Self-concept is how we see ourselves. It is made up of our thoughts, feelings, and beliefs about ourselves. Self-concept is developed over time through our experiences, interactions with others, and our interpretation of those experiences.

Self-esteem

Self-esteem is how we feel about ourselves. It is our overall sense of worth and value. Self-esteem is influenced by our self-concept, but it is also influenced by our experiences, relationships, and our culture.

How satisfied are you with your self-concept and self-esteem?

I am generally satisfied with my self-concept. I know who I am and what I am capable of. I am also confident in my abilities and my worth. However, there are always areas where I can improve. I am always working to learn and grow, and I am always striving to be the best version of myself.

How does this impact your communication with others?

My self-concept and self-esteem impact my communication with others in a number of ways. I am more likely to be open and honest with others when I feel good about myself. I am also more likely to be assertive and confident in my communication. When I am feeling insecure, I am more likely to be withdrawn and hesitant to communicate.

The Johari Window

The Johari Window is a tool that can help us understand how we are perceived by others and how we perceive ourselves. It is divided into four quadrants:

• Open Self: This quadrant includes information that is known to both ourselves and others.
• Hidden Self: This quadrant includes information that we know about ourselves but that we choose not to share with others.
• Blind Self: This quadrant includes information that others know about us but that we are not aware of.
• Unknown Self: This quadrant includes information that is unknown to both ourselves and others.

How does the Johari Window reflect my perception of my 4 selves?

The Johari Window helps me to understand how I am perceived by others and how I perceive myself. It also helps me to identify areas where I can improve my self-awareness and communication.

• Open Self: I am generally open about myself with others. I am willing to share my thoughts, feelings, and experiences.
• Hidden Self: There are some things that I keep to myself. I may not share these things because I am not comfortable sharing them or because I think that others will not understand.
• Blind Self: There are some things that others know about me that I am not aware of. This could be because I am not paying attention to how I am coming across or because others are not telling me.
• Unknown Self: There are some things about myself that I do not know. This could be because I have not had the opportunity to explore these parts of myself or because I am not aware of them.

I am working to increase my self-awareness and to improve my communication with others. I am doing this by being more open and honest with myself and with others, and by paying attention to how I am coming across. I am also learning to be more assertive and confident in my communication.
