Question

"I am one who easily gets hurt," is an example of which aspect of 'Self'?

• A. Self as a 'subject'
• B. Self as an 'object'
• C. Self as a 'knower'
• D. Self as a 'known'

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The statement "I am one who easily gets hurt" reflects the self as an 'object'. In this context, the self is viewed from an external perspective, where the individual assesses their own emotional sensitivity and vulnerability. This means they are reflecting on how others might perceive them or how they perceive their own reactions to external events.

This contrasts with the self as a 'subject', which involves the individual’s experiences and thoughts from a first-person perspective. The self as a subject is about personal experience, internal thoughts, and the way one perceives and interacts with the world.
