Online Identity Construction

Back in grade school/early high school years I was more reserved, but I was well liked in my group of friends.  For me my myspace (when it was popular) was basically me presenting myself in a way that I couldn’t do in person. Not a lot of people knew who I was and would judge based on appearance, but they would find out by my page. I had a lot of my likes/dislikes, artist, music, movies, friends, fashion, and other things about my personality and what made me ME. I guess I still do this in college with fb, but I’m more open and able to present who I am.  My thoughts, opinions, and actions reflect my beliefs, values, and  my personality. I no longer have to hide behind a page.
