The evolution of self-perception in the digital age is intricately linked to the rise of social media, which has transformed how individuals view themselves and their place in society. Historically, self-perception was shaped primarily by direct interactions with family, peers, and community, along with the media consumed through traditional outlets like television and print. The advent of social media has introduced a new layer of complexity, as it offers a platform for self-expression while simultaneously exposing users to a relentless stream of curated images and lifestyles. This duality creates an environment where individuals must navigate their self-identity amidst a backdrop of idealized portrayals that can either inspire or diminish their self-worth.
