…. Or should I say, what does your profile picture make you feel about yourself?
I've been thinking about this a lot lately, because I notice that I perceive myself (well, my internet self) differently based on my avatar. Like, if I have a cute, feminine avatar, I feel like I'm extra sweet and girly for some reason. XD Or if I have a kinda sexy avatar (like my last one basically) I feel like I'm all cool somehow and my esteem gets raised…
Anyone else experience this? Or is this just me?
As much as I like my current avatar, it's giving me an indentity crisis. My new avatar is kinda like that mild tempered, smart, girl-next door type… And that's not really me at all. I always thought of my internet self as a more extroverted version of me who can actually say what I want without it coming out as unintelligible umms and filler words….
But now my internet self feels like a different person, purely because of my avatar. Maybe I should change it, it feels weird…
