Your ideal self? (4 the people who have an interest in pschological debates! )

Well the way I see it, is that when you are not who you want to be, it can be upsetting. For example: If I want to become less selfish, but as this want increases, I start becoming more selfish, it is going to make me feel badly about myself. The same goes with psychical appearences. If I want to be thin, but eat so much that I gain 10 pounds, its going to effect me psychologically. Sometimes this happens if your ideal self is unrealistic. People need to learn to exept themselves for who they really are, rather than trying to change themselves.
