ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Self-concept

Self-concept is the understanding of who you are. It's like having a picture in your head about who you are and what makes you unique. It includes things like what you like and don't like, your beliefs and values, and your thoughts and feelings about yourself. It's the sum of all your experiences, the good and the bad. It can change over time based on the new things you learn, experience, and understand.
