Answer 1

there is a discrepancy between the real self and ideal self.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Carl Rogers, anxiety and neurotic behaviors occur when there is a discrepancy between a person's actual experiences, behaviors, and qualities (real self) and their ideal self (the person they would like to be or think they should be). In other words, when there is a significant difference between a person's self-concept and their ideal self, it can lead to psychological distress and maladaptive behavior.
