How Do You See Yourself?

What is your opinion about yourself? Do you like yourself and know your strength and weakness… How much you care about what others think about you?

The way people feel about themselves is formed during the time of growing up by the way their parents or other close family members felt about them and treated them during that time. Those who grow up with low self-esteem because they were criticized, guyed in childchood continue to hold that opinion stubbornly in the face.  What we learn during these formative years could have enormous effect on the rest of life. Ideally people should be resistant to the bad opinion of others if they were growing up thinking well of themselves learn it from their parents. 

Your opinion about yourself create your life quality. How much you are concerned about anyone’s opinion would depend who is the author of that opinion and what that opinion was. If you will have low opinion about yourself than you can be dependent of someone who has much better opinion on you than you have. You need to be motivated by someone and receive support.

The best situation as you are convinced about your values and receive support from others. Of course it is good to understand your values but also know what type of person you create in others eyes once communicate.

I imagine your mind, and especially what your mind thinks about my mind, and what your mind thinks about what my mind thinks about your mind. Charles Horton Cooley.

All people want to be liked and be appreciated for talents or personality. But if we have a weak self-image, if we believe that the opinion of others are more important than our own, we can end up living our lives in accordance to other peoples´ expectations. Sometimes, others evaluations mean more to us than our own so others´ opinion of you can run your life.

We are not consciously aware that we often try to conform to the image that we imagine other people expect from us. If a person develops a negative self-image the self-esteem will tend to be low.  Low self esteem and poor self-image has long been associated with a whole range of psychological problems. We should develop a self-image that is more based on our own evaluations rather than how we believe others look at us.
