Self-Image

Self-image is your mental perception of yourself—how you see and evaluate who you are. It includes your beliefs, feelings, and attitudes about your abilities, appearance, and worth. A positive self-image helps you feel confident and comfortable, while a negative one can lead to insecurity and self-doubt. It’s shaped by experiences, feedback from others, and your own thoughts. Developing a healthy self-image involves recognizing your strengths, accepting imperfections, and fostering self-compassion, which promotes overall well-being and better relationships with others.
