Avatars and self-representation

The self we construct online—through avatars, profiles, and curated content—isn't false, but it's selected and performed in ways our physical selves never are, creating a new form of self-consciousness. Understanding this gap helps explain why digital life can feel both more authentic and more exhausting than physical presence.
