My online persona has completely diverged from my real life. Here's the split: [describe your online image vs. reality, the performance, the curated life, the gap, and the cognitive dissonance]. Map the divergence: online me (traits, image, lifestyle, success, happiness), real me (actual traits, actual image, actual lifestyle, actual success, actual happiness). Where's the gap biggest? Identify what I'm selling: what image am I cultivating online? What's the narrative? What am I emphasizing? What am I hiding? Why? Then analyze the cost: cognitive dissonance (exhausting maintaining two identities), imposter syndrome (people believe the performance but I know the truth), missed connection (people know the image not the person), relationship problems (real relationships can't compete with performed ones), and self-loss (which one is actually me?). Decode the motivation: am I creating aspiration or delusion? Am I documenting or performing? Am I sharing or selling? Recognition: social media is everyone's edited best but I've edited so much I don't know what's real anymore. Identify the trap: the more engagement I get on performed content, the more I perform; the more I perform, the less authentic connection I have; the less authentic connection, the more I seek online validation - cycle continues. Create the realignment plan: the authenticity audit (what's real vs. performed), the overshare/undershare balance (sharing more real, less curated), the online break (do I miss it or just the validation?), the identity clarification (who am I offline?), the connection priority (online engagement vs. real relationships), and the social media purpose (why am I here - connection, performance, or addiction?). Include: what I'm hiding that would make me more relatable, the moment the performance became exhausting, and whether online me is who I'm becoming or who I'm pretending to be.
