IDENTITY ISN’T BORROWED “Confident people understand that they must form their own identity. Insecurity doesn’t just ride the coattails of others—it tries to create the illusion that the people being emulated are actually them.” —Harry Petsanis #IdentityFormation #ConfidenceMindset #AuthenticityWins #AccountabilityCoaching “Identity Isn’t Borrowed” by Harry Petsanis, Accountability Coaching

Today, 26 August 2025, marks the 1,000th day since @ChatGPTapp’s release. It was initially released by @OpenAI on 30 November 2022. From @nytopinion, “chunked” by yours truly into microlearning sentences to see which of these curated points resonate with value for you: “In that short time, it’s already clear that the arrival of software that can generate unlimited amounts of OK-ish text will devalue many kinds of writing. • There will still be a market for quality, just as there is still a market for films, even though TikTok exists, but the production of ordinary writing now requires much less skill. • As business writing gets automated, university writing will return to its historical state, with more emphasis on students writing to commit things to memory, rather than to create a written artifact.” —@cshirky Was it “OK-ish text” that reminded you AI is still in its infancy? See if “…we are in the identity formation business” jumps out from these chunks from Clay Shirky’s metacognitive perspective. Keep front-of-mind for executive action, he is a vice provost at @nyuniversity, where he supports faculty and other students adapt to digital tools—since 2015. With your curation of thinkable thinkingness in this opinion piece, you too will be able to “help yourself”—and metacognitively support other lifelong learners engaged in human and artificial metacognition to adapt better to AI’s ceaseless emergence. “Contrary to much popular opinion, college is not in the information transfer business; we are in the identity formation business. • Our medieval turn will not be a wholesale reversion. • Blue books and viva voce testing will live side by side with modern innovations like active learning and authentic assessment. • …a return to a more conversational, extemporaneous style will make higher education more interpersonal, more improvised and more idiosyncratic, restoring a sense of community to our institutions.” —CS Metacognition @EnclaveAcademy prioritizes for #IdentityFormation—particularly among thinker-doer leaders (TDLs) whose identities must be formed by the array of ways they learn to “think about thinking” (i.e., metacognition), more than by the tools they use to do their AI-fortified thinking for or with them.

Why have suicide rates increased among young people in recent years? 1. Mental Health Challenges: There has been a noted increase in mental health issues among young people, including anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders. This rise in mental health problems has been linked to increased suicide rates, as individuals struggle with these conditions without adequate support or treatment. 2. Social Media and Digital Overload: The pervasive use of social media and digital platforms has introduced new stressors. Social media can contribute to feelings of inadequacy, comparison, and isolation due to curated online personas and cyberbullying. The constant connectivity can also lead to digital overload, exacerbating mental health issues. 3. Economic and Societal Pressures: Young people are facing unprecedented economic pressures, including high tuition costs, job market volatility, and the increased cost of living. These factors can lead to a sense of hopelessness about future prospects, contributing to suicidal ideation. The societal expectation to succeed in these conditions adds further stress. 4. Impact of Global Events: Events like the COVID-19 pandemic have had profound effects on mental health, with social isolation, disruption of education, and uncertainty about the future playing significant roles. The pandemic particularly highlighted and worsened existing mental health issues among youth. 5. Access to Means of Suicide: The availability of lethal means like firearms has been associated with higher suicide rates. In areas where guns are more accessible, the likelihood of a suicide attempt resulting in death increases. 6. Cultural and Social Changes: Shifts in family structures, community support, and societal norms have potentially led to less robust social support systems for young people. This can result in increased feelings of isolation, particularly in times of crisis. 7. Stigma and Lack of Mental Health Services: The stigma surrounding mental health can prevent young people from seeking help. Additionally, there's often a lack of accessible, affordable, and culturally competent mental health services, which can leave many without the support they need. 8. Identity and Discrimination: Young people from marginalized groups, including racial minorities, the LGBTQ community, and those with disabilities, often face additional stressors like discrimination and lack of acceptance, which can significantly elevate suicide risk. These factors combine to create a complex picture where multiple elements contribute to the uptick in youth suicide rates. Addressing this issue requires a multifaceted approach, including improving mental health resources, fostering supportive environments, reducing stigma, and managing the impact of digital media. #Adolescentism #Qolitica #Cyberbullying #IdentityFormation #Depression #Suicides #Woke

Navigating Identity: The Role of Family Communication in Self-Development - scft.link/JlF2u Dr. Ömer Erdoğan of Kastamonu University explores how family communication shapes identity in a study published in @HeliyonJournal. The research distinguishes between conversation-oriented families, which foster positive self-images, and conformity-oriented ones, which may impede personal growth. #FamilyDynamics #IdentityFormation #CommunicationResearch #PsychologicalStudies #Heliyon #sciencefeatured #sciencenews
