Do You Identify With Stereotypes?

Labeling theory states that 𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧-𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘺 and 𝘣𝘦𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘰𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘥𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘴 is influenced by the terms used to describe or classify them.⁣

⁣

It’s in the same social bubble as 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐲 and 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐨𝐭𝐲𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠.⁣

⁣

If you give yourself or other labels, then you and others start to 𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘤𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘭𝘺 mold into those labels.⁣

⁣

For example, victimizing yourself! When you label yourself as a 𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘮, then you will not actively seek to change yourself or the situation for the better. How could you when you are the 𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘮 and the situation is therefore out of your control? That doesn’t help you get ahead in life or solve the problem, it just traps you.
