... "extimity" [is defined by] the process by which fragments of one's inner self are offered up for others to see before they are validated. In this way, revealing oneself online would not be a sign of obliterating private life or surrendering privacy, but rather a process for building a self that is dynamic, changing, diverse and under constant discussion.
