Canadian singer Alanis Morissette says she "gets a sense of self" that she never had from looking at her own Instagram page.
The 41-year-old recently unveiled her deep interest in psychology and spirituality, and is currently working on a book that is half memoir and half "reflections, insights, regrets, and just straight-up teaching", reports femalefirst.co.uk.
She also regularly keeps her fans updated with her progress in life through her blog and Instagram feeds, and admits that these methods of sharing have proved eye-opening for her. "I've always had a little of a blind spot around how I am perceived. But there's uniformity now," she told Vogue magazine.
"This may be a crass way of understanding it, but there's something about even looking at my own Instagram, looking at my blog, where I'm getting a sense of self that I never had," she added.
