Observations&Reflections #13
Yesterday I was scrolling through facebook when I found out something that I have never paid attention to. I noticed that people tend to share with others only positive aspects of their life. They post photos from holidays, meetings or parties presenting their life as a perfect living. It occurred to me that people create in social media an ideal self-image which is often a fake one. Due to the fact that anyone can see our profile on the web, people want to impress others, no matter if they know them or if they are strangers. That is why they try to idealise their persona. It made me realize that we should be careful while using social media because there is a really thin line between sharing moments from life and pretending someone who we are not.
