Impression Management
Captions available
The idea
Impression management is the work people do to shape how others perceive them, selecting what to display and what to withhold.
In practice
A curated social profile displays flattering photos and a polished bio, whatever the day behind the camera actually looked like.
Where people slip
Everyone does this constantly; it is the ordinary condition of interaction.
