Is inauthenticity a word? Well it is now. I’ve been thinking a lot about my relationship with social media, and my social media relationships. I have 360 people on my friends list and until very recently I had a hard-fast rule against adding anyone to my page unless I’d had a real, meaningful conversation with them in real life at some point. During my pregnancy I became “friends” with a group of women who all were due in the same month as me, and I’ve added roughly 40 of them to my page since then. Keeping up with so many people is overwhelming at times. And it begs the question: how authentic are we actually being online?
