The Self-image is a total subjective perception of one's body and personality (another term for self-concept).
In psychology, self-image refers to the mental picture a person has of themselves, which is a component of their broader self-concept. This includes how they perceive their appearance, abilities, and behaviors. Self-image is not necessarily an accurate reflection of reality but rather how individuals see themselves, which can be influenced by social interactions and personal interpretations.
