Answer to Question 1

Because the looking-glass self comes from our imaginations, based on our perceptions of others' judgments of us. Human perception is notoriously imperfect; thus, what we imagine others think of us is also likely to be distorted. In addition, others could be sending us misleading signals regarding what they think of us.

Answer to Question 2

A
