Social Media Personality Syndrome

Many a time I've wondered about the way people are, especially when I've interacted with them or seen them interacting with others in real life as well as in virtual world called social media, mostly Facebook and Twitter. They post, they comment, tweet and retweet on things they wouldn't even dare to talk in public in real sometimes making me wonder which one is real! Mostly, following someone on these platforms, say, a friend's friend who's a very active person on any of these sites, who keeps on commenting random stuffs giving you an idea that they are supercool but once you meet them in person, you realise they are totally the other way around.

There are  people who appear so smart, intelligent, humorous, sensible blah blah blah but in real utterly stupid, for instance, your's truly! So the whole point is, are people truly double faced? (Forget about me, I admit I'm stupid, its  their problem that they take me wrong ;) ) So we were talking about being double faced.. or is it like everyone's playing the attention seeker? Personal branding you see! Or is it a syndrome which in my terms can be called as "social media personality syndrome" just like the multi personality syndrome? May be it is! OR the extreme chance, the limitations in the country where your freedom of expression is restricted and all you get is a chance to express via a virtual platform where  you  can take back your words with a  delete button unless someone takes a screenshot as evidence ;)

Anyway, whatever the reason be, its true that most of us want attention, especially when we see our peers getting it through the digital media and  we tend to prove we are not behind anyone by faking ourselves or showing what we actually are!

Bottom line : Everyone out there has a fake personality which  only people like Zuckerberg could bring out!
