Selfhood

Selfhood refers to the sense of being a distinct, continuous entity with a unique identity. It encompasses your awareness of yourself as the same person over time, shaped by your thoughts, feelings, memories, and choices. Selfhood involves both your subjective experience—how you perceive yourself—and how you relate to the world around you. It helps differentiate you from others and provides a sense of personal continuity. Understanding selfhood helps clarify how we see ourselves, maintain identity across different contexts, and navigate our social and personal lives.
