Overview of the Substitute Sense of Self oriented System

The Substitute-Sense–of-Self-oriented System is the collection of psycho-emotional desires, beliefs, motives, and needs we, human-beings, come up with a strategy to fill in the void that exists when our primary caretaker doesn’t give us acknowledgement as a real, distinct Being, so we have a Lack of Natural Sense of Self instead of being able to develop a Natural Sense of Self. This System serves to give a (surrogate, unhealthy, compensatory, problem-creating) structure to our life.
