It is a scientific fact that you cannot measure something without changing it. The more accurate the measurement, the more pronounced the change. To get an accurate self-image, you would have to observe yourself very closely. This would inevitably change the self that you are trying to measure. So it is theoretically impossible to have a perfect self-image because having that image would invariably alter your self, invalidating the image. You can only observe yourself from moment to moment to see what you really are, because every moment that changes.
