The Real Me - Unmasking the Digital Self

Author : Dr Moupali Mittra

In a digitally driven world where identity is shaped by visibility, metrics, and comparison, The Real Me: Unmasking the Digital Self addresses critical challenge faced by today's youth-the quiet fragmentation of self. As online validation increasingly influences self-worth, emotional well-being and authenticity are at risk.
Drawing from emotional psychology, identity studies, and lived experiences, this book explores how digital habits impact anxiety, loneliness, identity fatigue, and the pressure to belong. Through relatable narratives and reflective practices, it offers young readers awareness, emotional clarity, and practical tools to rebuild self-trust and authentic connection.
Compassionate and insightful, this book speaks directly to students and young adults navigating digital overload. It is both an academic reflection and an emotional guide-reminding readers that identity is not something to perform online, but something to live with awareness, integrity, and courage.
