Identity - How to give this an exact description? People through years have encountered a few “ issues” or were hesitant to give this word an exact definition due to its contrariety and dissension. The perception of identity can be different from person to person, in other words from the point of view of others, like, based on nationality, languages, culture and it’s country manners. I would like to take a stand on my identity, personality - like hobbies in real life and my social life. How are they connected, are there any parallels between, how both of them can affect each other.
In general, I lead a pretty active lifestyle , especially then it comes to communication and hobbies. In school i talk with my friends on various topics, discuss some events or news which took place recently. On weekends me and my classmates go to fast food places, like McDonald’s and Burger King in order to eat and relax. I also run often, participating in running competitions. Jogging is also a part of my spare time activities. All that builds and shapes my identity outside the virtual world. On the other hand when I get home, i’m logging into my computer in order to look through all the messages I received during a day. On the internet, considering close communication with foreigners or people whom you know solely by meeting online, can conversation and communication standards sometimes be radically different. You simply behave differently and can become more courageous, quizzical, crafty and even wily, depends on the person or a group you are talking to. Let’s pick up a few examples. If i met a foreign guy online, and you both have contrariety of opinions, then it can lead either to a highly intellectual confrontation of the two sides, or develop into banal insults of each other. Roughly speaking opposition between two different point of views. Even your language and habits can change by exhaustion of thoughts while chatting with people online, since you do not know the person. By that you get more confident and less nervous, like your thoughts are delivered and performed better. As said it depends on the discussion topic and the opponent of course. That’s what I call the social media life of mine. What I’m trying to say is that some people are magnificently good at transferring their social life (only positive aspects) into everyday life. Let’s assume that I “suffer” or endure form social anxiety(fear for social situations, causing stress or making you feel very uncomfortable) and if it were not for the experience in communication that I gained in social networks when talking to other people, then I would still be afraid to speak in front of the class while reviewing a book. If you have a dream to get into politics, but you have problems with the perception of the crowd, big audience, then the method of social life is mixed with your daily routines is just for you!
