“Not only my experience of socialization was affected by the internet, my own experience, towards myself too. I got lost in the image I had created for myself. I have repressed so many flaws and negative feelings that there’s been a rupture. I wasn’t able to tell what was me genuinely and what was that other self that I had created. At 19, every day I face a different identity crisis, regarding my interests, dialects, relationships, purposes. They are too complex emotions in relation to the virtual world, I felt like I’ve lost a lot off-screen life, but at the same time I feel that life is becoming a big screen. I want to leave this universe, but everyday I feel like I depend more on it, not only to sustain a social life, but also to exist.”
