A moderate self-view may be entertained privately or expressed publicly.
From this vantage point, it was the personality flaw, rather than the negative self-view, that caused people with negative self-views to embrace negative evaluations and evaluators.
That is, if people are highly certain of their self-view when they reach Phase 2, they will be inclined to compare the feedback with their own self-conceptualization if the necessary cognitive resources are available.
Once an individual establishes a well-articulated self-schema in a particular domain, he generally acts to preserve that self-view.

God who knows the Heart, sees that I have no Self-view in these matters.
But they who turn to themselves and to the world, are capable of receiving no instreaming from the Lord or from heaven, thus, not of being in any state of being enlightened and in a perception of what is true; for the world, from a self-view, glides in, and quite quenches, or drives back, or perverts whatever comes from heaven.
Every one has his pet egoistic illusion always under the spotlight of self-view; to him, his own importance is a veritable obsession.

Stop by after brunch downtown and enjoy $2 off our winetinis--passionfruit, mango, guava and pineapple. Don't forget about our maitini, made with real rock candy and almond orgeat syrup. Ah, Sundays never tasted so good!
He’s right in my case. My favorite drink at L’Aperitif has been the Miss Bonde, a raspberry-infused vodka “caressed with champagne.” On my most recent trip, I also experienced the “Mai Tini,” a mai tai served in a martini glass. L’Aperitif has a different mai tai recipe from House Without A Key, using lemon juice with a squeeze of lime, a mai mix of simple syrup, orgeat, triple sec, and rum; no dark rum, as there isn’t a float. And shaken with ice but not served with it, save for a single cube emblazoned with Halekulani’s logo (the Cattleya orchid). Kawaiaea notes that the lemon juice, which gives this mai tai a zestier flavor, was in Halekulani’s original recipe for the drink. But he draws the line at other juices. “We’ve made mai tais, and guests will come in and say, ‘Oh, can you add pineapple juice?’ No, that’s not a mai tai!”

YOLO
Part of speech: verb
Morphological type: simple
Etymology: The phrase (not the acronym) "you only live once" dates to the 19th century according to research by Katherine Martin, head of U.S. Dictionaries at Oxford University Press. It saw a steady increase of usage from 1940 to 2000. Ben Zimmer, lexicographer, found the earliest usage of the acronym from 1993, in a trademark filed for YOLO gear with "you only live once" in small lettering. The acronym was popularized around 2011 by Canadian rapper Drake.
YOLO was entered into the Oxford English Dictionary as a word on September 12, 2016.

examples: And yet they did not form Anti-Judaism, or Anti-Gentileism, nor yet anti-sin societies, but acted upon the principle that truth was omnipotent against errour, and therefore “preached Jesus and the resurrection.” as the all-sufficient moral engine for the conversion of the world.
Anti-Judaism, as defined here, differs in several crucial respects from its more familiar cousin, antisemitism. Most fundamentally, the discourse of antisemitism asserts that Jews are inherently different from non-Jews in negative ways, while the discourse of anti-Judaism urges audiences to differentiate themselves from Jews precisely because it recognizes that the characteristics of Jews and non-Jews are often not so different after all. The simple current definition states that “Antisemitism is discrimination, prejudice, hostility, or violence against Jews as Jews (or Jewish intuitions as Jewish).”⁴ Anti-Judaism, in contrast, seeks to motivate self-improvement through the cultivation of beliefs and practices opposed to those that the polemicist brands as Jewish. Antisemitic rhetoric specifically targets Jews; anti-Jewish rhetoric instead targets all who bear purportedly Jewish characteristics, especially non-Jews. Although antisemitism and anti-Judaism both seek to minimize the influence of Jewishness within society, antisemitism condemns what Jews are while anti-Judaism condemns what certain people do or think.
