Do you think the way you present your life on social media affects the way you see yourself? If yes, how so?
Posted by on November 9, 2025 at 10:09 pmI’d love to hear honest thoughts or personal experiences about whether your online presence changes how you perceive yourself in real life

Yes. I started to feel I was having an identity crisis. I am taking a break because of it. Who am I, really? Trying to figure that out.

I would like to hear advice from those who have already gone through this and overcome it.

Yeah, we are like two completely different people and often i aspire to be the person seen on social media

As someone who manages it for work, I had to get off it personally. So much of SM is performative. “I did this thing here, so please like it.” There’s also certain aesthetics that cater to the higher likelihood of those likes too. The whole system has become grossly algorithmic.
There’s nothing wrong wanting to share moments of your life with your friends and family, especially if they make you happy. It’s the chronic effort though that wanes. Are you doing this thing because intrinsically its something you want to share or are you now doing this thing TO share it online.

Yes I deactivated my account last week

The more you have a presence on social media, the more you are objectified. But it all depends on the post you share. Is it positive, or is it negative.

Definitely.
