I feel like I’m pretending to be someone else on social media

I don’t think I’m being real online anymore. Like… my posts look good, my stories are fine, people probably think I’m doing okay. But it’s not actually me. I only post the “safe” version of my life. The version that looks normal, happy, put together. Meanwhile, my actual thoughts are completely different. There are days I feel low, confused, insecure… but none of that ever shows up online. And now it’s reached a point where I don’t even know how to be real anymore. Even when I try to post something honest, I end up deleting it before anyone sees it. It feels like I created this version of myself that people know… and now I’m stuck maintaining it. Does anyone else feel like this? Or is it just me overthinking?
