Compensation
Compensation is a process of psychological counterbalancing perceived weakness by emphasizing in other arenas. by emphasizing and focusing on one's strengths, a person is recognizing they cannot be strong at all things and in all areas in their lives. for instance, when a person says " I may not know how to cook, but i can sure do the dishes!", they're trying to compensate for their lack of cooking skills by emphasizing their cleaning skills instead.
