My daughter got me into this Catfish TV series. Being a movie freak of course I had already seen the docudrama. People meet online. Strike up a bond. Transfer onto each unmet other some incredible yet tenuous bond. Meet and discover, with heartbreak, that it was all a facade. That both sides in effect had simply held up a mirror to the other reflecting both the image of themselves they wanted to be seen, and the image of the other they wanted. The flattering projection of best me and best you.
Being a social media person and social commentator I always run the risk of being that catfish. So do most of you. I put a better foot forward if I can. I pump the image up a little. Maybe we all do. I don’t know. How many of us have met? More than once ? More than 3 times ? Other than at social media driven events ? Aren’t we all just projections and reflections ?
