Quote of the day by Winona Ryder comes from a comment about searching for yourself on the internet. Ryder said, “Googling yourself is maybe one of the worst things you can do. I did it once, and someone had to talk me off a ledge.” The comment describes her reaction to reading things about herself online. Her words raise questions about internet culture, self-worth, external validation and mental health. Searching your own name can expose you to comments, gossip and information that may not be accurate. The experience can also affect how a person sees themselves and responds to criticism.
