What we share online is not necessarily reflective of our whole reality

Keywords: wellbeing , emotional-wellbeing , self-esteem

But somehow as individuals we get away with perpetrating positive spin all the time. Maybe we don’t want to be judged for oversharing or ‘asking’ for something. But that fear of judgement blocks us from sharing our truth, and can prevent others from reaching out when we need it most. Maybe it even lets people think our lives are better than theirs, when really we are all a work in progress.

These days, phones in our pockets are changing our minds and hearts because they offer qualifying fantasies

According to Sherry Turkle, the Margaret Mead of Digital Culture that texting, email, posting, all of these things let us present the self as we want to be. We get to edit, and that means we get to delete, and that means we get to retouch, the face, the voice, the flesh, the body — not too little, not too much, just right.
