Very polemic issue.
we were always our own biggest critic to the point its hypocritical staring at the screen living a social media dream taking us away from our analog selves and making us digital...
I think that anyone who looks critically and honestly at what all their media outlets and accounts represent should be questioning how much of the real self is out there.
Sometimes it is not even about lying or playing pretend. Some social networks somehow makes us project an image that is supposed to be different, better than what we really are; it is supposed to omit the boring, pathetic aspects of our daily routines.
Some lives are very repetitive and lackluster, to put it nicely. Sometimes we want to think that by projecting a different self we can escape what we have and force the materialization of that better self.
