How different people are online than in their real life?

[Anonymous]

Based on my experience, I noticed that WhatsApp (or any other social) statuses are more than likely exact opposites of how the person truly is in real life. I mean,, hypocritical behavior is seen more often than ever.

People also like to live in sort of a bubble, it seems. They just want to be happy. Be it true happy or false happy, I don't believe it matters.

I also noticed that people just want to showcase their seemingly one-moment perfect life as if it is their whole life. I find it to be counterintuitive as posting specific moments can lead to the mounting of pressure, and then the cycle continues on and on. And may just burst the bubble.

What have been your observations?

I never put status, on any social. All of my uploads on IG are of nature or of things that I own and feel like showing others. Nothing personal on it. I try to be as emotionally distant as possible.

Most buy not all are there just to seek attention, validation and approval of complete strangers. One of my friends from Peru had some kind of party that she posted about. Get this, she wasn't even the party host nor was she invited. She was the "tagalong" friend lmao. And she was still annoyed that I didn't like her "memory".

Everyone socializes in their own way. Internet is very much about what crowd you want to attract.

the ones I know both online and in real life... are my friends and my family, people that are close and that I know well, know for a long time

so I don't really see any significant "changes" on who or how they are

the one thing that would vary is that they will either express more or less, online or in real life

with my friends... we are way way more talkative and engaging when we meet in in person... in person we could speak and hang out for six or eight hours, but online, not so much... lol, not for that long, or when we do, it is more rare
