Counter-Intuitive Social Experiment: One Authentic Expression to Rediscover Yourself

This is a product design that disrupts traditional social patterns, with a core concept of ‘counter-intuitive’—not focusing on user retention but encouraging users to leave after use, to achieve the goal of ‘leaving more like yourself than when you arrived’. The product limits expression through a ‘high-friction’ mechanism, introducing ritualized interactions like ‘slow writing reflection’, allowing users to feel the weight of expression through restraint. The interface design is minimalist, featuring only an email icon and three status entries, with an immersive deep sea or starry sky background, creating a meditation-like digital space. The business model is designed around ‘restraint’, setting barriers to eliminate anxiety. This experimental product is not only a critical reflection on current social platforms but also a philosophical exploration of existence, expression, and choice, offering a new perspective for finding self-identity in an era of information overload.
