- In Psych Terms we attempt to describe and define potentially confusing psychological terms while illustrating examples to best visualize it.
In this video we describe three related terms: the id, ego, and superego by offering examples and metaphors that will help you in visualizing them!
Music ruins this otherwise informative video.
To me it doesnt riun it, but yes, the music is very loud and irritating....
How? The music is sexy!
Truee
@@pengo1560 sexy... like the drawings?
@PsychU please please please reupload a version without the music T_T
My Id says to low down the volume , my superego says (to my ID)what ungrateful and my Ego says thanks for the information
Do any of them tell you to pay attention in school so you don't become an illiterate adult??
@@DiffEQ bruh 😭💀
The sound overpowers the voice of the one explaining.
I know. had to quit after 2 minutes.
I read that in a robot voice
My ego is begging to bitch slap the person that picked that song!!!
id: your wants, needs and desires (mostly hidden in your unconscious)
superego: rules and regulations on behaviour and morality, learned and internalised from the external world
ego: autonomous driver in regulating your behaviour and acting as a mediator between the id and the superego
So Ego, Superego and Id are the classic image of a person with an angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other.
3 months late but yes
the only difference is that this is real
@@yamerabufakher4854 No its not. Freud was not a scientist and the psychoanalytic theory is baseless drivel. There is literally zero evidence for its validity
@@kenmken on what basis
@@yamerabufakher4854 On the basis that there is literally no evidence for this theory. No research showing such things actually exist or that this is how we operate. You're free to look it up yourself. The psychoanalytic theory is much more a (faulty) philosophical school than a scientific one
Your ID is not selfish. It is your caged inner child. Your spark. Your courage. Your courages spark that chose to live. Like an infant, it reacts when its basic human needs of connection, attention, nourishment, safety etc aren't met. It's what causes trauma.
We are not selfish for having needs. We need to learn how to recognise and understand our physical habits and patterns that we feel and express when our needs are in jeopardy again.
The superego is the one that's actually bad. The power hungry. The materialistic. The superego cages and traumatises our ID (the inner child). The traumatised ID shows itself whenever we hesitate to follow or not to trust our gut instinct. The superego taught us not to trust ourselves due to years of gaslighting. The superego kills the courage of the ID. In addition, our ID has been starved of care, so now we are completely exposed to the superego. The superego persuades us to do bad things. When we do bad things, we're either fully aware and in denial, or so far detached from our ID that we are completely unaware of the damage that we, not only cause, but also the trauma we unwillingly pass on to others . The superego says 'Knowledge is Power'. Whereas the ego says 'Knowledge is Freedom.'
The ego is wisdom. When you think to yourself 'I should have known better.' That's the ego. That's the "angel" on your shoulder. That's your gut instinct. And the more knowledge you gain, the freer you will become.
If you don't know that you're in a cage, the people who built it have power over you.
However, if you have the knowledge of the cage, you can find courage to escape it.
Whenever you turn away from, belittle, or laugh at someone who could share genuinely important knowledge with you, beware that that's your superego. Your superego doesn't want you to gain knowledge and subsequently your freedom.
Whenever you're tempted to turn away like that, notice your superego, and allow your ego to come out and be curious. Stay curious and have the courage to follow your gut.
@Claudia ferraro
I can't express it in words how beautiful your explanation of Id, ego and superego is. For the first time, I think that I should pursue psychology ahead for my studies in university,
So correct me if I'm wrong,
But super ego as you said isn't as saint as everyone makes us believe it to be, it is the social construct but again society can make us believe all kinds of stuff be it right or wrong, appropriate or inappropriate, discrimination or love.
Id is your caged inner child, as you said, it does work on the principal of pleasure and instincts though, it wants what it desires immediately like a child, it doesn't think about all the moral obligations that come along the way of being impatient or impulsive. And Ego like a guardian angel tries to mediate between the two and make them both come to a common conclusion.
So if someone doesn't let go of their notions about a person or let's say hold grudges against them would you say they let their Id takeover their ego? Or their superego takeover their ego?
@@km143ps I am glad you found my comment useful. I have been tasked to critic the Chimp Paradox by Steve Peters. I will share it with you when it is done, as this isn't something that I can explain in one brief RUclips comment. It's much more complex than this as a lot has to do with our upbringing and childhood trauma.
In short, due to our upbringing we've lost touch with our gut instinct, the Ego. Without our gut instinct, the ID is lost and therefore has no courage to take action and make decisions. So, we have to follow what we've been taught. And what have we been taught? Be better, more beautiful richer, more famous, have more, spend more.. because apparently who you are isn't good enough. We live in this fantasy that if just this or that was different, we would be happy. But we're not really happy. And that way of living is very superego based.
I've learned that reconnecting to myself and especially my bodily sensations has taught me to listen to my body's signals, rather than ruminating in my head. The book 'My grandmother's hands' by Resmaa Menakem has helped me tremendously with that.
Once you learn to understand the language of your body, your ID will feel safe enough and therefore have the courage to take action according to your gut instinct, the Ego.
To compare it to the legend of Zelda's triforce: your ID is courage (Link), your Ego is wisdom (Zelda, the embodiment of the goddess Hylia), and your Superego is Power (Ganon).
In body parts I'd say that the ID is your heart. It needs love and safety. The Ego is in your gut. It tells you what's right from what's wrong. And the Superego is your brain. It can only function properly if it is in harmony with the rest of your body.
If this doesn't make sense, it will, soonish...
@@c.ferraro I'll gladly wait till it's done!
@@km143ps I've lengthened my reply slightly. To give you a very summarised answer.
@@c.ferraro nothing has made more sense in my life than this, Thank you for this amazing and detailed answer,
I don't know you but the power you have in your words, you should try writing a book about how you said you reconnected with your body once you listened to it.
Have a great life Claudia! Thank you:)
reduce background music please
so the superego is a waffle wearing a cape
😂 leggo my eggo (ego)
Cynthia Douglas lol that just hit me towards the end! 🤯 mind blown. I will finally remember this
it be like that
@@Midwestgothicc Yes very much so
Freud was very specific about that part, yes.
Hey love the music bit is is a bit distracting. Try playing slower music or more calm. It is so so great info thanks
Everyone crapping on about the music is so unnecessary. You can clearly see that he did what he could to post this information. His drawing skills aren't on par either but he got his message across. I was honestly laughing at the little referee drawing with the mustache. I'm glad this video exists. It helped me study for my exam and understand Freud's weird theory was about. I didn't even realize the music was "loud and distracting" until I read the comments.
I keep my Id in my wallet.
WHOS HERE FROM THE GAME ALTER EGO
Me.
Me as well
Me
Meeeee~ ;-;
I am.
Great explanation but had to stop watching due to the background music
This helped me a lot on my AP Psychology project! Thank you for the info!
So the term 'ego' is misused in common vernacular, used in a way that more reflects the whims of the id?
Good point
I don’t think so. I think the ego has become subservient to the id in our culture of gratification and pleasure above all else. It will either serve one or the other, or, it can be obliterated.
Id = bad side (devil on shoulder)
Superego = good side (angel on shoulder)
Ego = reality
Ego= most comfortable self. Unconscious= Your ideal "Other person". Subconscious= who you deep down want to be. Super ego= your corrupt side. It's always trying to overtake your ego. I don't know where this dude got his information, buy he got the super ego way wrong. Check it out. C.S. Joseph | Know Thyselfcsjoseph.life .-the real stuff
The superego i think is what you've been trained to believe is right or what would jesus do, stuff like that
Yes, but, to you, it's logically infallible. The super ego is never out of line because you know it's right and you want to do what it says.
External things like social pressure is felt by the ego which then changes how it controls the Id and superego.
@@MaestroAlvis so basically the ego is the what would jesus do according to what people tell you, but the superego is what you really think he would do.
Great video and explanation, but I agree with others, the music doesn't suit the video and distracts the viewer from its great content. Thanks for making it available to everyone :)
I'm a huge music person and yet I was so focused on what he was saying that I barely noticed the music. I guess you have a point though.
We need to see our "ID" at all times. I think is the ID that is complaining about the music.
Anyone here from Alter Ego?
Here 😃
Es is best girl
I came from BIT.TRIP VOID
Take in somebody actually sat down and picked the music for this video
Background music.....that’s all I picked up😂
I liked the content but still gave this video a thumbs down due to the horrible music played in the background... wth man!
that music made me stop the video, write this comment and close this tab
Don't you unlock the ID through the use of drugs/hallucinagens?
yup
How about on being drunk?
TURN THE MUSIC DOWN I CAN"T HEAR UR VOICE. U SCRUB
i would watch this but the music sucks
The id is too strong in me whenever I get inconvenienced
Ooof, the music, dude.
bro, the unconscious is the first thing you develop. Then, the subconscious, then the superego.
That makes so much sense, it really does...
This is clearly created by someone who doesn't understand what the ego, super ego, and the ID are. A person's mental stability isn't caused by a conflict between these systems. What's worst is that he gives them classifications that are outside of these concepts, which further explains why he didn't understand. No, there is no "angel and devils" when it comes to the ego, super ego, and the ID. They are psychological systems that aren't good or bad in their nature, they are very neutral. It shocks me to know that this is what they are teaching you. You'll have a very hard time going through masters if you start with psychology as a good and bad premise.
There is no good and bad. ID and SuperEgo and neither good nor bad.
And thinking about this subject alot will ruin your ego btw. So save ur sanity
can you explain how to strengthen ego then?
@@zNathaniel Strengthening your ego or going to the super ego path, you will cate less about yourself and more about others. You will you can strengthen your ego by meditating, which generally gives you more positive thoughts. Aka being a good person.
This is why I watch animated videos when I need to understand something. People just sitting in the video talking to the camera does nothing for my learning but I get this theory FINALLY!
I BEG you delete this and reupload with no music
What’s with the shitty overbearing music! I’m watching this with ADD and it’s a real struggle to focus on his words & not the wanky tune accompanying them.
Thanks for the video though.
Im a psych major n this is the best explanation ever..thanks
For someone who makes videos about psychology you'd think you'd understand the psychology of editing a video to have visually appealing infographics and balanced audio levels, with the information at the forefront and not buried in some lame ass music.
For someone who makes videos about psychology you'd think he'd foresee how snotty and bitchy and ugly a large portion of RUclips commenters on psychology videos are.
Wow. These days most people seem to use the term ego in a much different way. It's almost as though a lot of people when using the term ego they are confusing it with the id. Great video that has changed my perspective.
Kind of like the trinity?
The trinity of self
waffles whisper me secrets
Why it says that we cannot access ID? ID is responsible for immediate gratification type of desires, I am fully aware of those myself. What part of it I dont understand?
So a narcissist would have a super permissive ego🤷♀️
Oh Yeah. Ego living Planet, So you listen to him because he goes for what the average Joe would do. The Super Ego Trys to do what Normal people would do, But more thought out and Right and Such, Better Normal well adjusted stuff, The Id does what it wants to do.
Awesome help thank you!
Why do yoy have someone playing drums and a guitar in the background- can you imagine this scenario while explaining a concept in a classroom ?
Ego is logic and makes decisions based on the outcomes desired. It might be id or superego that wins. The id and superego is opposites, subconscious and not logic. Id exists at birth but superego develops as child grows, it represents ethics, virtues..... That's why in Islam a child is still innocent until later age when superego develops-affected by parents, school teachers, rules and regulations.....
superego is blasphemy im a hedonist i hate the concept of superego. all psychology is divine authority that shouldnt be trifled with.
I’m studying for my LCSW exam and i wanted a refresher on this topic . Great break down
Why the fuck do you wanna have that music in such a video? Don't get the point. It's super annoying the bgm.
I'm not sure what the background music is supposed to be doing in here other than distraction. It's a bit like being a bad speaker.
Why do I want waffles all of a sudden...
perla rodriguez It is the repressed thoughts of your Id terrorising your superego
Nice video ... Can't you just stop the back ground Sound
I know it's not an accurate interpretation but I like to interpret them this way
Id: the most mechanical aspect of the mind. It takes in input and delivers immediate output without reflection. A emotional reaction.
Ego: the mind's projection of the self. It rationalizes and reflects on the actions of the id. It influences the id to act in the person's own self interest through long term thinking.
Supee ego: the mind's projection of others. Able to understand and empathize with others. While understanding people around you is a helpful tool to keep the self safe it can also influence and train the id to act in others interests by simulating being in the other person's perspective. The super ego would still usually have less influence then the ego
Simple explanation Thanks but ditch the music !!
Why don't people know how to turn the music down
i am just now realizing instead of "waffle," you meant super "eggo". hah
The Music stopped me watching after 45secs.
at this point ur voice is in the background not the music
Music ruined this. Couldn't even watch.
Music......couldn`t take in what was said because of it
Just one question, why is the superego a waffle?
Its what the song sad but true by metalica is about
This is all bullcrap !!, its ok to have an ego
I really liked Egos moustache.
CEO of loud background music
background music is just irritating
Hahah I get it. The super ego is a eggo nice
Why is the superego a waffle? 🧇
A good example is the characters on the TV show Three's Company. Lana was the id (sexually aggressive), Janet was the super-ego (moral compass), and Jack was the ego (mediator who resists the id and tries to compromise the super-ego).
Wow. I barely remembered Lana until you mentioned her. Lol. Yeah, I suppose that about sums it up.
0:47 you probably meant *your* mom, right?
Haha you are mom
Can somebody sole this antinomy for me, which devolops first, the ego or super ego?
Super ego stars at birth. it is the reason kids cry when they need something
abri7771
So you’re saying infants possess ideals and aspirations as to what personality traits they should possess, yes? I find it hard to believe that since until you don’t become knowledgeable of norms and the drives of a society how could you possibly desire what is considered a quantifiable trait?
Chris Hawk idk man. I took a course last semester. Now i have no idea what this means 😂
Ego only. You don't need to develop Super Ego. It is already developed and monitoring.
Ego is life instinct and superego develops during early childhood
Fucking music wont let me focus
these drawngs are just terrible
I'm Grateful for this
I record my thanks pal.
I'm sorry to say this but the background music is really annoying 🥴. Can't really focus...
The music really ruins this video. Sounds like 70's bowchikawowow music
I couldn’t finish the video. A great message drowned out by a generic jingle. Keep up the good work and let your voice be heard.
id: infant demeanor 😏
Get rid of music
I honestly think that some IDs are complaining about the music, our ID could be tricky
Missed opportunity for the background music to be Id, Ego or Super-Ego from BIT.TRIP VOID.
The music is 🤢🤮
Good video, but the music was causing me anxiety. Way too much going on to really concentrate or take in the key points that the speaker was talking about.
Really attractive illustrations and comprehensive explanations. But this is a really poor choice of music, at least for me, it made it difficult to concentrate
Music !
Why I keep thinking about kkkult45 and boomers & Gen X 😣
I'm watching this to know if the pronunciation is "Eed" or "Eye dee" of "Id"
What’s the name of the voice that’s literally just a radio playing music all day
ditch the music
so basically a psychopath doesn't have a waffle and the sociopath's referee ignores his , got it.
Battling with the unnecessary music, gave up half way.
Thank you
why would you put music in the background? fail
Very informative but next time try to raise the background volume. Can barely hear it
Loved the music, too bad there was some dude talking over it
Good video but how about better sound and music with lesser volume .
Why is the superego a waffle? 🧇 Because yum 💁🏻♂️
I was gonna subscribe but then I noticed that you haven't uploaded a new video in atleast two years.
