    1. the sense of the self as a social actor begins to emerge around the age of 18 months.

      Wow!! this is so early in the human development to be living as an actor playing a part for others.

    2. First, the self may be seen as a social actor, who enacts roles and displays traits by performing behaviors in the presence of others.

      I think the word choice here is so interesting. I love the way he compares "self" as an actor (i.e. life as a movie, others as the audience.) It helps us see that the characteristics we display to others as what our "self" is, are similar to those of a movie script.
