I think that my self-concept has changed over the years with  different experiences lived and also different people surrounding me but  more noticeable from the stage of adolescent to early adulthood. Having  various life experiences and also different people in my life along the  years could modify a self-concept. A part of my self-concept that has  changed is in the characteristic of personality, when I was younger my  mother and family members have told me that I was very talkative and now  I do tend to be more shy and not as expressive. The parts of my  self-concept that has remained somewhat the same is in the  characteristic culture, considering my self  as part of a collectivistic  culture and remaining somewhat true for most of the time to that  characteristic. Another way in which my self-concept has changed over  the course of time is social comparison, by surrounding my self with  different groups of people that I consider have similar goals and  characteristics to mine to be able to compare to make the right choices  to follow the path to my goals. The reference groups that are  particularly more important to me are my family, friends and  co-workers.

-My self concept has changed a lot over the years. In my adolescent  years, I had trouble really developing a self concept. I was more of a  quiet and shy kid growing up so it was hard for me to really describe  myself as a  person. If I was going to have a self-concept during my  adolescent age, it would be friendly. I was always trying my best to  make friends even if I came off awkward at times. Moving forward to my  adult life, my self-concept has changed in some aspects, but stayed the  same in other ways. For instance, I grew more brave to talk and actually  start conversations with people. It was hard at first cause of social  anxiety. However, I grew out of my shell and can have conversations with  people in a more natural way. I also have grown to be a hard worker. I  grew this aspect of myself through working. Lastly, my friendly nature  has remained constant. I'm still a very approachable and silly dude. I  really enjoy joking around and talking to people.

-In terms of reference groups, people who set good examples are  important to me. This can be a multitude of people. It can be my peers,  family, or friends. I find it good to see someone accomplishing great  feats, and learning from what they did. Then, applying to it myself if  it's applicable. 

-I discovered that people might think of me a different way that I  wouldn't have at first glance. After I reviewed their adjectives, I  realized they were all right.
