Recognition is of great value to the human being and is a very important part of their training, specifically because of their contribution to well-being, living in society we expect recognition of the other as a reference (source of information) and the strengthening of our way of acting, thinking or putting ourselves (attitude) in front of a situation.
Precisely, in the constitution of one person, the other conditions the image he has of himself, especially in the first years of life. In addition to needing incentives, the child needs to feel protected from life’s difficulties, with love, care, and respect.
- In this way.
- Your psyche is configured in a healthy.

As we see, the other plays a fundamental role in the different stages of life, at birth parents or guardians play a fundamental role, as we move to the later stages, the circle of influence widens, so that we never cease to be sensitive to the actions of others; In addition, in what others give or take away from us, we can place recognition, which in many cases acts as reinforcement of behaviors and our own image.
The great value of recognition is due to the following benefits
Recognition, because it influences our self-image, influences how we feel (self-esteem). A self-esteem that, as a faithful disciple, will be a permanent reference, accompanying us everywhere.
It is necessary to remember that emotions are energy, so the good health of our faithful companion (self-esteem) will determine the choice of projects and the attitude with which we will undertake them.
Recognition strengthens social relationships. Whether on a personal or professional level, the recognized person will feel responsible.
Certainly, the level of personal satisfaction improves considerably when there is recognition, especially with regard to work and attitude.
Demanding people can be caught up in their own critical thoughts if their work is not recognized, so recognition is critical to avoiding negative dialogue involving self-abuse.
When a person has external recognition, they can better develop their self-esteem and self-confidence. Security itself will increase courage in the face of new situations that they face on a daily basis.
The recognition of others is extremely important for the constitution of ourselves. An example of this is learning culture at birth; part of the relational dynamic that is built with the other.
In this sense, the relationship that is generated and maintained with caregivers will be fundamental for development to be healthy, based on their desires and needs, the individual initiates the dynamic relationship that exists between the self and the outside, in this way will begin to self-regulate and be able to model, in retrospect, what Sigmund Freud established as the Principle of Reality in addition to the Principle of Pleasure , book from 1920.
In this way, Freud’s postulate refers to psychic processes being automatically regulated by the principle of pleasure, then an unpleasant tension is triggered that results in its reduction to avoid discontent (understanding discontent as a lack of recognition).
‘In psychoanalytic theory, we fully assume that the course of psychic processes is automatically regulated by the principle of pleasure. ‘ – Sigmund Freud-
In short, to live in a society in an adequate way, good impulse control is necessary, in this way the individual does not renounce his desires, but postpones them or sublimatures them, to satisfy them when the time is right.
When we do not achieve recognition of others, self-esteem can be affected, causing discomfort in the individual, in addition, the influence of reinforcement is particularly powerful in childhood, being possible to use it as a very powerful tool to educate without punishment.
In short, knowing that there is someone who can recognize our existence or our work in a positive way strengthens the best parts of our being and also increases the likelihood of repeating the behaviors we have strengthened ourselves by.
