Self-impression Management

I present myself through Facebook every day; I consider that it would be a powerful example of impression management through Facebook, and it also enhances the relationship with my friends. The reasons as below.

Firstly, when there are something that I would not like to share with my friends, I could write them on my Facebook, and Facebook is also a relatively safe software that could not easy to leak my privacy to public.

Secondly, everything I post on my Facebook, no matter what it is, I need to take care that I post the things are beneficial to my friends. I could share some funny things with my friends and also post some helpful words to my friends. It could bring some positive energy to our friends. However, the Facebook represents an element part of myself, instead of my whole self.

Thirdly, Facebook is not only written some interesting things but also could forward from others, through this way, it could represent that what my favorites, like and dislike and it could make my friends know me better and establish a good image among my friends.

Fourthly, my use of Facebook could also behalf of impression management because of the way I change my profile picture is not often. When I change it, I also confirm that it is a picture look very good. I want my friends both like it, and this is a conscious impressions management. I am trying to find another way to make myself looks better.

In conclusion, I hold the view that Facebook is a good tool to enhance our impression

management; it could promote the relationship with my friends, and it is also beneficial to the

development of our society. So I advocate people to use the Facebook to share and communicate

with friends frequently.
