The meme I made was meant in a figurative sense. Online, people like me tend to be more confident and voice their opinions more. This is probably because we can take the time to carefully plan out what we want to say, thus seem more eloquent online. In reality, I can be shyer and less sure of myself since I still need to filter what I want to say in day-to-day interactions. Thus, I feel smaller and less secure in the real world. Hiding behind a screen and anonymity can make people feel “bigger” and better than their offline selves.
