Do you show your true self or a mask on your profile picture?

1. absolutely myself, this is how I always look
2. I've paid some attention to how I look
3. I pulled out all the filters I could find!
4. A profile picture? are you crazy, I don't show myself on social media

4. screen time? I only use my phone for calling!
