Curated Self: Ano gid bala itsura mo?

These days, social media structures have an important place in our day by day

lives. Social media are utilized via people to exhibit our daily experiences via stories.

Social media has created a digital identity for us. platforms which include Facebook,

Instagram, Twitter, etc. are believed to be increasingly integrated into our social and

professional lives. When we select our photos before we publish it to social media, we

put filters, stickers, and modifications for the betterment of the photo itself. For an

instance, before uploading my picture to my Instagram account, I must edit the picture

and modify so it becomes an ‘instaworthy’ post. When we say ‘instaworthy’ Something

that is “worth” taking a photo of and be posted on Instagram. It projects our curated

self; we project the image of ourselves that we just like the most or even a picture that

we don’t have but that we would love to project it to the world of curated beings.

Kis a, ginapamangkot ko man sa sarili ko nga “Ano kaya panan aw nila sa akon

sini sa personal? Sa Facebook, cute ko lantawon sa Facebook kay nami akon nga pag

edit sang picture, nami akon nga pag pose. Pero sa personal, habok kaayo ang itsura

tambok nga tawo ang makita mo sa personal di parehas sa facebook nga daw payat ko

lantawon o ang gina gamit ko nga picture ng akon nga mga throwback pictures nga

worth it ipost sa Social media world.”

All of us have an ideal self. we all want to maximize our careers, to achieve success, to be

splendid men or women, and to have all of it. The social media global continues to adapt

and so does our perfect self. It’s essential regardless of what platform you use to take

into account what we see on social media isn't always real. The notion of a clean house,

as an instance, can also, in fact, be just a clean corner of the room. The perception of a

wrinkle/spot-free face may be a filter out. we can create perceptions and we all may be

responsible of this. yet it's far when these perceptions of our ideal self begin to intervene

and take over our real self, it's far then bad emotions can rise up consisting of anxiety,

low temper, and a lack of self-belief.
