The chapter discusses how people form impressions of who they are and how communication affects self-perceptions.

How does this occur through social media?

For instance, why do people follow the Instagram feeds of people they don’t know? How are those popular Instagram users communicating a favorable perception of themselves through their posts that make people want to follow their feeds? How do you see yourself? How is this affected by your past, present, and projected future?

How have conversations you have had with friends, co-

workers, or other people at college altered the way you see yourself?
