As a dedication to internet babies like myself, this is a pick a card about your cyber alter ego. I will channel stuff about your digital footprint and your cyber alter ego, and what you can learn from it.

What is your digital footprint?

I feel like your digital footprint isn't easily traceable. You could be drawn to social networks like MySpace, but heavily into chat rooms or even forums. I'm not really seeing anything that makes me think of this as something that's in your past, I feel that these platforms could be a strong interest in your present, and that you also like to rotate in between sites with a new identity every single time. I do get that catfishing could be a guilty pleasure of yours, or sites where you are able to talk to real people without revealing too much of your identity which could explain why your internet whereabouts are hard to track.

About your cyber alter ego + What can you learn from it?

Your cyber alter ego, could be a hyper  representation of a side of yourself that you don't feel confident enough to show to others, or an embodiment of what you feel you lack im real life. I'm picking up a lot of themes relating to promiscuity. I'm not getting that online dating or commitments online is what you like, it's the thrill of testing your appeal on others and exploring the different ways that you can successfully flirt and draw in a person. Your cyber alter ego could also be ever-changing and flighty, but also vibrant? Popularity could be easy for you to attain on any platform. In person, your persona could be opposite, maybe "Gothic", where you're reserved meaning, not as open with others, or you're not seen around many individuals. Whay you can learn from your cyber alter ego, is that the way that you're able to entice people online isn't pulled out of thin air, the alter ego is derived from yourself, which still essentially means that it's a part of you and is real. It's already within you, you just have to feel comfortable with expressing it face to face. Spend time with yourself by learning how to love the sound of your own voice, by setting up prompts for you to speak into the mirror with, or even try recording yourself, and anything else that involves eye contact with yourself. If you have social anxiety but are in spaces where you still have to communicate with others, just keep it simple when you're speaking and don't feel pressured to elaborate your sentences, and lastly, let time be your secret weapon, don't fall for relying on substances to make yourself more outgoing, just remember that you don't have to be anyone else but yourself at whatever time that you feel comfortable to. Also, don't let discourage yourself from approaching others for a conversation either!

Pile Two

What is your digital footprint?

I'm hearing "skimpy" but "long". Your digital footprint could be coordinated and can easily traced back to when you were a kid. Maybe you guys are hard-core gamers, and loved mmorpg games. There's something that I'm picking up about accounts, maybe you have a long history with x-box, steam, or any other software that offers a variety of different games to play. You could have a username that you use for many different accounts where you're providing other people content, or you're watching another person's content. Games from your childhood could be significant too as well (or maybe there's this game that you've been playing since you were a kid), like IMVU, Meez, OurWorld, Wizard101, Webkinz, Toontowns, etc.

About your cyber alter ego + What can you learn from it?

Your cyber alter ego could be strongly related to your inner child, the embodiment of the freedom that you didn't have so much of (strict parents?) in real life. Being able to talk the way you want as well as about what you want. Being drawn to games with avatars, where you can dress them how you've always wanted to dress yourself. Or even just loving fantasy themed sites because it's another escape from reality. What you can learn from your cyber alter ego, is more about remembering the care free expression with little to no restrictions that you've experienced with being online, in real life. I feel like people in the pile could be consumed by the responsibilities and pressure that comes with being older, and are in need of a break. When you have the time, take a chance to look back at those games that you used to play and see if they're still available. Log-in or create a new account and try to do something different relating to what you couldn't do when you were younger, like for an example, if you were on punishment a lot, or told that your internet usage was time-limited by a parent (or teacher! Because I'm literally thinking about coolmath and those papa pizzeria games), play for as long as you want, if there was a premium feature that you had to pay for, but your parents didn't let you, try buying it yourself just to indulge in the nostalgia and excitement of finally being able to do it, even if it wasn't what you expected it to be. Most importantly, just have fun and see this as a space for yourself that doesn't give you stress.

Pile Three

What is your digital footprint?

Immediately I'm picking up girlsgogames, stardoll, vsco, pinterest, and standom pages. Your digital footprint is very consistent and Venus related. A lot of you could be content creators related to blogging, aesthetic pages, have a platform where you share beauty and self-care tips, or graphic design. I haven't even gotten to your cyber alter ego part yet, but I want to say that you guys are awesome! Please pass me some of your organization skills and your will to loyally stick with your projects. I'm seeing YouTube (vlogging) being a significant part of your digital footprint as well.

About your cyber alter ego + What can you learn from it?

Your cyber alter ego is your safe space. The place where you can have control and order but also peace that you maybe don't get in real life. Your alter ego could also relate to giving others the help that you actually want for yourself. In some way, you heal others by combining words and visuals that promotes motivation, productivity, and enthusiasm. Even if you aren't into spirituality, subliminals or law of attraction or assumption pages, you really do help a lot of people with manifestation and perseverance. What you can learn from your alter ego, is that the the help and love that you give to others, can also be given to you because you deserve it, you know? You're someone worthy to believe in too, and the way that you effectively help the community, regardless if it's on the internet, is proof of that. Don't be hard on yourself but also remember that the life that you want for yourself is obtainable and that things won't always be this rough for you, because life doesn't necessarily "get" better, you do. Take a look at the content that you create and really give yourself a pat on the back at all that you've already accomplished and shared with others whenever you feel down about what hasn't happened yet.
