Abstract

Self-perception is the image that a person has about himself. It includes all the beliefs about what it is like, how other people perceive it, and all its characteristics. Although it does not include value judgments but only neutral information, it has a very close relationship with self-esteem. Self-concept helps us understand each other, define ourselves, and heal ourselves in a specific environment. Its main function is to help us compare our beliefs, thoughts, actions, and feelings with those of others. In this way, we can check whether what we are doing is adaptive or not.
