Interpersonal relationships are those that we have with other people. Communication between others is essential to human survival. We communicate to get what we need: food, affection, knowledge, understanding, money, the list goes on. In these relationships, we build our image of ourselves, learn to trust, and sometimes fall apart. This paper will analyze interviews discussing what happens in their real life experiences with relationships and compare how they may differ from person to person. How you communicate with others depends on how you view yourself. All people have images of themselves called a self-concept. There are three types of self-concepts: public (the way you want others to see you), real (the way you actually view yourself), and ideal (the way you want to be). Sometimes, a public and real self-concept don’t match. Do you feel that your public self-concept is different from your real self-concept? A. I try to keep both my public self-concept and my real self-concept in line with each other. I think that they are both relatively the same and I would like them to be so I don’t appear to others as being different than how I really am. B. I believe they are different. My personal self-concept is that I am a nice person who tries to make others happier, but I …show more content…
I really think it depends on the situation I am in. When you put me in a social situation, I know for a fact that my self-esteem is negative. On the rare occasion that I am at parties, I always feel like the odd man out. I just can’t understand how people talk so effortlessly. When it comes to sports, my self-esteem is through the roof. I have always been athletic and I find that when I am playing sports with strangers I am able to communicate. I think it stems from both what I think and what others think. I know I’m good at sports, but being picked first in gym class was reassuring. But when my friends go to parties, and I’m not invited, it makes me feel that people don’t want to talk to
Self-concept is how we think of ourselves; according to our own self and behavior. We can also call it as self- image. It is the sum of all the knowledge and information we have about ourselves. Self-concept include things like, our gender, name, personality, beliefs, values, like and dislike, and so on. For example, for me, I think I am a little bit shy girl, I am friendly, and I like to make friends with people. I like listen to music, watch movie, and play computer games. These are all the self-concept of myself. Self- concept answer the question of “who am I?” Self-concept may both include positive opinion and negative opinion.
Self-concept is defined as the knowledge, a multi-dimensional construct, of an individu-al’s perception one may have about his or herself such as personality traits, physical characteris-tics, abilities, values, goals, and roles. During my infancy stage, I started to organize and acquire information, which helped me to recognize the perception of self in the social world. As a child, I learned how to interact in the social world from the environment and my learning experiences. The self-concept is an internal model, which refers to my physical characteristics, hobbies, occu-pation, abilities, skills, personality, etc. My self-concepts refer to my personal social identity. A significant factor in self-concept is an individual’s self-perceptions and how he or she interacts in the social world is.
I can out my input on things. Especially on how I like both gender but I don’t show it. In this article I found myself an universal like when they talked about other can tell who someone is just by looking at them well I don’t get questioned a lot but I also get asked which am I, because I am my own style. And I would want to wear anything I want and I don’t care what it is as long as I like it. But often people can’t tell like what I like to do or why I do the things I do.

It is crucial to understand oneself, not only for the personal self but also for social self. Knowing what we are or even perceiving what we are determines the way in which we behave.
My primary personal thinking style is the Achievement Style, which is one of the constructive styles. Constructive Styles pertain to self-enhancing behaviors in ways of thinking, which determine a person’s level of satisfaction. These styles also pertain to the capability of effectively working with people, building healthy relationships, and being proficient at the accomplishment of tasks.
1. Self-esteem is defined as the confidence one has in them self. Beebe (2008, p. 40) describes self-esteem as, "our assessment of our value as a person." Communication can enhance self-esteem because as we communicate with other people we are able to realize who we are. The communication process allows a source to send a message to a receiver in able to get feedback. This feedback is essential to improving ourselves. Self-awareness is the idea being aware of our thoughts, movements, and emotions and noticing we are separate entity from the world around us. There are three dimensions of self-awareness, subject self-awareness, objective self-awareness, and symbolic self-awareness. Humans reach all three dimensions but symbolic self-awareness
Social perception and self perception are really just the same thing, or are they? One theory of social perception is the implicit personality theory. The idea is that if someone is nice they can be trusted and respected for instance (Smith & Mackie, 2014). Most of the people one already knows are trustworthy if they are nice can be a thought that leads to this theory, so anyone new they meet will be the same way. Social comparison theory is one way a person seeks to define who they are, or their identity (Smith & Mackie, 2014). One searches to invent and define who they are through finding the limits one lives by. This makes social comparison theory a tool, like a hammer or screwdriver, that one uses to give them an outline of their own self.
The manner in which I view myself is the antithesis to the manner in which I view the rest of the world. Regarding other people, I am quick to forgive, willing to provide aid, and passionate about helping improve current situations. I comprehend that all people naturally have flaws, and I take no issue with this; however, I take issue for every flaw with myself. I struggle to forgive myself for simple mistakes, and it takes me a great deal of time to move on from my own personal downfalls. I constantly regret actions, and often resent myself for simply being myself. I support the individuality in others, but with regards to my own, I have a tremendous sense of guilt. All of this prevents me from truly being happy with myself unless I am accomplishing something, which is an issue. There is a severe cognitive dissonance between how I view others and how I view myself, and I hope to amend that cognitive dissonance, and by doing so, create for myself a sense of peace and satisfaction with who I
Do you know who Phoebe Prince is? Do you know what she did? Do you know what her peers did to her? Phoebe Prince is a fifteen year old girl who committed suicide on January 14 of 2010. Phoebe Prince was bullied every day for three months. Her peers caused her to have such as low self esteem and low self image that she committed suicide. Seven out of ten girls in the United States suffer from low self esteem, which can lead to mental problems, suicide, and many poor life choices. Teen girls should take a class on raising self esteem because low self esteem affects girls negatively, most self esteem issues are family related, and there are much recourse to help girls.
In Carolyn Cunningham’s Book Social Networking and Impression Management, the presentation of self can be seen in terms of how we arrange for such performances (Cunningham, 16). The way we feel about ourselves strongly influences how we interpret others’ behaviour. I believe that I am a very empathetic person who can sometimes be easily influenced and can be persuaded into believing what I think is right. There are many different occurrences throughout my life that can clearly identify with this definition of myself. Three theoretical concepts that contribute to my self-concept are the self fulfilling prophecy, culture, and personality. While I believe that these three concepts are factors that contribute to my self concept, I am aware that all self concepts are subjective, and this is most likely created in my bias as to who I believe I am at my most
Self-esteem, a phrase commonly heard, but what does it mean exactly? According to the book, self- esteem is defined as the positive or negative evaluation of our self as an object. A way to look at self- esteem is by answering this question “How good am I?” An alternative way to understand self- esteem is by the reactions to the self. There are two different dimensions of self esteem, one being we think highly of ourselves and feel good about ourselves. On the other side, we can think poorly of ourselves and feel bad about ourselves either in general or in specific roles. The four sources of self- esteem come from social comparisons, reflected appraisals, psychological centrality, and self- perception. Social comparisons refers to the using others as a point of reference for our thoughts and
I’m a quiet and reserved kind of person until someone takes the time to get to know me. I try my best to make those around me feel comfortable, because I know that’s how I would want others to make me feel. Sometimes I do wonder about who I am. For a woman of only nineteen, that’s a relatively hard question to answer. I’m still being formed and cast. But as of right now, I’m happy and strong. Quiet, but always listening. Like Pakistani female activist Malala Yousafzai once said, “I don’t cover my face, because I want to show my
Hi, my name is Rob Geis and I am currently in grade 12. I have been at County High School for a year now; I joined at the start of 11th grade, and have thoroughly enjoyed myself here. The school is great, the people are fantastic and the atmosphere is one that makes you actually want to go to school. Before I joined ASB I was studying at the Singapore American School for two years and prior to that I was at the International School of Kuala Lumpur for two years. I was born and raised here in Bombay city and grew up here.
After the long and painful process of emerging from my shell, I cherish my individuality. But how far can I push this self-expression? What if no one likes the real me?
