Answer:

people see themselves as they think others see them.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1902, Charles Horton Cooley, created the concept of looking-glass self which is a social psychological concept, that states that individual modify his or her self-perception based on how s/he guess others perceive him or her, not really, how they actually perceive him or her.

For example, If an individual changes how s/he think about him or herself, then such individual is modifying his perception about his self-concept.

In other words, this explains that, People shape themselves based on what they think other people perceive and confirm other people's opinion on themselves.
