With social networking, you can easily hide facts about yourself. You can make you out to be a better version of you. While if it is someone you meet in person and get to know by talking face to face, you can see HOW they interact in a different way. They won't be exactly exposing themselves, but you can still catch on to how they feel or think about things while seeing them in person. You can see their reaction to what you say or what you hear. While on twitter they can just say something, you don't really know if they are laughing or crying, you are just reading what they give you to read. But something like twitter, people can also feel safer to expose their true feelings on subjects because the people who follow them, they might not know in person. So in that was it is reversed, you are giving the real you to people you have never meet, while people who have know you for years get a watered down version of you.
