Describe some aspects of your self-concept that have been created through social comparison

Self-concept is the self-perception of an individual's behavior, abilities, and unique characteristics. It gives one an identity that the person ascribes to herself based on reflections of other people's reactions.

Self-concept is a product of personal identity, self-image, self-esteem, and capabilities. The idea of social comparison arises when one compares one's attitudes, abilities, and traits with those of others.

A well-developed self-concept should be based on self-respect and self-acceptance. Setting realistic goals and working hard to achieve them also help. A positive mindset in a warm environment of love is necessary for an affirmative social comparison.

I have built the self-concept that I can work well with people and relate with everybody at their levels. This self-concept is based on my understanding that God has created everybody to be equal. The limitations to equality are human creations. Active humility integrated with self-praise can dismantle these limitations.

Thus, self-concept needs to balance with social comparison in such a way that helps one to achieve self-set goals.

I see myself as someone rather shy and uncomfortable in big social settings. I´m not rude nor a silent person, but seeing others being naturally sociable has led me to believe that my social skills could be better. In the same way, I consider myself lacking skills for any sport, because when attempting to join a team I feel discouraged by the talent of those more experienced, thinking that I probably won´t be as good.

Explanation:

Social comparison is a psychological theory about the tendency to compare ourselves to others as an intrinsic urge to evaluate ourselves.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
