Have you heard of term Chief Feature ?
It is the main trait in one's personality. Everyone has one.
It is the main obstacle in self-development ( in developing essence or soul ) .
It is deep in the subconscious and without self-observation we can not see it.
But our friends and family can see it if they are observable type of persons.
Pride as example :
A person with pride as their chief feature often feels the need to appear superior to others, masking underlying insecurities. Pride acts as a defense against feelings of worthlessness.
This person might frequently try to impress others with their achievements, status, or knowledge. They may feel threatened or hurt when their self-image is challenged.
When someone criticizes their work, they may respond with arrogance or refuse any advice. They often use phrases like, "I don’t need anyone’s help,"
Anger as example :
Anger as a chief feature often stems from a sense of injustice in the person’s life. Anger serves as a defense against feeling helpless or powerless.
A person with this trait may often complain about situations, people, or society as a whole, feeling that life has treated them unfairly.
This person may frequently use expressions like “Everyone is against me” or “The world is unfair.” Anger becomes their way of protecting their ego, justifying the feeling of being a "victim" of unfair circumstances.
Mine is anger, rooted in a deep sense of injustice. I’ve been working on it through self-observation for a some time, especially after experiencing situations where I felt my freedom was restricted—like the mandatory mask requirements a few years ago.
Refusing to comply led to conflicts, but I couldn’t accept the feeling of being forced into something I fundamentally disagreed with.
