/masks ๐ญ theory suggests that people wear social masks ๐ญ to hide their true selves.
Introduced by sociologist Erving Goffman, it explores how individuals use personas to conceal insecurities, project desired identities, and adapt to different social situations.
There are various types of masks ๐ญ: social masks ๐ญ for conformity, personal masks ๐ญ for authenticity, and protective masks ๐ญ for self-defense.
The theory highlights key principles such as impression management, role-playing, and identity negotiation.
Related theories include Jung's Persona, Freud's defense mechanisms, and symbolic interactionism.
Masks ๐ญ theory prompts self-reflection, urging us to uncover our true selves by examining the masks ๐ญ we wear. 10 replies
