It is my belief that much of what we believe to be valuable and worthwhile is a result of our closest connections. Growing up that means caregivers and parents, friends and peers. The traits and behaviors they promote and affirm to be worthwhile doing, likely gets ingrained into our own brains. In a Nurture meets Nature scenario, the result might either affirm one's predispositions, or it can create a scenario where one might have Self-Esteem issues, because of differing sources of Idealized Self-Image.
On one hand, one wants to be one way because that is what is taught... on the other hand, one wants to be another way based on one's own Inner Tendencies.
Resolving the differences becomes one of Life's Tasks.
