7. THE SOCIAL SELF • SELF DEVELOPS FROM SOCIAL INTERACTION • FOCUSED ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF INWARD THINKING PROCESSES • THE DUALITY OF SELF • THE SELF AS SUBJECT (THE “I”) • ALL THOUGHT AND ACTION ORIGINATES WITHIN THIS PART OF THE SELF • THE SELF AS OBJECT (THE “ME”) • GUIDING THE ACTION BY TAKING ON “THE ROLE OF THE OTHER” (WIDER SOCIETY)

8. THE LOOKING-GLASS SELF • CHARLES HORTON COOLEY • SELF-IMAGE IS MANIFESTED AS WE THINK OF HOW OTHERS WILL SEE US • WHAT WE THINK OF OURSELVES DEPENDS ON LARGE PART ON WHAT WE PERCEIVE OTHERS ARE THINKING OF US • REINFORCEMENT • MORTIFICATION • SELF-DOUBT
