Self-presentation is any action you take with the intent to influence how other people perceive of you.
Self-presentation is any action you take with the intent to influence how other people perceive of you. It's the way you interact with other people, how much you reveal about yourself, and whether you're presenting an honest view of who you really are. For example, if you meet someone new who's incredibly confident and outgoing, you might present yourself as a similar type of person to feel more comfortable and welcome. You might also present your normal, reserved self, depending on who the person is and the purpose of your meeting. Some situations may require a different presentation.This kind of behaviour is something most people do, as we often adjust ourselves to certain situations. If you're normally a talkative person, you might present as reserved at a work conference to respect the speakers at the event. At work, people may change how they present themselves to impress their manager, connect more effectively with their colleagues, or present themselves as more knowledgeable in a specific subject area.Related: How to Perform a Self-Assessment (With Example)
