Are You the Same Person on Social Media as You Are in Real Life?

[Wessel]

Is your social media presence an accurate depiction of who you are in real life?

 

[Beetlejuice]

In real life I'm extremely anxious and shy. I'm completely different online as I can open up more online.

 

[SheHulk]

Yea ok

 

[Gigi]

hahah YEAH!

i am what you see and hear...

 

[Nomad]

There are things that I do not truly reveal on social media, however, I do not put on a mask to use social media. I am me on social media.

 

[Ravenfreak]

I’m very shy in real life. I only talk when I have to and I have a few close friends. I do share stuff that I laugh at in real life so my sense of humor really doesn’t change online and in real life. So I am not fully the same person on social media.

 

[Shortie]

In terms of how I am as a person when it comes to trust, friendly, and such I am the same online as I am in person.

I feel being online though I can open up a little more than I would do in person. In person, I struggle with being shy and anxious a lot so that makes me a little different in person as to how I am online.

 

[Kyng]

Well, like several people here, I'm quite a bit shier in real life. Not to the extent that I used to be, but it's still noticeable!

 

[Katty66]

I'm with the rest of you, very shy! I've been bashful all of my life and I feel that it's really held me back from doing a lot of things I could have done. I don't think I'm shy online at all

 

[Jason]

Yeah, pretty much I am the same person. I don't try to put on a fictional persona online. However, I have seen people on social media being totally different in real life than what they show online.
