Self-Presentation

Self-presentation is the way individuals control and manage how they appear to others, aiming to influence their perception. It involves choosing behaviors, words, and appearances that align with the image they want to project, whether to create trust, admiration, or rapport. This can happen consciously, like dressing professionally for a job interview, or unconsciously, through habitual habits or body language. Essentially, self-presentation is about presenting oneself in a manner that supports personal goals or social expectations, shaping how others see and respond to us.
