I believe that my perceived self is pretty close to my presenting self. Differences I can be shy if I don't feel comfortable in a situation or don't someone, but someone who doesn't know me may think that I am stuck up and too cool for them when i am really just shy. When I give a speech I feel that I am not very good at speaking in front of people and I always think that I did really bad, but when I ask people how I did they say that I did really well which is completely different from what i thought. I see myself as not as smart as my siblings which makes me feel bad but I am pretty sure that my parents do not see this and they think that I am just as smart. Similarities I see myself as confident in myself. I believe others see this is well. I also see myself as willing to help anyone that needs help. I also see myself as a good student who gets his work done on time and do the best that I can. I hope that others see this same quality in me when they look at me. I see myself as a good honest friend and I hope my friends would see this same quality in me as well.
The way that I present myself in public is the way that I see myself.
Do you believe that there are more things that there are more similarities in your perceived self and presenting self or differences between the two.

I believe that there are more differences between the two. I know that I perceive myself and present myself differently. I see myself to be confident with my friends and family and shy around others. But to others it is a different story. Many see me to be out going all the time.
ReplyDeleteFor me personally, I think that there are a lot of similarities, but also a lot of differences. I try to be myself as much as possible when with friends and when alone so there isnt too much variation between the two. However there are some things that I will do when I am alone that I absolutly will not do in front of people, such as sing, dance in crazy ways and play the air guitar, etc...
ReplyDeleteI have similarities and differences, but I think as long as you are yourself most of the time, you have nothing to worry about. Some people put on a completely different presenting self so that more people like them. I try not to do that, but sometimes I feel my perceived self is more appropriate than being a more outgoing presenting self. It all depends on where you are and who you're with.
ReplyDeleteI think that there are more similarities between my perceived self and presenting self than differences. I feel that this did not used to be the case in high school and middle school. So my accuracy in self presentation has increased. :)Of course there are the many embarrassing or silly things that we do that we keep to ourselves and our closest friends, but over all, I am not in any way afraid to show the real me to those around me.
