  4. Self-sabotage or self-fulfillment • “You are what you think”; thoughts are the seeds of actions. • The true sabotage lies within communication with oneself, in thoughts and in words • Intra personal communication is the communication is the communication you have with yourself about yourself and others. (Perkins, page 2-3)

  5. “Who am I?” • We are a complex person. • Difficult to answer accurately or completely. • Our life begins and we started to learn who we are, through our interactions with the people around us. • Most of us has a constant image of ourselves. • The image of ourselves also varies with different situation.

  6. Our interactions • How others treat us affect how we view ourselves. • Also we can “hide” some parts of ourselves or features to prevent rejection.

  7. Intrapersonal communication • Communication with oneself is the basis of all other communication experiences. • We “create” our own “movie of life” • Thoughts and words are the tools of creation of our “movie of life”. • “Labels” about life comes from inside us.

  8. Understanding self-concept • Our self concept or self identity is our perceived self, which consists of an organised collection of beliefs and attitudes about self. • Who we perceive ourselves to be is determined by our experiences and communication with others. • This include the roles and values we have selected for ourselves, and how we believe others see us.

  9. Understanding self concept • Self concept consists of 2 subcomponents, closely related: • Self image The mental picture of self 2. Self-esteem Our feelings and attitudes towards ourselves including our evaluation of ourselves
