Questions on identity

What do we present as public and easily understood by others, vs hide and make illegible to those outside our inner circle?

When do we use our legal name, vs a pseudonym, a private account, an alt, a finsta?

What do we intend to communicate to our immediate connections, vs to unknown strangers?

What do we express online as real, vs a performance? Is there a difference anymore?

How connected is our physical self to our digital self?

Where do we want more coherence between our identities, vs less?

Where is our identity safe, vs at risk of those who are watching or surveilling? 

What is our Storied Self – the life stories and experiences that we integrate and internalize into our on-going sense of self in the perceived present?
