This picture is my profile picture on my facebook which also serves as my avatar. For instance, my friends on facebook see me as an outgoing and adventurous person based on the type of things that I post occasionally. The type of things that I post are along the lines of wishing for something I never had or even my own feelings about what good or bad things in my life. I believe that this profile picture represents myself as a happy and outgoing type of person which is something that is also conveyed to my friends on facebook and even people that I am not friends with on facebook. One way for other people to see what type of person that they see you as is to either like what that person posts or comments about on facebook. The fact that I have a small piece of my whole entire personality displayed on the web makes it a little easier to act a different way than what I act in the real world. Another type of representation that is displayed by my profile picture is that I like to have a good time with other people that I am surrounded by. For example, my profile picture is a picture of me at a Halloween party dressed as Michael Jordan which did not really work out as I had planned. Even though my facebook personality allows to have more freedom than I have in the real world I still am the same person.
