Ideal self - This is the person we want to become the perfect image of ourselves in our perfect lives.

Public self - This is the personality we don't mind anyone knowing about.

Real self - This is who we actually are.

Critic self - The controlling thoughts within ourselves as a way of coping with fear, shame and the unknown.
