Abstract
How has the virtual reality of social media impacted our self-image? Has increased communication and possibilities for public self-expression brought us closer to ourselves and others? This paper proposes to examine the negotiation of intersectional postmodern social identity via a brief examination of the functions of social media, in the framework of individuation and personality integration. The historical role of tradition and modernity / postmodernity / metamodernity is explored; suggestions are offered for the creative use of social media as an instrument of self-expression, and the future of individuation in the era of social media is discussed from a depth psychological perspective.
