self-concept
How you see-yourself
Self-concept is the mental image you have of yourself—your abilities, traits, values, and identity.
It develops through experience and feedback from others: Her self-concept as a leader grew after the successful project.
Unlike self-esteem, which is evaluative, self-concept is descriptive—what you believe you are rather than how you feel about it.
