There are numerous differences and similarities when it comes to ‘perceived self’ and ‘presenting self.’ Perceived self is what an individual believes to be who they are, how they act, and what they are good or bad at. Presenting self, on the other hand, is what other people actually see when communicating with the individual, showing what the individual really is like as a person. For example, imagine two people sitting on a bench, having a conversation. Person A’s perceived self could believe that he or she is being nice while talking to Person B, whereas Person B could interpret a gesture or how Person A says something wrong. This would then present Person A in a negative light to Person B, while the entire time Person A believes they are being polite.
In public, I present myself in a manner of maturity to my friends, family, authority figures, and others. I have a level of respect and honesty that people, in turn, respect me for it. I am the type of person that will try to make a person feel comfortable and open up to talk about anything they want or need to talk about. I love to listen to people, as well as give advice if it is wanted or needed. I am also very grateful and humble; I do not like to get all the credit, and the world DOES NOT revolve around me.
This is quite similar to me seeing myself in general. However, there are some things I would say that are different. One is that I do not think I am as confident as I could be. I AM working on it, but I know at this moment, I still need to work on my confidence. Another would be my overall fluency of words. As of right now, I use simple and easy words (most of the time), and because I am going into the Broadcasting/Film/TV business, I need to work on a better “plethora” of words and my adequacy/word choice.
