The looking glass self is sociologist Charles Horton Cooley's term for the social aspect of the self that responds emotionally to the imagined judgments of others. In imagining how others are judging us in their imaginations, we respond through a variety of self‐feelings, such as pride, shame, and envy, depending on the status attributed to the other person, and the context of the interaction. In order to correct common misrepresentations of the looking glass self as a mechanical process, the concept should be understood in terms of Cooley's holistic sociology and his views that relate to human agency
