Songs to Remember: When the Moon's Reaching Stars - Persona 3 OST

        Last night I was thinking about Em and how she's kinda ignoring me on Facenovel. Then I thought about how people make absolutely confusing and pointless tweets on Twitter, then I though: persona. People's internet personas, interesting topic right?

        First of all, I'd like to make it clear what my internet persona is before I go criticizing how others view their internet personas. My internet persona is like, well, a dude who thinks he's stands out from everyone else whereas in reality a guy who messes with people's ask.fm pages and points out stupid comments and statements. That pretty much sums it up.

        So what is an internet persona anyway? Well, a persona is the aspect of someone's character that is presented to or perceived by others. And I did not get that from Wikipedia. I've noticed that people act a lot differently on the internet than in reality, maybe because of protection behind an LED screen, or maybe the anonymity.

        People often act tougher or act like everybody knows em'. On the Twitters of girls in my classes, oh my god, why are they all the same? They all post comments and stuff, acting like their crush or ex is gonna see it. All I see is "sorry for bothering u with my friendship?? lmao", "or don't text me that's cool too", and "I'm just another girl to you". WHO ARE YOU TALKING TO?

        Those were all from one person by the way. Then there are some people whose personas I can't even comprehend like some tweets: "I find it really weird that we're gonna be middle aged one day" and "why do all those twitter famous accounts always post the exact same thing". Even I can't comprehend why.

        Uuuhh, some people do stuff like ignore, block, all that stuff on social media sites when they want to avoid someone and it makes them feel secure because of an LED screen. Then in reality, that person meets them and they're just like "Sh**, how do I avoid this?"

        I probably should have stated the topic as "Ignorant things I see in social media" rather than "Internet personas" 'cause talking about internet personas is a lot harder than I thought it'd be. Anyways, I'll see you tomorrow.
