Life and Death Instincts: The Propelling Forces of the Personality | Freud Explained

What truly drives human behavior — the urge to create, connect, and survive, or the pull toward aggression, destruction, and silence? In this video, we explore Life and Death Instincts, two powerful forces at the core of human personality according to Sigmund Freud.

Freud proposed that personality is shaped by the constant interaction between Eros (Life Instincts) and Thanatos (Death Instincts). Life instincts push us toward survival, love, creativity, and growth, while death instincts express themselves through aggression, self-destructive behavior, and the drive toward tension reduction. Together, these instincts act as the propelling forces of the personality, influencing thoughts, emotions, and actions—often outside conscious awareness.

In this video, complex psychoanalytic ideas are explained in a clear, simple, and exam-oriented manner, using examples that make these abstract instincts easier to understand and remember. This explanation is especially helpful for psychology students, competitive exam aspirants, and anyone interested in personality theories and human motivation.
