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.
