DIRECT REFLECTIONS

our concept of 'self' is based on people's attitudes towards us. (Veblen, 1934)

We unconsciously see ourselves the way others see us. (Mead, 1934)

In order to be a well-balanced individual, we must validate our own self concept from others. (Rosenberg, 1979)

We also need to have a particular similarity between how others view us and how we view ourselves in order to well-adjusted.
