Self-perception is probably the single most important aspect of a persons psyche. A negative self-image can destroy a person while a positive one can motivate a person to achieve great things.
I place the highest priority on maintaining my self image and it is a continuous process. It is fairly easy however, to become delusional and lose control of your self-perception Megalomaniacs and suicidal tendencies are examples of the consequences of a self-perception gone awry.

If you mean "self-perception" as you worth. I place more and
more unquestioning value upon it. Because, this is the very
core of you. It is a Vertical issue. No human can touch what
God has said is good. If your perception is "I am stupid, failure, etc, then it's a red flag, to take some good time to
first re-establish truth, it never changes, then know if the
message is generalized and accusatory, it isn't God, He
establishes your worth.

True Self-ishness always leads to joy, because it
is motivated always by the desire to feel as good
as possible. It is only when we are Self-ish
enough to be, do and act in accordance with our
desires (not someone else’s) that it is possible
to stay balanced. Energetically speaking, a desire
is a rush of life force energy, a connection to
the divine inner self, which can never result in
actions that are harmful. It is only when true
desires are blocked that they become twisted and
ugly. This statement goes against the common
wisdom that human nature is greedy, violent and
primitive. Human nature is precisely the opposite:
we are born knowing ourselves as powerful,
eternal, spiritual beings. Petty, competitive,
churlish and violent behavior must be overcome
with suitable practice. Observe your family,
friends and coworkers. Almost all of them are good
people, trying to do the best they can. It would
simply not be possible to build a sophisticated
society if human nature was so base. All
successful societies are based upon cooperation,
not competition. Competition works not because it
is adversarial, but because it inspires teamwork.
Ask two angry guys to get something constructive
done, it is not going to happen. All success is
based upon cooperation. That is because we live in
an attraction based universe.

These natural impulses are supposed to be
dangerous because they stem from a primitive
survival instinct. But human being has a better
mind than animals. Just look around at the mess
the world is in! But that is a delusional
assertion, a denial of the basic nature of
consciousness itself. The natural impulses of
human nature stem from a connection to life force,
and it is resistance to this divine impulse which
causes the selfish behavior people object to.

If you observe people you will quickly see that
those persons who are most alive are full of
desire, and those who look lifeless have little or
no desire. Desire = life force. Shut off desire =
selfish behavior. It's ironic that selfish
behavior actually results from self-denial.

Human nature is not a primitive, biological
instinct based on survival of the fittest, it’s a
pure connection to source energy. It is divine.
It's only when that connection is closed off that
selfish behavior is demonstrated. Every one of
your desires is, in its non-resisted state, joyful
and balanced, because that is an inherent property
of consciousness itself. True selfishness is
allowance of desire, without resistance, and
results in the impulse to give freely to others.
But it is first necessary to allow that impulse
within yourself.

On the one hand, I place a very high value on my self-perception.

But on the other hand, I recognize that it tends to be biased in my favor, and so isn't worth much.

I place a high value on the fact that I love myself alot. My self-respect and self-esteem has never been higher.

I hope others see me as I perceive myself, a valuable, loving person.

i know its not what it should be influenced by, but the way my parents treat me and my good friends think of me. I think thats what shapes most people.... at least for those who are still living with their parents.
so how i perform in school, my relationships with friends and family, and my satisfaction in the direction im taking my life defines my self perceptions

If I place any value on it, it is in its quality of awareness. Without that, as mentioned about, distorted thinking arises.
