The Construction of Self Through Positive Reflections

Our experience of self is in auditory thinking, visual thinking and the emotional quality of the body. The external world or other people are really experienced externally external sight, external sound maybe a tactile sense of them but also the empathetic experience of them  and we begin to build working models of other people. We don't have the cognitive ability to really understand the complexities of these things or to understand whether or not the reflections that are coming back to them are an accurate portrait or not. As we construct through these reflections the experience of self that we have we begin to carry that forward this identification and these working models of self develop over time and can become quite complex.
