Ep 60: The problem with identities and labels
Having labels and identities is a difficult one. It does help others relate to you and vice versa. However, at the same time, labels can create a stereotypical view on a certain person before you fully know someone. Which is an unhealthy habit.
Also, in Dr. Gabor Maté’s interview with Jay Shetty on On Purpose podcast, he mentioned that there are no healthy identifications. This is because, when you identify yourself with a label, you limit yourself. However if you forget the labels or and look beyond a societal identity. Being able to find your core purpose & goal behind what you do is much more meaningful.
In the episode we discuss some of the labels we’ve been categorised under and discuss how we felt about these identities. One common which I'm sure all asians have heard of is “You’re asian so you must be good at maths”.
