Question

When cooley used the concept of the "looking-glass self," he claimed that _______?

Answer 1

He claimed that "People see themselves as they think others see them".


Cooley's idea of the looking glass self, expresses that a man's self becomes out of a man's social associations with others. The perspective of ourselves originates from the consideration of individual characteristics and impressions of how others see us. As a matter of fact, how we see ourselves does not originate from who we truly are, but instead from how we trust others see us.
