I believe most people represent themselves through social media. They allow other randoms to compare themselves to each other on social media. Sometimes the social media has its effects on a person. For example, are you really who you portray on social media? In point of fact, our society are illustrating their ideal selves, for instance research suggests that there is your “real self”- the actual “you” and then theirs your “ideal self”- depicting what you should be. These are all influenced by the social media. As this evolves, the idea of branding your “real self” or “ideal self” will prevail. It also becomes competitive with the amount of likes you get or the amount of friends or followers you have.
