We hear many things about poor self image or low self esteem. What is self image and how does it affect us?

1. Just what is my self-image? Is it different than my self-concept?

Self-concept or self-image is that internal picture we hold of ourselves - it’s who WE think WE are. The amazing thing is that often others hold different pictures of us that don’t agree with who we think we are. Each of us communicates out of our self-image. While affected by temperament, self-concept goes beyond our built in personality style.
