This helps you and your desire to become self-aware by providing a more stable view of your positive traits. This creates higher self-esteem and less vulnerability to the stress caused by inconsistencies between the actual self and the ideal self.
self-concept clarity
When there is a mismatch between your ideal self and your actual self, this becomes a source of distress for you and is likely to affect your self-esteem. In the same way, if the ideal self is consistent with the actual self, you react positively. In effect, highly self-aware people feel more pressure to live up to their ideals than those who do not know themselves well enough.
