/masks 🎭 theory suggests that people wear social masks 🎭 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 🎭: social masks 🎭 for conformity, personal masks 🎭 for authenticity, and protective masks 🎭 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.
