that hardware, there's memory, in other words, knowledge and experience. Software called memory, filled with knowledge and experience, is installed.

And then there's external stimuli.
Stimuli from memory are called internal stimuli, but the opposite is external stimuli. We think of the waking state as the mind.

It's like a memory is stimulated in your brain, and you think about something, or even if you close your eyes and dream, you dream from memory.
Or maybe various phenomena occur in your head based on the information you see with your eyes, the surrounding circumstances that enter your eyes and ears. It's a combination of things.

■Being yourself

When it comes to being yourself, looking at this diagram, I think it probably refers mainly to DNA and memory.
It's your innate talents, aptitudes, constitution, whether you're physically strong or not, whether you're timid, and your body, which is shaped by the genes you inherited from your parents.

And then there's your learning experiences. What you've acquired through learning. I think the combination of these two things makes up who you are. Generally speaking.

However, your personality changes as you age, and nothing stays consistent.
That's because circumstances change. When circumstances change, a person's personality and way of being change quite a bit, so I guess that's just how it is.

For example, changing your job title. It might be hard for students to understand, but when a person's position changes, the way they behave changes.

Someone who was unreliable suddenly seems reliable, and conversely, when a reliable person suddenly becomes a leader, they may resort to self-preservation, so I think that's what's fascinating about humans.

What it means to be yourself is when your DNA, memory, and the situation all fit together.
I think being yourself is a state in which your strengths, or rather, a match between yourself and the situation, allows you to be yourself.

For example, someone who is athletic and has played sports can become a professional athlete. That's a match. However, someone who is not athletic but has always played sports and ended up at a strong sports school.
That's not fun, is it? It's a mismatch.

You may love studying and have always studied, but a job that requires physical activity, like becoming an athlete, wouldn't suit you. On the other hand, becoming a scholar would suit you.

This is a situation in which you can be yourself.

To go a little further, this is what it's generally said.
Aim for a place where what you're good at, what you want to do, and what society wants all overlap. People often say this kind of job is good.
They're also told that it's a good place to be, and that it allows you to be yourself.

For example, say you have a talent for languages ​​and have always watched comedy. You love comedy, so you end up doing a bit of niche comedy.
It's fine to say that being an underground comedian is a good thing, but it's rude to say that it's not really needed by society, but it does exist.

On the other hand, say you're good with words, have watched comedy, or become a salesperson, and because it's a job that society wants, you'll become very wealthy.

There are many people who have retired from being comedians and become successful in society, and th...
