How to Curate Your Digital Persona
Our Image In A Professional Setting
In a professional setting, our identity is largely governed by the perception of our peers, colleagues and bosses,
Our ‘image’ depends on how they measure the impact of our behaviour and actions, how our character is perceived and how we are compared with others. We cultivate our image as what others think about us matters more than we would like to think.

Our Image In A Professional Setting
In a professional setting, our identity is largely governed by the perception of our peers, colleagues and bosses,
Our ‘image’ depends on how they measure the impact of our behaviour and actions, how our character is perceived and how we are compared with others. We cultivate our image as what others think about us matters more than we would like to think.
Our Digital Image
People who want to hire us, invest in our companies or collaborate with us increasingly look at our digital footprints on LinkedIn, Facebook, Google and Twitter to ‘profile’ us.
As we go more and more online, the way we are perceived digitally, in our display pictures, zoom videos, emails and social media provides a mountain of data for humans, and machines to make judgements about our personal and professional attributes.
Working With The Algorithm
As companies and individuals access our digital avatars and make their judgements, we have the ability to curate them and tell them a story that we want them to hear.
We need to understand the algorithms that are formulated to identify signals and patterns, and ‘hack’ them to our advantage.
The Way We Live Digitally
- Your tone of voice can make others guess your truthfulness and even health. One can practice speaking in a way that is appealing and professional.
- The words we say or write can be easily analysed through AI software and create a full character profile of us. What we write will become our avatars language and personality.
- Our social media posts can be analyzed for quality, content and a whole spectrum of information can be dug about our beliefs, behaviour and preferences.

Predicting romantic desire
The things that are needed to be able to predict romantic desire.
- Actor desire. How choosy people are.
- Partner desire or average attractiveness.
- Compatibility: Researchers measured compatibility by subtracting choosiness and attractiveness from dater's scores of romantic interest.
Compatibility prediction
To account for research failure, it is believed that when two people actually meet, they form a shared dynamic that is more than the sum of its parts. Their individual preferences do not make up the substance of what they would find attractive.

TikTok
TikTok is reportedly 500 million users strong. It’s been a while since a new social app got big enough to make nonusers feel they’re missing out from an experience.

TikTok "tools"
- Filters as on Snapchat.
- The ability to search for sounds to score your video.
- It provides extensive reasons and prompts.
- Hashtags play a large role as a functional organizing principle.
- It nudges you and makes it easy to come up with material to post.
- Users are encouraged to engage with other users in two ways: Through "response" videos and through "duets" where a user replicates a video and add themselves alongside.
Fundamentally different
TikTok has stepped over the point between the familiar self-directed feed and experience based on algorithmic observation and inference. When you open the app, you don't see a feed of your friends, but a page called "For You" - It's an algorithmic feed based on videos you've interacted with or just watched.
It's not full of people you know or things you've explicitly told it you want to see. It is constantly learning from you and builds up a model of what you tend to watch. In short, it is like an Instagram centered entirely around its "Explore" tab.

How To Portray Yourself
You should like your photos but they should accurately depict your physical appearance. Well perceived pictures often feature a genuine smile (one that makes your eyes start to crinkle up) and a slight head tilt.
Briefly write what’s distinctive and interesting about you and what you’re looking for. Ideally, dedicate 70% for the former and 30% for the latter.
Choosing The Right Dating Apps
Research shows that people tend to fall for others similar to themselves. Being honest about yourself and your needs increases the odds that you will meet compatible people.
Besides being honest, you should consider an app’s target demographic and use the apps that fit your needs well.

Set boundaries in regards to your screen time
Whenever you feel like you are spending way too much time on your screen, consider setting clear boundaries: it is not the same to work and to just waste your time by watching things that might even end up increasing your anxiety.
Therefore, try using a separate device for work and personal activities and, the most important, make sure to set a limit to the amount of time spent while checking news on social media.
Choose quality over quantity
Whenever you choose to spend your time on checking social media, make sure this is not a wasted time.
So why not trying to learn something useful during the days when you cannot leave your house due to different reasons?
