"Who I Thought I Would Build My Identity On and Who I Actually Built It On" - A New Trend Online

When you want to become a nanny Vika, but end up as Frog Arkadiivna.

Twitter users have a new trend: "Who I thought I would build my identity on, and who I actually built it on." In this trend, users discussed the characters that inspired them in childhood and who they ended up resembling.

It likely all started with a tweet from user @twitshama: with this caption, he posted photos of Nathan and Simon from the series "The Misfits."

In the comments to the post, he explained that it's not about the discrepancy between expectations and reality, but about a shift in priorities: you just realize over time that Simon is actually cool too.

The format was quickly picked up by other users - with different series comparisons.

Many used examples from cartoons.

In the comments, it's noted that overall, this is even better.

A tweet featuring Ryan Gosling didn't take long to appear.

And of course, where would we be without "Harry Potter" characters.

There are also those whose experiences went exactly according to plan.

Not always for the better, but according to plan.

Who inspired you - and who did you become as a result? Share in the comments!
