Psyc 2p30: chapter two - the self in a social. We perceive things so much differently than what people may be intending. Defined as: the belief that people are paying more attention to you than they really are. In reality everyone is too focused on themselves and what others think of them to notice most of the time. Illusion of transparency: you think that everyone can see your emotions leaking out ex. Think they can see how nervous you are. People feel more nervous than other people think they look. Examples of interplay between our sense of self and our social world. We want to appear right, good, etc. When things go good -> because of self. Change who you are, depending on who you"re with. A person"s answers to the question, who am i? . So many variable answers to such a seemingly simple question. At the center of our worlds: our sense of self.
