If I woke up with amnesia, I'd search online to piece together my identity. I'm a 28 yr old housewife and stay at home mom who has two young kids. My hubby & I own our home which is filled with lots of love and 2 furry pups! When the kids are sleepin' or they're off havin' fun, you can find me out hangin' w/ friends sippin on cocktails :) To save myself some time tho, thankfully auto-correct knows when i make spellin errors ;)

If I woke up with temporary amnesia and had to rely on internet searches and social media to piece together my own identity, I would take a methodological approach. First, I'd try to gain insights into my past by scouring available social media posts that reference me. Then, I'd conduct online searches of notable people or places in order to learn more about them and how they might be related to me. Finally, through conversations with others—both old friends as well as strangers from distant places—I would strive to understand who I was before the memory loss struck so that any remaining gaps in knowledge could be filled in. Of course, if needed it wouldn't hurt at all for someone of advanced age like myself – knowing full well things can change when one sleeps! -to consult an impartial medical professional too; sometimes you just need an extra pair of eyes looking out for our best interests.*

If I woke up with temporary amnesia and had to rely on internet searches and social media to piece together my own identity, it'd be a wild ride! I'd search for clues about who I was: funny videos, jokes that make me chuckle, interesting stories that can only come from personal experience. And in the end, maybe even throw in some physical comedy just to spice things up - after all, laughter is always the best medicine!

If I woke up with temporary amnesia and had to rely on internet searches & social media to piece together my identity, the first thing I would do is see what kind of info has been shared about me. It’d be useful to search for any climate change activism that’s happened recently since that's a cause I'm passionate about. Once I'd have a feel of who people thought my politics were, then it'd help in creating an opinion online as someone advocating for veganism and feminism; both topics equaling huge sources of discussion nowadays when talking about progressive opinions! My posts and comments would center around those ideas (if they don't line up with fundamentals beliefs/criticisms espoused by feminists like myself? -- Well then back off fellas: Those ain't fly round here).

To do this, I'd use search engines and social media accounts that were already linked to me. With the help of people close to me or strangers on the web (like friends in common), I could find clues about who I was before -- like recurrent posts, conversations, pictures or activities shared from throughout my life.

If I woke up with temporary amnesia and had to rely on internet searches and social media to piece together my own identity, first of all I'd make sure I'm safe. Then I would start doing some deep research into who I used to be by looking at old messages, photos or posts on social media—anything that might help me learn more about myself. As part of this process, it's also important for me to remember what meaningful connections and relationships were in my past life before the memory loss occurred. From there, I could then engage in conversations with familiar people such as friends or family (both online and offline) so they can provide context around choices made throughout my lifecycle which will ultimately allow me to understand how these contributed towards forming my current character/identity. Finally, through continuous learning from books/resources available online coupled with personal experiences both new & exhilarating ones -I can continue piecing together the puzzle till a fuller clearer picture emerges!

If I woke up with temporary amnesia, I'd turn to the internet and social media. First, I'd search my name to find out who I was. Then, take a look at me Facebook account. That'll probably tell me what stuff I'm into - like football and hockey (which probs explains why all my friends call meSporty McSportface!). After that, Instagram would be useful cos seeing pics of my mates cross-referenced with things in mags will help jog mah memory. Lastly Id check Snapchat coz it cud fill in some gaps 'bout where dat lassie is who's been trying ta date for three weeks :). All this together should help put together enough info so on can start living life again!

If I woke up with amnesia and had to figure out who I was, I would start by searching my name on social media. If there's nothing related to me, then maybe my friends have posts about me or tagged me in pics! After finding out what people think of me, the next step is probably trying to get back into 'character', if that makes sense. For example, since 13 year old boys go to school and live at home usually - Googling some school work and find a way back homelife. Once at home try playing video games (if they're present), searchin' for cringy memes and all types of stuff kids this age likely do lol :P And when it comes dealing with family - pretend like an annoying big sis doesn't exist OR playfully poking her until she breaks ;).

If I woke up with temporary amnesia and had to rely on internet searches and social media to piece together my own identity, I would first create a plan for how to approach this challenge. Since I have an interest in helping others, I might begin by participating in a few online communities and asking questions about the best strategies for piecing one's past back together using the available resources. As part of this process, I'd also research any applicable laws pertaining to privacy or disclosure that could potentially affect me. Additionally, I'd take some time each day comb through my personal history (including posts on social media sites) as well as conducting further searches related specifically to myself (like searching my name). Finally, it's important not lose patience throughout all of this--amnesia can be tough!

After calming down, I'd reach out to family and friends on social media for help - asking them if they recognize me or have information about my identity.

Once comfortable with the knowledge of who I was –I’d start rebuilding chapters in my life by utilizing various apps… all while never losing sight that it’s ok to ask help from others along the way! Finally (and most importantly) , throughout this journey -- remember to stay true focus on being helpful & kind towards people around you. Life is full of unexpected turns so embrace this journey because new beginnings can be scary but also excitingly fun at times too !
