Is it true that we spend too much of our lives convincing others that we are someone we are not?

In today’s society, our personal lives are more open than ever. We are able to connect using different types of media such as comments, photos and videos. One of the things that I don’t think people realize is how each of these types of media can be filtered by the person. Took a selfie that you blinked in? Just don’t post that one. Swearing in a video? Don’t upload it. The image that is created in social media can be viewed as one sided therefore leaving people to not take in any speculation into the complete characteristics of a person. Knowing that the internet is such an open source and is accessible to practically anyone, your online image is the image that anyone can access at any time. The more pressure that is caused by the accessibility of the web can determine how much a person will “embellish” their image possibly to the point of losing themselves in the process. We all spend time creating a fake part of our selves to fit into this box we call society.If times on social media correlate with the time that we create our fake selves than we spend too much time creating a fictional society than we should.
