The social mirror is unrealistic. Media sells us that looks are
everything. Barbie Doll
The social mirror is always changing. “Who are you” said the caterpillar.
Alice replied, rather shyly, “I hardly know, Sir, just at present ---- at least I know who I was when I got up this morning but I think I must have changed several times since then.” Alice in Wonderland
The social mirror isn’t accurate. You are so much more than the
opinions of others!
