A vida falsa por trás das redes sociais

From a psychosocial point of view, social networks can be defined as “digital spaces”, allowing users to manage both their network of relationships (organization, extension, exploration and comparison) and their social identity (description and definition). Furthermore, the virtualization of this world allows the creation of hybrid social networks, at the same time constituted by virtual connections and real connections that give rise to “inter-reality”, a new social space, more malleable and dynamic than previous social networks. The methodology used to develop this study was a literature review. Thus, the conclusion was that if people who use social networks need to know themselves, it is very easy for them to create a false life to be what they want, thus displacing the desire of the other.
