Digital Narcissism: The Erosion of Authenticity in the Age of Self-Promotion

This publication examines the phenomenon of digital narcissism and its impact on human authenticity. It explores how digital platforms serve as mirrors for self-promotion, often at the expense of genuine documentation and moral integrity. Within the framework of my ongoing mission, this work contrasts the superficiality of the "digital sea" with the necessity of honest, trauma-informed documentation regarding historical abuse in institutions. Mission Statement: This work is part of a larger documentation project dedicated to uncovering and processing systemic abuse in residential homes, prioritizing truth and credibility over self-presentation.
