Have you ever felt like you're juggling different identities when you're online? You're not the only one facing this challenge. We all want to be liked, followed, and valued in the online world. However, this need for validation can lead to self-doubt and an issue of digital identity crisis.

Today, we'll explore the prevailing issue of virtual identity crisis. How do we slowly get pulled into it? And how do we prevent it from affecting our mental health and sense of self?  

Our generation is completely hooked on tech, right? I mean, social media, smartphones, and metaverse, you name it, we're all over it. Despite the thrill and excitement, the digital world provides, have you ever stopped to think how might affect our mental well-being and self-image? Why do so many of us feel like we're losing ourselves in the chaos? Why do we struggle with authenticity in the digital age? And why do we have this desperate need to be liked by everyone? 

We will give you answers to all these burning questions in this blog, just be patient for a little while and keep reading! 

Let's say, for instance, you're scrolling through your social feeds, and every post feels like a highlight reel from someone else's life. Their lives seem perfect and it feels like they’re always having fun, but deep down, you can't shake the feeling that something's off. Sounds familiar? Yeah, welcome to the club! 

On the internet, it's easy to get led away and chase after likes, followers, and online validation. But here's the catch: the more we look for these small highs, the further we move away from our true selves. It's like trying to find your way in a maze with no exit. 

When we are constantly bombarded with reels, videos, and stories of these perfect images of other people’s lives, it's quite easy to fall into the trap of comparison, FOMO (the fear of missing out), self-doubt and self-image issues.  

All of this can leave you feeling inadequate, anxious, and downright lost in the middle of all this online perfection. And let's not forget about the pressure to maintain your online image, to keep up appearances even when you're struggling behind the screen. It's like living a double life, and it can take a toll on your mental well-being and can seem like a heavy burden.  

But Hey! It's not all doom and gloom! Not all of it is bad. We can still have fun with tech while finding our own path to happiness and fulfilment. 

THERE IS A WAY OUT- COPING WITH DIGITAL IDENTITY CRISIS 

Although, coming out of this maze may seem quite challenging, but fear not, I've got a handful of easy tips to help you find your way back to your true self.  

• Be Yourself, Everyone Else Is Taken- Instead of trying to fit into someone else's image of perfection, accept your uniqueness and flaws. After all, it's your differences that make you stand out in a sea of sameness. 

• Connect With People In Real Life- While online friendships are great, don't forget about the importance of real-life connections. Spend time with friends and family, take up hobbies outside, off the internet, and remember that there's more to life than likes and followers. 

• Be Kind To Your Mind- Be kind to yourself, both online and off. Remember, that everyone struggles with their digital identity from time to time and it's okay not to have it all figured out. Indulge in some self-care and focus on what truly matters – your happiness and well-being. 

• Find Your Tribe- Surround yourself with people who lift you up and love and support you for who you are. Whether it's joining a book club, attending a workshop, or connecting with like-minded individuals online (psst…try Unreveald), finding people who match your vibe can help you feel less alone in your struggles and remind you that you're not the only one going through it. 

Remember, it’s easy to get lost in this ocean called the internet, but we must consciously take actions towards keeping it real. By connecting with our loved ones or sharing our concerns with people who understand what we are going through, we can ground ourselves and move towards a happy state of mind.
