First Impressions

Online Persona’s

When reading posts online, especially on social media, people tend to create impressions on people. This occurrence is especially evident when it comes to celebrities that post daily about their lives. Viewers tend to relate to these people and create their own impressions of how they think these celebrities would present themselves in the real world.

This same concept also applies to bloggers, journalists and authors. Readers that are consuming my work have a limited understanding of how my life operates or what type of person I actually am, although I reveal some information about myself on my blog the true picture is difficult to establish. Due to this, readers tend to use their creativity to fill in the gaps to make better sense of what who I am as a person.

People tend to take these internet impressions and attempt to visualise the appearance of the person based on the characteristic traits they think that online person possesses.

On the contrary, the Metaverse and other online platforms can be wonderful sources for creators to spread their interest/studies etc. without feeling the burden of revealing their actual personal identities. Many private people benefit from their online personas in this way.
