They see the world as a hard and difficult place with others being the lucky ones. I Deserve This box is about feeling that one is hard done by life. People feel like they are a victim and that no on recognizes they value and contribution. Must Be Seen As People in this box crave attention and feel like they are being watched and judged. They need to be thought well of and will work hard to fit in. Extreme clinical expression of this is Histrionic personality disorder.

The self-deceptions we chose depend on the person we are with and the context. Over the course of a week, we may at some point fall into each of these mental boxes.

From a learning and growth perspective it is valuable to note what boxes we commonly go to across people and contexts. Since a key element of shame is that people feel like they are unworthy of love and belonging, this would fall right in the worse-than box. We need to be in a Heart of Peace to express empathy or compassion for another person. To the extent that we are trapped in a box we will not be available to express empathy to another person.

It starts when one person, A, sees B do something and interprets it from their box. A passes judgement on B and then acts in kind. They think of A as an object and act in a way that treats A as an object. And the cycle continues and feeds on itself. At any time A or B can break the cycle by going to a heart of peace and seeing the other as a valuable human being. A good way to break the cycle is by noticing what box you are in and then using your imagination and desire for a positive outcome to make a different choice of action.
