How You See Yourself: The Psychology of Self-Perception
Do you see yourself clearly—or through a distorted lens? Self-perception affects confidence, decisions, and even relationships. Here's how.
It’s how you view your personality, skills, and worth. Your internal narrative shapes how you behave and how others respond to you.
You think everyone notices your flaws—but they don’t. The spotlight effect makes you believe you're always being judged.
Many confuse who they are with how they feel in the moment. Self-concept isn't fixed—it changes with thoughts, moods, and feedback.
Labels like “lazy” or “shy” can become self-fulfilling. What you repeatedly tell yourself becomes part of your identity.
Constant comparison online can damage how you see yourself. Remember, you’re seeing someone’s highlight reel—not their whole story.
