Belamide, Charisse C.

a. How do you usually present yourself online?

I usually present myself with a simple profile photo and username. I don’t share many details about my personal life and prefer to stay quiet unless I have something important to say. I keep my online presence low-key to avoid unwanted attention.

b. In what ways is your virtual self similar to your real-life self?

My virtual self is similar to my real self because I enjoy learning and being curious in both places. Whether online or offline, I usually observe and listen more than I speak. I also like to keep my personal information private and only share what I feel comfortable with.

c. In what ways is it different?

Online, I can decide what others see about me and hide what I don’t want to share, but in real life, it’s harder to control how people perceive me because my actions and words are more visible.

d. How do you think your virtual self influences how others see you?

People might think I’m private or mysterious because my profile doesn’t reveal much and is locked. They may not realize the real me behind the screen since I share very little publicly. This creates a sense of distance between who I am online and offline

e. What did you realize about your online identity after doing this activity?

I learned that I have a lot of control over my online identity and what parts of myself I show to the world. My online self is just a small piece of who I really am, and people may not see the full picture just by looking at my profile.

a. How do you usually present yourself online?

When I think about how I present myself online, especially on a platform like Instagram, I aim to give a well-rounded snapshot of my life and personality. Looking at the photos I've posted, you'll see a mix of different elements. There are pictures that capture fun, light-hearted moments with friends, showing my social side and the importance I place on those relationships. Then there are images that hint at my interests and hobbies, whether it's a glimpse of me staying active or exploring new places. Ultimately, I try to post a feed that reflects the various facets of my life, giving a sense of balance and depth to my online persona. It's about showing that I'm not just one thing, but a person with diverse interests and passions.

b. In what ways is your virtual self similar to your real-life self?

One of the most important things to me is that my online presence reflects my real-life experiences and values. The friendships you see in the photos are genuine connections that I cherish. The activities I participate in, whether it's hiking in nature or celebrating a special occasion, are things I truly enjoy and value. I try to avoid portraying a false image or pretending to be someone I'm not. Instead, I focus on sharing authentic moments and experiences that are true to who I am. This helps create a sense of consistency between my virtual self and my real-life self, making it easier for people to connect with me on a genuine level.

c. In what ways is it different?

While I strive for authenticity, I also recognize that social media inherently involves a degree of curation. It's impossible to capture every aspect of my life in a series of photos and captions. Instead, I tend to focus on sharing the highlights ,the positive, exciting, and memorable moments. This means that the more challenging aspects of my life are often left out. Additionally, a single photo can only convey so much information. There's always a gap between the online representation and the full reality.

d. How do you think your virtual self influences how others see you?

I believe that my Instagram profile likely gives people the impression that I'm an active, social, and engaged individual. The variety of photos suggests that I have a wide range of interests and enjoy participating in different activities. The presence of friends and family in many of the pictures might convey that I'm someone who values relationships and connections. I hope that my online presence also communicates a sense of approachability and authenticity, making people feel comfortable reaching out and connecting with me. Ultimately, I want my virtual self to reflect my real-life values and personality, so that others see me as genuine and relatable.

e. What did you realize about your online identity after doing this activity?

Reflecting on my online identity through this exercise has been quite insightful. It's made me realize just how much control I have over the narrative that I create online. I have the power to choose which aspects of my life to highlight, how to frame them, and what message to convey. This realization has reinforced the importance of being mindful of the image I'm projecting and ensuring that it aligns with my values and intentions.Ultimately, it's a reminder to be authentic, intentional, and thoughtful about how I present myself in the digital world.

a. How do you usually present yourself online?

- I usually present myself online as a reserved person with an elegant style in my posts. I’m careful about what I share and keep things tasteful and composed. I also enjoy sharing posts that reflect my sense of humor.

b. In what ways is your virtual self similar to your real-life self?

- My online and offline selves are comparable in that I tend to be quiet and considerate in both contexts. Similar to how I want to maintain a low profile in person, I rarely divulge personal information online. On social media, I steer clear of contentious issues and hot arguments, which is similar to how I behave in person when I want to avoid confrontation or highly charged situations. Furthermore, although I may be more subtle in person, my sense of humor, which I do convey online, represents the playful part of who I am in real life. Overall, my need for seclusion and propensity for composure define both my virtual and real-life personas.

c. In what ways is it different?

- While my virtual self resembles my quiet and collected personality, there are some notable deviations. I have more time to consider how I express myself online, so my posts or shares may appear more polished or planned than in person. Furthermore, I may express myself more openly online through humor or memes than I do in real life, where I am more reserved and secretive. In some ways, the virtual world allows me to have more control over how much of myself I share, whereas in real life, I may avoid revealing certain thoughts or emotions entirely.

d. How do you think your virtual self influences how others see you?

- Due to my more restrained attitude online, I believe my virtual presence gives the image of someone who is calm, contemplative, and perhaps even a little mysterious. People may perceive me as someone who likes to remain neutral or avoid controversy because I do not disclose much about my personal life or participate in heated arguments. My postings, particularly those on comedy, may represent me as lighter or entertaining, but I am not necessarily an open book. Overall, my virtual self may lead others to perceive me as calm and somewhat secretive, with a propensity for keeping things low-key and controlled.

e. What did you realize about your online identity after doing this activity?

- I recognized that my online persona is a more manicured version of myself, influenced by my need for privacy and control. While I strive to be restrained in both the virtual and real worlds, online I have the advantage of carefully picking what I post, allowing me to offer a more polished and filtered image of myself. It made me realize how much I rely on humor and neutrality to communicate, and how much of my inner self—especially my thoughts and emotions—is concealed. It is evident that my online presence does not truly convey the complexities of who I am in real life, and that the virtual world allows me to manipulate and filter how people view me more effectively than in face-to-face conversations.

The humor, energy, and honesty people see online are also what they experience when they’re with me. I think my online personality just extends how I am in real life — honest, emotional, and sometimes funny without meaning to. I don’t really try to build a fake image online because I want people to see the real me.

c. In what ways is it different?

Online, I tend to be more open about my thoughts than I am in real life. I find it easier to post what I feel instead of explaining it face to face, especially when I’m tired or overthinking. In person, I can be more quiet or try to keep things light even when I’m not okay. My virtual self also looks a bit more confident because I can choose what to show. Still, everything I post is real — it just depends on what I’m comfortable sharing at the moment.

d. How do you think your virtual self influences how others see you?

I think my virtual self makes people see me as open, expressive, and maybe even talkative or dramatic at times. Because I post a lot, others might think I’m very outgoing or confident, when in reality, I also have shy and quiet moments. Sometimes, I feel like people expect me to always be cheerful or strong because that’s what they often see online. I think my virtual self gives people both the fun and emotional sides of me, which helps them see me as real and relatable.

e. What did you realize about your online identity after doing this activity?

After doing this activity, I realized that my online identity shows a lot about who I am, but not everything. It’s a big part of my personality because I express myself better through posts and stories. I also noticed how social media can make people see us differently based on what we post, even if it’s not the full story. This activity made me more aware of how my online behavior reflects my real-life personality and reminded me to stay genuine but mindful of what I share.
