Answer
The best description of the looking-glass self is **c) Imagining how others perceive and judge oneself, influencing self-concept.**The looking-glass self theory posits that our self-concept is shaped by how we *believe* others see us. It's a reflective process, involving our perceptions of others' judgments, not necessarily their actual judgments. This perceived judgment then influences how we feel about ourselves.
