Self-concept refers to how you perceive your own behavior, abilities, and distinguishing characteristics. Beliefs such as "I am a good friend" or "I am a kind person," for example, are part of one's overall self-concept.
When you are younger and still in the process of self-discovery and identity formation, your self-concept is more malleable. As you grow older and learn more about who you are and what is important to you, your self-perceptions become much more detailed and organized.
At its most basic, self-concept is a set of beliefs about oneself and the reactions of others. It is the embodiment of the answer to the question, "Who am I?"
