Self-expression is the desire of a person to reflect his inner state, his way of thinking and individuality in the external material world. Self-expression is an inherent need of a person, inherent in genetics.
The desire to express oneself has been characteristic of man throughout his entire history. The manifestations of such a desire include rock paintings, songs and legends, folk music and decoration of household items. When manual labor prevailed over machine labor, each master strove to make his products unique, recognizable and beautiful. This not only helped in trading and attracted customers, but also served as an excellent way to self-actualize. The idea of self-expression is inseparable from the desire to be different from others and from creativity, as a manifestation of one's inner world outside. It helps the individual to develop, to understand himself and his place in the world, to determine his purpose and life path. Self-expression reveals the inner potential of a person, gives an inexhaustible source of positive emotions and serves as an excellent psychological relief. Mass production reigns supreme in the modern world. For their social adaptation, people are forced to play different roles every day, losing their individuality. How can a person show their individuality in today's reality of life? Many people, especially young people, express themselves through their own appearance. This is reflected in hair, clothing, piercings and tattoos. The most versatile and useful form of self-expression for a person is creativity. It can take any shape. Someone writes poetry or music, another draws pictures, cuts wood, creates sculptures from sand or ice. It is impossible to count the types of such creativity, everyone can come up with their own way of reflecting themselves in the material world. Broadly speaking, the word self-expression can be applied to any human action. After all, everything that he says or does bears the imprint of a personality. The global act of self-expression is, in fact, the whole life of a particular person. The manifestation of individuality is the house in which a person lives, the children he brings up, his work and his own business. The entire success of the enterprise, the pace of its development and the prospects for the future depend on the personality of the leader.
