The self is a complex process of gaining self awareness. We develop a concept of who we are through our interactions with others. This view is expressed in pragmatic philosophy in the works of Willliam James and George Herbert Mead, among others.
Self-concept-the way in which one perceives oneself-can be divided into categories, such as personal self-concept (facts or one's own opinions about oneself, such as "I have brown eyes" or "I am attractive"); social self-concept (one's perceptions about how one is regarded by others: "people think I have a great sense of humor"); and self-ideals (what or how one would like to be: "I want to be a lawyer" or "I wish I were thinner").
Dramatism and Self-Presentation
We construct roles that we perform in the everyday drama of life and shape the image we choose to convey to others.
The Humanistic View of Self
Drawing on perspectives of Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers, this view of self emphasizes individual growth toward self-actualization.
Postmodern Self
Our sense of self is a relational view that is defined and negotiated in relational communities.
Self-Esteem
Esteem is the need to affirm self worth and gain confidence in interacting with others. This focus also draws on humanistic psychology.

The way your parents/guardians treat you, from the beginning of your life, in my opinion.
