Answer:impression management

Step-by-step explanation:

-This is when we want to impress others, to let them see our best sides for example by trying to be a smart conversationalist in order for people to like us.

- Impression management is vital in building and maintaining social relationships and to show others that we possess qualities of leadership or just to show others our special abilities.

-Even though this is important but we also need to be authentic , show our real self and ensure that we don't over impress others in such that we portray a person that we are not in reality.
