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?
What the author wants right now
I just want to vent
Best replies here sound like: “That makes sense.” “That sounds exhausting.” “I can see why this hit hard.”
