But exactly the same is true for regular communications, especially for teenagers, whose whole life is making impression on their peers.
- inglor_cz 6y agoThere is a difference, though. In real life, a lot of your conversations are either one-to-one, or in a very small group of people who are not obsessed with impressions. You are freer there. On the social networks, the peer group is much larger and much more attentive. Private conversations can be had, but public conversations with massive audience of listeners are way more common than IRL.
