i.e. Persona

  • I’m struggling with how much to connect my online persona and my real-life persona.

  • Upon further thought, they seem quite different, both within and outside of school.

  • Twitter, the school community, and the outside world are loosely connected.

  • A: Twitter persona

    • @blu3mo
    • Platforms: Twitter, Github, AtCoder, Discord, etc.
    • I want to tweet casually, so I talk to some extent about the characteristics of persona C, which tend to hinder that.
  • B: Real-life persona (within school)

    • Real name
    • Platforms: School, Line group, Instagram, private Twitter account, etc.
    • Even if it may seem cool, it’s not that exciting, so B isolates themselves to some extent from the characteristics of persona C.
  • C: Real-life persona (outside of school)

    • Real name
    • Platforms: Facebook, etc.
  • Listing people who are involved with multiple personas:

    • Parents: C, somewhat B, not connected to A by conscience
      • I don’t know if my parents really know my Twitter account, but it’s not a problem as long as I believe “my parents don’t look at my Twitter.”
      • I don’t write anything that I wouldn’t want them to see, but it becomes difficult when I feel their presence.
    • Classmates: B, somewhat C
      • Some are also aware of A (I know three people).
    • Teachers: B
      • The teachers with whom I have a close relationship are also aware of C.
    • Untrodden path: A and C
  • Hypothesis: This natural state has been formed to avoid the disadvantages caused by Impostor Syndrome.

    • Due to Impostor Syndrome, I believe that my past achievements are overrated, but if I hide them, I will have difficulties in situations where I need to make an impression.
      • Therefore, in general, A and B, where I spend most of my time, hide those aspects and only show the external mode of C to resolve this (?).
    • I’m not sure if this is good (in fact, it doesn’t seem good), but for now, it’s good enough that I can recognize this.
  • I want to draw a Venn diagram. #Persona
