1. Social media can be used to help hide the real person we are, as typing words behind screen is always easier than behaving properly in front of a real person. 2. Social media offers another way to know someone; you can read about their life and opinions by following them on social media without, or before, having met them in real life. 3. Social media enlarges your friend circle but this may come at the cost of the quality of your friendships. 4. Social media can add creativity to a seemingly boring life, and everyone can be the director of their own life and share it with others.
