Results were obtained from an extensive literature review, in-depth interviews, and participant observation. Erving Goffman's dramaturgical perspective was used to examine the data obtained. Teenagers in Cirebon use Instagram as a dramaturgical tool to shape their self-image, according to the research conclusion. Their front stage consistently displays positive aspects and the best material, helping them cultivate a positive self-image and get positive reactions from fans.
