Perceived Authenticity vs Social Friction | Vibepedia

Perceived authenticity vs social friction is a complex interplay between an individual's genuine self-expression and the societal pressures that can lead to feelings of inauthenticity. This tension is evident in the works of philosophers like [[jean-baudrillard|Jean Baudrillard]] and [[judith-butter|Judith Butler]], who have explored the concept of performativity and its relationship to social norms. The rise of social media platforms like [[instagram|Instagram]] and [[facebook|Facebook]] has further complicated this dynamic, as individuals curate online personas that may or may not reflect their authentic selves.
