When you look at yourself in the mirror, do you see yourself or an image of who you think you are?
I wonder about this many times. Whenever I see myself on video or hear my interviews on the radio, I sound so strange. Everyone around is certain that the 2-dimensional person on the screen is exactly the same as the person standing next to them, but I am not 100% convinced. Surprise, surprise, but what we think about ourselves and what others think about us are so different that sometimes it feels as if we are not talking about the same person.
What we think about ourselves is what we call our "Self Concept". If you want to discover yours, simply ask yourself: Who am I?
This seemingly simple question is big, really big. Of course, your answers may be different, but most people include: social roles, physical appearance, health, relationships, location, achievements and skills.
