The Mask I Wear

The Course

Dive deep into the fascinating world of social personas with this exploratory journey into self-presentation and identity performance. Ever wondered why you're chatty and charming at parties but reserved and contemplative in solitude? We all navigate complex social landscapes and shift our 'masks' to adapt to different roles and settings. Through engaging lectures and interactive workshops, you'll uncover the psychological theories behind these adjustments and develop a keener sense of self-awareness about the faces you present to the world.

By examining case studies across various cultures and professions, you'll start to see the practical implications of these social strategies in everyday situations, from job interviews to family dynamics. This isn't just academic theory; you'll gain useful insights on managing your own social masks effectively — enhancing your interpersonal relationships and communication skills. Walk away with a toolkit that helps you align your inner values with your outer expressions, making every social interaction more authentic and impactful.

What you will learn

When I started piecing together this journey we're about to embark on, I focused on creating a space where you could explore the many facets of self-presentation and authenticity in a supportive, organized environment. The course is designed to help you peel back the layers of your external persona, giving you the real insight into how you express yourself to the world. I've carefully included exercises, thought-provoking discussions, and practical strategies to ensure that, as a newcomer, you'll find the experience not only enriching but also incredibly accessible. Think of it as a guided tour through your own narrative, where you'll learn to navigate the complexities of social masks with confidence and uncover a more authentic you. It's all set up to be a transformative experience that'll stay with you long after the course is complete.

Your instructor

I am Fidan Kim, an educator with a rich background in the arts and psychology, dedicated to exploring the nuanced interplay between identity and self-expression. My venture into the realm of teaching stems from a vibrant career in theater and counseling, where the transformative power of masks—both literal and metaphorical—captivated my imagination and professional pursuit. The journey through diverse landscapes of characters and the human psyche has equipped me with a deep understanding of the masks we wear and the stories they tell, making me a passionate advocate for self-discovery and emotional literacy.

"The Mask I Wear" is not just a course title; it is a reflection of my lifelong interest in unmasking the layers of personality that define and sometimes constrain us. I have cultivated this course with the intent to guide individuals toward recognizing and embracing their authentic selves amidst the pressures of societal expectations. I am relentless in my goal to create a safe space for self-exploration, where students can anchor their personal growth in the insights gained from our collective exploration of masks. Join me on this transformative odyssey as we uncover the mysteries behind the masks we wear and the truth that lies within.
