I don't think I have issues presenting myself, but just in case, I can count on my family and friends (not contacts) to tell me to put my feet on the ground. I think that in social networks,  body language is disguised, so people often use emoticons/texts that don't resemble a true emotion.
Therefore, nonverbal communication on websites allows users to  control the way they want to be perceived, on a certain moment.

You are right. When it comes to social networking you can say anything and nobody will know if you are being honest or just pulling a spur-of-the-moment joke. The majority of the time these social sites have people that portray theirselves differently online so they can have alot of friends in person also
