As everyone now seems to feel inclined to share everything online, there is a tendency to portray a certain self-image for the purposes of perceived recognition or judgement. The result is a divergence from being one’s true self that then leaks into behavioral traits in real-world social interactions, triggering an inevitable anxiety of feeling of isolation that has become a psychological pandemic. If everyone could just drop the mask and allow the inner self to be expressed freely, the world would be much simpler for all.
