I think you spoke about this sometime ago. the disparity between the online persona and one's personality. when it comes to our online self much is been projected, and this process requires a lot of filtering of the undesirable part of ourselves. Now, meeting face-to-face doesn't allow for such as you get to see both the good and bad, and sometimes the latter overshadows the other.
I think the reason why many people cannot connect is because of the unrealistic demands of social media. it has become more of a popularity contest where people struggle to be recognise, and in the end you find people with lots of followers and no friends--people they connect with beyond the superifical level.
