However, <strong>while everyone wants constant attention, it\u2019s a limited resoseurce<\/strong>\u2014everyone has to spread their attention among all the people they know and interact with. We need attention in two ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Physical.<\/strong> We need eye contact and for people to look at us to confirm that we exist.<\/li><li><strong>Psychological.<\/strong> We need high-quality attention to maintain our self-worth.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>While we can\u2019t always control how much physical attention we get, we have come up with a way to cope with a psychological attention deficit\u2014we create (usually unconsciously) <strong>a self-image or self-opinion, which is an internal conception of ourselves that we can use to give ourselves our <em>own<\/em> attention. <\/strong>When we need more attention, have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/consequences-of-low-self-esteem\/\">low self-esteem<\/a>, or feel bad about ourselves, we can turn inward and admire our vision of ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding, assessing, and validating people\u2019s self-images is a large part of applying the laws in Part 1.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Does It Look Like?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>So what is self-image? Self-images are rose-tinted versions of what we\u2019re like in reality\u2014we tend to boost our positive qualities and minimize our negative ones. The earliest versions of our self-images, developed between the ages of two and five, tend to have the qualities we admire in our parents. For example, if our mother is loving, our self-image tends to be loving too.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>However, we can only edit our self-images to a certain extent\u2014if our self-image is too different from what we\u2019re really like, other people will notice and tell us, and then we\u2019ll be full of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/overcoming-self-doubt\/\">self-doubt<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What is self-image? Almost everyone\u2019s self-image includes the following traits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. They believe they <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/there-is-no-free-will\/\">have free will<\/a>.<\/strong> Whenever people do something, they believe they\u2019ve chosen to do it. In reality, they might have been manipulated into action\u2014for example, by peer pressure\u2014but they so prefer to believe in their autonomy that they fool themselves. In cases where they can\u2019t deny that they\u2019ve been coerced\u2014such as following orders\u2014they either resent the coercion or decide they\u2019re <em>choosing <\/em>to do the action they\u2019re being forced to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. They believe they\u2019re smart.<\/strong> Almost everyone believes they\u2019re intelligent in some way. They might admit that they\u2019re not a genius like Einstein, but they\u2019re proud of their street smarts, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/common-sense-pamphlet\/\">common sense<\/a>, manual skills, and so on. No one wants to believe they\u2019re stupid or gullible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. They believe they\u2019re good.<\/strong> People like to think that they treat others well, support causes, and act collaboratively, and if they clash with others, they think of it as \u201ctough love.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>For example, many people who donate money want their names publicly displayed on a sponsor list so everyone can see how good they are.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So what is self-image and where does it come from? <strong>People additionally have self-opinions about their specific insecurities, which usually come from childhood.<\/strong> Most of these self-opinions include superiority. For example, if someone thinks of herself as independent, she\u2019ll tend to think that being independent is a positive trait and that her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/maturity-continuum-7-habits\/\">independence<\/a> levels are superior to others\u2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know the answer to the question &#8220;what is self-image?&#8221; you can consider your own self-image, and how you may improve it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is self-image?
