My Digital Self

The document discusses people's use of social media and how it has become incorporated into some individuals' identities. While posting online can boost self-esteem through likes and feedback, it also has risks if overused as people may forget reality or come to resent it. Moderation is important, as social media should be used wisely to connect with others without replacing in-person experiences and relationships.

We are the generation of connecting, the generation of giving all of ourselves to the

internet. One of those ways we connect is through social media, such as Youtube, Twitter,
Instagram, and Facebook. With the increase of social media, there are people who
incorporate it into their whole being. They post to show the world who they are and what
they do. It’s as though they are not a person unless they post everything that happens in
their life.

In my case, yes, I post online but not every single thing that happens in my life. Posting
and uploading photos online has also its own consequence and we need to be fully aware
with whatever we upload because it might be used against us. It might be used to tremble
our safety and our family’s. Yet, I also can’t blame people who finds satisfaction in being
active at the digital world. It somehow boost an individual’s self-esteem, people upload
photos and statuses online that they feel will receive likes and positive feedback in which
ultimately help their egos. There is also a bigger sense of freedom on the internet. One
might feel a sense of belonging on the digital world, and perhaps striving to become our
ideal selves is one of the reasons why people get hooked on these online platforms.

As the quote states, “Nothing is so bad that it can’t get worse” . Perhaps, everything is
good but with moderation. We should use social media wisely and mindfully. In conclusion,
the digital world has provided us with greater opportunities to express our identity in any
form we want to. But what we all need to remember is: how will we feel if we go so far to
express ourselves differently online that we forgot what reality is, or worse, we end up
resenting it?
