Hana's identity

My identity in person 

My identity in person can be displayed in many ways such as clothes, tone of voice and body language.
First, I like to wear casual styles of clothing and earth tone colors. For example, a white plain t-shirt with jeans. This style of dressing shows my personality that I am an easy-going person and live simply. Moving on to my voice. I have a lower tone of voice ane tend to speak softly these things make me look unfriendly and unenergetic towards other people's perspective. For this reason, I try to speak more assertively and clearly. Additionally, gestures and body language also reflect my identity. Most of the time I express my feeling by facial expression rather than hand gestures. So, people who surround me always say that my emotions and moods are easy to notice. Although, hand gestures are being used automatically when I can not think of the word while I am speaking. These personalities which mention above all indicate my identity in person.

My identity online 

My identity online depends on the application that I use. Instagram is the application I spend time the most as same as many teenagers do. So, I prefer using a photo of me to let people know that it is my account and getting easier to contact other users on Instagram. On Instagram, I usually post about my daily life, food, and stuff on my IG story. When I travel or in my vacation time I like to share pictures on my Instagram too. This kind of thing that I upload on Instagram represents myself that I enjoy eating, traveling and hanging out. Yet, for my email account, I do not like to put a picture of myself in my profile because I only use e-mail to send my work and contact formally. Thus, I think that not having a photo on the email profile will make my account look more polite. Hence, different applications with different purposes of using will display my identity online differently.

Conclusion: How accurately my online identity communicates who I am

I am not really sure. I post a lot of happy photos and good things on my social media. In fact, it is just only a small part of my life that I want to share. But there are also many parts of my life that not in social media as well. I personally believe that most of the people who are on social media want other people to know themselves by a good picture or the post that they upload. However, those things could be a little part of their life. Therefore, we should not judge them only by what they are on media sites.

  1. The first thing I thought when I read Hana's introductory blog post about her identity was that I never wear a white T-shirt, and rarely wear jeans. In fact, I haven't even owned a T-shirt, not even one, for many years. I usually dress informally when I'm not at work, but for me, that always means a button-up shirt with a collar. I do own one pair of jeans, and I wore them about three years ago, but they in my wardrobe in case I need them again. I think this might be a sign of getting old: I was never a big fan of T-shirts, but I used to wear jeans regularly. I guess my age, which is a part of my identity I can't control, also influences other aspects of who I am.

  2. I think so too about the social media does not express all of user life’s parts. Nowadays, almost people would not like to show their sadness or their real feeling. In contrast, they always show their happiness or show their successes for appreciation such as “You’re superb”, ”That’s fantastic” and etc. Thus, I really like and agree with your last sentence that you wrote in a conclusion that “we should not judge them only by what they are on media site” because no one will show all of them in their social media.
