Selffeelings

Selffeelings refers to the subjective emotional experiences an individual has in relation to themselves. These feelings can encompass a wide spectrum of emotions, including pride, shame, contentment, dissatisfaction, self-acceptance, and self-criticism. They are distinct from feelings directed towards others or external events, as they are internally focused on one's own perceived qualities, actions, or state of being.

The development of selffeelings is influenced by a variety of factors. Early childhood experiences, particularly interactions with caregivers and the internalization of their feedback, play a significant role. As individuals mature, their self-concept, personal values, achievements, and failures contribute to the ongoing formation and modification of their selffeelings. Social comparison, the process of evaluating oneself by comparing to others, can also impact how one feels about themselves.

Selffeelings are closely linked to self-esteem, which is the overall evaluation of one's worth. Positive selffeelings often correlate with higher self-esteem, characterized by a general sense of confidence and acceptance. Conversely, negative selffeelings can be associated with lower self-esteem, leading to feelings of inadequacy or self-doubt. These internal emotional states can influence behavior, decision-making, and mental well-being. Understanding and managing selffeelings is considered an important aspect of emotional intelligence and personal growth.
