Today's Safer Internet Week post is about our Online Reputation.
Everyone shares a dual wish to make sure they show their best side to the world WHILE keeping it real. When doing this people sometimes find themselves faced with a choice between the two.

Benefits to staying authentic:
"We're more likely to trust a genuine person than a fake one because we believe those who are true to themselves are also likely to be truer and more honest with us.

We are attracted to uniqueness and individuality, qualities genuine people usually have." (from Dr Guy Winch (7 habits of genuine people))
