Claims are what?

Every person strives for something in his life. Someone dreams, someone sets goals and objectives. This is a claim, simply in another terminology. So, the claim is the desire to receive from life what a person considers possible and worthy of his personality. Here is where the most "interesting" begins: why do some people have an overestimated level of claims, others - understated? Why do some expect adequate, while others - unrealistic? And who can judge that they are like that?

Different levels

So, the claim is the inner right of a person to receive one or another of life's benefits. It can be both about career successes, travel, profitable marriage, and about progress in school, the institute or in the city circle. Regardless, different levels of claims are distinguished. The high level of claims, oddly enough, is typical for people with inadequate self-esteem, which affects the level of claims. It is still unclear, however, the quality of claims affects self-esteem or self-esteem - to claims, but the existence of a link between these phenomena is unquestionable.

Self-esteem and claims

Psychologists note that people with high or low self-esteem, paradoxically, may have a high level of claims, and low. When it comes to a high level, it means that a person is not able to adequately assess his own strength and ability to achieve what he wants. If we are talking about a low level of claims, then the person, due to low self-esteem, and, hence, unbelief in his own forces, knowsingly sets himself a minor goals and objectives.

Determination of the level of claims

Successful, active and motivated individuals have neither high nor low level of aspiration. They have real claims, which sooner or later come true. Unlike dreamers or those who see the world "in pink glasses", these people set themselves tasks, the fulfillment of which fully corresponds to their personal qualities. American psychologists have found out that they have a high level of motivation, which pushes them to achieve their claims.

Those who have unrealistic high claims to life, as a rule, often have a weak level of motivation, unable to realize their ambitions.

An example of inadequately inflated claims

A fairly common example, when a girl from the province believes that she deserves the husband of the Prince of England. At the same time, she does not even know his native language, has no education, no education, and worst of all - does not even strive for it. She's just sure she deserves it just like that. Here is an example where individual claims are a discrepancy between the real qualities of a person and their aspirations.

Is it possible to determine your level of aspiration?

This is done with the help of an experienced psychologist or special tests. Sometimes such an analysis is necessary if it is not possible to achieve some goals in life, but it clearly does not add up. Perhaps, in this case, the level of claims does not coincide with the level of personal characteristics. Then you need to either reduce claims, or work on your own individual qualities of character. To change one's personality in order to correspond to one's claims is a difficult, long journey, not suitable for everyone.
