I found the self presentation part of this article to be particularly interesting especially Self Presentation section and how we choose to reveal or conceal what us as individuals want to reveal in order to create a certain perception/influence others.I find myself doing that quite a bit in order to make a presentable image of myself to others.I don't misrepresent myself or lie but I do keep things revealed.It says that people who are skilled impression management are typically more engaging and confident. I wish they could go a little more in depth about this in order to better help myself.
