Healing the broken Looking-Glass Self is how we heal social anxiety. Broken looking-glass self is social anxiety trauma. When we are concerned what toxic people think about who we are -and we cannot tolerate them hating or being disgusted by us - real or imagined bad image of ourselves in other people's minds - that keeps social anxiety motorized. Since broken looking-glass self can only occur in toxic ambient, ACE, ACoA and shame culture countries - social anxiety is always accompanied by complex trauma and toxic shame and inner critic - that falsely appears to CBT and DSM as mental disorder and diagnosis. While true perpetrators of trauma are never examined by clinicians. Basically victims and targets of abuse get the therapy that is actually needed for the abusers - whom never seek help due to mental disorder, personality disorder of refusing to admit being demented. Healing the broken looking glass self means accepting toxic people that they are allowed to form whatever bad opinion about us and not doing anything to change their vision and conclusions that they have about us - while in the same time we shift our energy, focus and time onto our own needs, common sense, goals, tasks and desires that are related to our well being and service to community - where healthy looking glass self is part of Michelangelo Phenomena - where we chisel each other through rising each other up (opposite of crab mentality) - also called interdependency. With toxic people and broken looking glass self (social anxiety) - we stay hooked onto manipulation and pathological liars, trying to please them into liking us, such as people pleasing, fawning, self-censorship, being scared of criticism and making ourselves as small and invisible as possible - mostly through avoidance and missing opportunities in life due to fear of scrutiny of toxic people. I am not sure why resources do not make connection between social anxiety and broken Looking glass self. Social anxiety proves that this theory is real, it is actually the principle and law. IT is real. Cooley was correct in his proposals about theory of self.
Thanks for breaking down the link between social anxiety and the broken Looking-Glass Self. It's eye-opening to see how toxic environments can impact our self-perception. Have a good week.
