Are we the same person as we are on social media?

One of the differences between our self-image in real life and online is more ability to change our LOOK, and also MASK our identity.�

"Now that we can interact with hundreds — no, thousands — of people simultaneously, we've strengthened the impact that others have on our self-value"

“Has that single chosen image become the most important representation of our online identity?
It is the first place the EYE is drawn to on a Facebook profile.”

“The profile picture or avatar is a way for people to present a certain side of themselves. It also puts the person in control of their own image.” Photo Credit: Cristoph_Aigner Source: Flickr
“Self-image is important, and not always in a narcissistic way. It's how we DEFINE ourselves, and
present for others to see.”!!

“Studies have shown that the comments on your Facebook profile picture strongly affect your level of
perceived physical, social and professional attractiveness.”!

By this logic, all of your “friends” on Facebook are the main in!uence in helping to craft your online self.

“Humans are naturally competitive. Visual social platforms, like Facebook, Instagram and Tumblr allow quick and frequent
access to others' profiles…this encourages social comparison.”

If our “friends” are just tools to compare ourselves to, are we really “connecting” with them? �

Using these tools to connect is damaging our connections to others in real life.

We’ve become accustomed to a new way of being “alone together.”

“The liMle devices most of us carry around are so powerful that they change not only what we do,
but also who we are.”

Our human selves are now becoming reflecIve of our social media selves, which is the opposite of the service’s original intenIon. Photocredit: Reuben F. Castro Source: Flickr
“We are tempted to think that our liMle “sips” of online connecIon add up to a big gulp of real
conversaIon. But they don’t.”
“Researchers have found that Facebook really is altering, or at least reflecIng new relaIonship
paMerns, even how people break up.”

“TexIng and e-‐mail and posIng let us present the self we want to be. This means we can edit.
And if we wish to, we can delete.”

We are so obsessed with
getting approval from everyone we know online, that we forget about keeping it from the ones we’re closest with.�

In a time where the virtual world has made friendship isolating, and loneliness connective, how can we maintain real relationships with others?

“I say, look up, look at one another, and let’s start the
conversation.” Photocredit: clairphotography Source: Flickr
