Because of technical issues with the original thread, I ask you not to respond there and provide your input here instead.
I will repost the best of your input on the original thread here:
| Quote: | 
"You seem over concerned with what others think of you. You already had an image in mind of what you wanted others to perceive you as; this is reflected in the poses you made. Untouchable, 'mystical', tragic. A lost soul, who's perhaps a touch fragile. In the third photo, there is some kind of attempt at a slight humanitarian feel, with the half-smile. Still, the foggy 'mist' effect keeps the distance between you and others. In the last picture you have a striking similarity to David Bowie, the gaze-into-the-camera-blankly pose is eminent here." -Anonymous
"You remind of David Copperfield, the illusionist, who has been typed as 3w4. I don’t know what his MBTI type is, but, I’m assuming he is an ENTP. Take a look at David's photos and compare. I see many similarities. I get the same feeling of intensity in your eyes. Strictly (and perhaps superficially since I know little to nothing about you other than your internet activities) based on the number and type of photos your submitted, speaks to me the motivation of an E3. you like to call attention to yourself. I think an E1 would be much more restrained and would submit just one photo for typing if at all, possibly something more plain, professional or a classic look. The 'green' photo to me projects image and creativity - "Look at me" quality. It is an attractive one of you, certainly feel an illusion of depth and mystery (E4 ish). I think you might like the lure of deception or chameleon like activities. Just my opinion." - Anonymous
"Ethan, it is quite possible you are an ENTP. You seem detached enough which is definately a thinking trait. There are such variations within a personality though its hard to tell. Some ENTPs are more aggressive than others. You seeking input to come up with your conclusion is more of an E trait. I’s tend to want to formulate their thoughts by themselves before putting them out there." - Polly_G
"I took a long time to study those faces. The guy who took those picture was not a newbie. Some of them looks very good. But the point is its harder to analyse you because of that. You are not all yourself on those picture. Someone know what you have to do to have a good look. You look as a listening 1 or 5 on the first. Look as a reforming 1 on the second picture. As a 5 or maybe 6 on the third. As a judge on the 4th one. You look strong (except on the third picture where you look as a weaker thinking 5). Your variant stacking is I think : Sx/So/Sp. Am I right? You are really not a 3. The only other type I can see in you would be an unusual looking counterphobic 6w5 or 8w9, but I would be really suprize if you were not a 1 from what I read from you. You seem to be a lot stronger than a 5. More like a slim 8." - Will
"4w3, or 3w4. And an ESTJ. Though I am not going by the picture. And I must add the disclaimer that you always make it seem that you are mutable, and and have wild flights of fantasy." - Vylence
"You actually look like an ISTP to me. You seem to have the sharp eyes of an ST type." - Rocky |

Self-actualization is not exactly "all about me". It's knowing your own purpose at the highest point and use the purpose to do powerful things. "All about me" could be anyone basically. The person with Self-actualization is not likely to talk about themselves, but I'm not sure. I'm an "all about me" person. I'm not quite at the peak of my potential yet.

In theory, it's "not exactly all about me," but in practice, it totally is. 
Self actualization is real, but it will never happen through some path to self.
You can try it.
I hope you know when to quit and let go of it instead of hopefully dragging it on for the rest of your life, and becoming increasingly scary.
Everyone's so full of self. If that was the answer, don't think we'd be a lot happier? The answer to happiness and fulfillment is something a lot harder.

Most recent picture. As you can see, I am "growing" a ponytail. And a little beard, too. The ponytail, it’s a very tricky business. Because my hair is still short, it falls apart without hair gel and hair moisturizer. And the whole thing only looks stable for 6 or so hours, so I need to wash my hair twice during the day and apply the hair gel and hair moisturizer each time. Those things make me break out more often (but thanks to my skin care regime it is not a severe problem). I suspect I won’t be able to manage without this annoying routine until summer, which is when I estimate my hair will be long enough. I thought ponytail will be good for me, because short hair makes my face appear too long. I will have the ponytail designed in a more elegant and sophisticated way when it is long enough. | Quote: |

People like Martin Luther King Jr. or Mohammad Ghandi have reached self-actualization. I'm talking about the Maslow's Pyramid.

Right, but that doesn't mean they reached it the way it's proposed today. Or the way we've been going about it.
They absolutely did not.

MLK and Ghandi are good examples.

Self-actualization is to realize your full potential and be able to use your full potential.

Right. Correct. Are you missing what I'm saying? I'm saying self actualization is real, but you will never ever reach it the way that's proposed today. Ever. It's a pipe dream.
Edit: whoops, i'll just add the addendum to my next reply.

I actually didn't understand what you are talking about so I kind of ignored it. Sorry about that.

No I'm sorry, I wasn't being very clear and concrete.
Nowadays everyone seeking self actualization is focused on themselves.
You will not reach it focusing on self. Ever.
But people will lead you into that because it's so easy and attractive.
Fulfillment is a lot harder than doing that. Man, humanity is BORN focused on self -- and humanity is tragic. Self-focus is not it. Self-focus is hideous.

I think that's what most people say, but they don't really mean it.
Their motivation is still all about self.
Wanna know what I think actually accomplishes self actualization?
