The advent of social media has led to the birth of new identities with the consequent redefinition of the Self. Even researchers and scholars had to adapt their theories to the latest advances with a disruptive force: the emergence of the Digital Self and the new conceptions enclosed within the dialogical Self. Suddenly, they had to deal with an individual who built his identity according to virtual relationships through storytelling and the publication of images and posters. To complicate the situation, you must consider different realities and modes of behaviour depending on whether you are online or offline. The present work reviews the scientific literature that revolves around these topics, assuming, if subsequent research data should confirm it, that narrating oneself on the net performs the same functions as narration within novels or short stories, that of being able to resolve, through writing and self-examination "The Digital Self", previously experienced.
