Question: 1 / 400

What does turning against self refer to?

Improving oneself through criticism

Directing hostile aggression from another to oneself

Turning against self refers to directing hostile aggression from another person towards oneself. This could occur in situations where someone is experiencing bullying, or when someone blames themselves for a situation that was actually caused by another person's actions. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not involve the transfer of aggression from another person. Option A describes using self-criticism to improve oneself, option C refers to changing one's life for the better without any external influence, and option D describes self-sabotage and procrastination as a result of one's own actions or thoughts. Only option B accurately describes the concept of turning against self.
