One of the biggest misconceptions about social media is that it enables users to craft a new personality and persona that is different from them in “real” life.

Social media is really more transparent than some people may realize. It is just too difficult to mask your opinions, interests and tendencies when you have such quick and easy access to direct communication tools.
