 "If my spiritual, emotional and psychological self doesn't outweigh my romantic, social and political self when it comes to the Judgment of others in their relationships with me; then perhaps my spiritual, emotional and psychological self." 

Let's break it down -- What do these concepts mean in relation so each other:

If my spiritual, emotional and psychological self doesn't outweigh my romantic, social and political self when it comes to the Judgment of others in their relationships with me; then perhaps my spiritual, emotional and psychological self need some work." 

If my ,,,

My spiritual self -- "Spiritual means relating to the spirit or soul, or to sacred or religious matters. It can also mean relating to deep feelings and beliefs, or being joined in spirit. For example, you might describe someone's poetry as having a spiritual dimension, or describe your own life as a spiritual journey."

My emotional self -- "There are many faces of emotional love. If you want to hold someone close to you, take all their fears away, and protect them at any cost, this means you are emotionally attracted to them. You want to share every moment of your life with the person you are emotionally attracted to."

My psychological self -- "The psychological self is the study of how a person's identity is represented cognitively, affectively, or conatively. It's a complex, unique, and enduring combination of activities that involve knowing and wanting. The psychological self can be thought of as an agent that organizes activities into personality patterns, and then evaluates those patterns based on environmental demands."

My romantic self -- "The Romantic self is a concept that emerged during the Romantic period and is characterized by a privileged interiority and a focus on the individual: 

Self-expression -- The Romantic self is a "core" plus an expression of that core. 

Nature -- Romantics believed in nature and felt a connection to it, seeing it as a reflection of the human spirit. 

Individualism -- Romanticism celebrated the individual, especially those living in isolation or in nature. 

Free will -- Romantics believed in the power of free will and exercised it in their lives. "

My social self -- "The social self is how people perceive themselves in relation to others, and how they present themselves to others. It can also refer to the different versions of a person's self that they adopt depending on the situation. The social self is fluid and can change depending on the context or the situation."

My political self -- "Political identity is a form of social identity marking membership of certain groups that share a common struggle for a certain form of power. This can include identification with a political party, but also positions on specific political issues, nationalism, inter-ethnic relations or more abstract ideological themes."

Let's revisit this one more time -- What do these concepts mean in relation so each other:

If my spiritual, emotional and psychological self doesn't outweigh my romantic, social and political self when it comes to the Judgment of others in their relationships with me; then perhaps my spiritual, emotional and psychological self need some work."
