Psychology & Neurodiversity

whats difference between self-esteem and self-confidence and self-actulization?

Where does a son stands where in his dad expresses that he does not like whatever he says, but has forgiven everything said.
Whilst the son has a habit of telling what he thinks Islam says, or what he usually thinks about things, he used to say it without filter, assuming pretty much due to past that, honest opinion matter, and expressing is better than not expressing.
Disagreement was told never to be an issue, expressing your mind was allowed.
He was raised to express.
Should now he hold back, coz every utterance is being considered wrong.
Despite serving all his grown up life. Meaning despite disagreement he did what his dad told him to do.
He only did few things against his will.
Like leaving an Riba based job
Not marrying into an "all paid" marriage from bride side
Not marrying on the pretext,she is gonna bring her naseeb.
Not competing civil service despite capabilities for the reason he had in his mind
Not succumbing to job against freelance/business/ taking care of his parents(including him obviously).
.
He used to pray that his son work in world Bank.

How wrong as a son I must be for being all that.

Should I do whatever he says, despite I feel it's not right.
Will I be accounted as I did due to him will that be acceptable?
Will I be liable for speaking.

The unseen core ....

𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀, 𝘄𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘂𝗽. 𝗡𝗼 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂

There are few statements that have been on my mind for quite some time

I'm not saying these statements are wrong, nor am I saying that their message is wrong. What I find interesting is their framing.

𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴, 𝘸𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘶𝘱. 𝘕𝘰 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶

At first glance, this sounds like a motivational quote. It appears to encourage women to become stronger and stand up for themselves.

But the more I thought about it, the more I noticed an interesting assumption built into its framing.

It seems to assume that a prince was supposed to come....but he didn't or he never will....so now the princess has no choice but to save herself.

But standing up for yourself shouldn't be necessary because someone else failed you or never showed up. It is a responsibility that exists regardless.

If in a particular situation, someone fails to fulfill their responsibility, then the problem isn't 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗲 as a whole . it is that specific individual. In that case, perhaps the sentence could be

𝑹𝒊𝒔𝒆, 𝑷𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒔𝒔. 𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒅 𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒈 𝒐𝒏𝒆

But using the failure of one character as the foundation for a message of self-empowerment feels to me, like a weaker framing.

As I reflected further, I realized that perhaps the real issue isn't whether the prince will come or not. The deeper question is

Why is the prince the starting point of the conversation in the first place?

Because standing up for yourself is necessary in both situations , whether a prince comes or not.

Respecting your own rights, taking responsibility for your decisions, choosing the right path, protecting yourself from destructive thinking, recovering after bad decisions, and working on self-awareness and personal growth these are responsibilities that belong to every individual, whether they are a prince or a princess.

To me, the quote feels as though it first assumes

𝑆𝑡𝑎𝑦 𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑎𝑟𝑒. 𝐴 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑒 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑠𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑦𝑜𝑢

Then it reacts by saying:

𝑁𝑜. 𝐴 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑖𝑠𝑛'𝑡 𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑔.

But in both versions, the focus remains on the prince.

One promotes waiting for him.

The other promotes not waiting for him.

Yet both still revolve around him.

Whereas the real issue isn't the prince at all.

It's personal responsibility......

I feel the problem with this quote isn't its message but its framing. In trying to strengthen one character, it subtly weakens another through an underlying assumption, even though the idea of self-reliance is just as powerful without making that assumption.

Cherish one another. Life is short, and tomorrow is never promised.

Without trust, there can be no loyalty, and without loyalty, there can be no true growth

I am 47 yrs old and want to change my carrier.
Is it possible to change career from an engineering background to psychology?

Are there any online courses to become a counsellor?
