On today's show, I discussed the importance of not to miss categorizing, or miss characterizing someone based on their Internet persona. While it's fun to get to know someone on the Internet that you would never have the chance to meet in real life, we all have to be careful not to confuse that with a genuine connection.

Even I am guilty of finding a super high-status hottie's Instagram, and thinking that I had a connection with him that I truly didn't have. Even when you are on the Internet has a personality, you can brush up against the dehumanizing parts of social media. We are all capable of wandering into the pitfalls, if we are not careful.

Have you ever mistaken your social media friendship for knowing someone in real life?
