In recent years, the MBTI personality test has become extremely popular on social media. However, I believe that labelling oneself in this way is a form of ‘objectifying the self’, or rather, I find it utterly nonsensical—I completely reject the so-called MBTI test, which categorises people’s personalities through a series of questionnaires. This has led me to reflect on the themes of self and individuality.
I am an introverted person, and throughout my growth, I often let those around me down. Family and classmates frequently compared me to others—whether in grades, personality, appearance, or other traits. I believe this is a common experience for most people. Yet, after years of growth and life experiences, even if I cannot claim to be outstanding, I have come to accept this as ‘me’. I may never satisfy everyone, but I believe I’ve done my best to avoid disappointing myself.
Through this project, I aim to pay tribute to ‘the self’—not just myself, but to anyone who seeks self-reconciliation. Rather than fixating on others’ opinions, I advocate for living authentically, embracing one’s true nature.
