 Cyberspace

Cyberspace is a term that refers to the interconnected

virtual environment created by computer networks,
including the internet, where digital information is
transmitted, stored, and accessed.

The device we have, the media that we consume, the

people we follow, and how we portray ourselves online
are all part of our digital self.

The information we have online including unintentional left data,

know as a data shadow serve as our digital identity.

Digital self is like an RPG ( Role playing Games) Where you get to
create a avatar and use characters as an expression of who you
are, what you want other to perceive, and how you want to portray
yourself.

phenomenon where individuals interact
with others on the internet without their
physical presence being a factor. In online
communication, people are often judged
based on their words and actions rather
than physical appearance.
Donald Winnicott

Donald Winnicott proposed a theory of self

that posited that there is a True self and
False self.
 True self

The True Self represents an individual's

authentic and spontaneous feelings, desires,
and emotions. It is a core aspect of one's
identity and is closely tied to one's
innermost, genuine experiences.
 False Self
False Self is a protective facade or persona
that individuals develop, often in response to
external expectations or pressures. The
False Self serves as a social mask, allowing
individuals to conform to societal norms and
expectations while hiding their True Self. It
can develop in early childhood as a coping
mechanism to navigate relationships and
adapt to the environment.
