The Self-regulation of our perceived self image

The process of self regulation entails our learned behaviors and defense mechanisms to enforce our perceived self-image of ourselves. Sometimes the image individuals create in their minds about themselves does not correspond with that of the image others see about ourselves. While others form their concepts of who others are their viewing of others is dependant on their own self-image of how the world around them is or should be. Individuals own self-image about themselves is dependant on the ideas that the growth of our inner-thoughts have lead to an individualistic identity that serves individuals in creating their own self-image of themselves. When this self imagine is positivity or negativity effected the self-image of that individual is affected to a certain manner that defers from it's original standpoint of self-image. In most cases, Self-regulation is important to help foster the individuals original self-image of themselves. Self-regulation comes in many forms and oftens sets the goal of trying to return the individual towards a previous state of mind frame that help regulate the individuals self-image status within themselves.
