This episode is about how the opinions of others CAN influence you and I emphasize can because you can choose not to allow it to influence you also.

The looking glass self is a term used by Charles H. Cooley he believed that we develop our self image through the cues we receive from others and there are 3 components to the looking glass self. Tune in and find out what they are. Also, if you are interested in reading more about these concepts, the book I am referencing is called Exploring Sociology, a Canadian Perspective, by Bruce Ravelli and Michelle Webber.

Thank you for listening!
