situated self

The situated self refers to the idea that our sense of identity and who we are is shaped by our context and environment. It's the understanding that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are influenced by the social situations, cultural norms, and physical surroundings we are in at any given moment. Instead of seeing the self as a fixed, standalone entity, the situated self emphasizes that our identity is dynamic and closely connected to where and how we exist in the world. This perspective highlights the fluid, contextual nature of human identity.
