Self-representation on Instagram

What do you think about people who create fake image of themselves on Instagram?

  1. don't know
  2. i think that such people do not feel valid in reality, so they tend to fake themselves on the internet. also, they do impact younger users.
  3. probably they don't feel good in their own skin; they think that the fake image might help them build their confidence.
  4. i think they want to feel accepted by society since everyone shows only perfect images and lives.
  5. i think it is a bad thing to do, because when people meet someone they met on instagram and that person doesn't look like the one in the picture, the first thought about that kind of person is that he or she is a liar.
  6. people observe others' lives and want to behave as if they live like them.
  7. i think it doesn't make any sense. relationships of every kind happen in real life and not on a social network, so i can't understand why a person should appear different from reality.
  8. to a certain extent, i think it's okay. i use filters to make my pictures more aesthetically pleasing, and i use face tune to smooth out details on my skin/body, sharpen some other details in the picture, and so on; but they are just touch-ups, every photographer does that, and even more. it's normal. when people edit their pictures so much that in real life you can't even recognize them and they look "fake," then that is not okay at all! they have serious body image issues and are fooling themselves the most about the way they look.
