Relational Self

The Relational Self is a psychological concept that emphasizes how our identities and behaviors are shaped by our relationships with others. Rather than seeing ourselves as isolated individuals, we understand ourselves through our interactions, connections, and roles within various social contexts, such as family, friends, and communities. This perspective highlights that our sense of self is dynamic and influenced by the relationships we nurture, suggesting that identity is not fixed but evolves based on our social experiences and the importance we place on these connections.
