Lesson Overview

11.27 – The Rise of Finstas, Fake Profiles, and False Selves: Hidden or alternate accounts often start as private escapes but can become masks that fragment identity. Managing multiple versions of yourself online drains emotional energy because each persona demands maintenance. Over time, you may forget which version feels real. Ask what purpose your extra account serves—protection, performance, or rebellion? If secrecy keeps you safe, maintain boundaries carefully, but if it hides insecurity, explore why openness feels risky. A unified identity, even imperfect, brings relief that multiple facades never can. The more honest you are about your digital self, the more peace follows. True privacy means authenticity with selectivity, not deception. Living as one consistent version of yourself strengthens trust, clarity, and self-worth across every platform.
