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.
