Topic Reading-Vol.1246-9/9/2015

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Why do some people refer to themselves in the third person?
Do you refer to yourself as he or she? Or do you know anyone who does?
Some people, especially those who are proud of themselves and their successful achievement, tend to have this linguistic habit.
According to a psychotherapist, thinking about yourself in the third person isn’t that an unusual habit especially among those who believe they are successful. However, talking about yourself in the third person is not a usual custom. For example, Julius Caesar wrote, “Caesar conquered ~ and successfully placed Roman governance in the region.”
Who and how they use this third person reference?
Enjoy reading and learning about this curious behavior.
