'I need your advice,' she says in the video, 'He's only ever seen me with filters on. What am I going to do?' Her video, which has garnered significant views and likes, reflects a common experience among online daters who struggle to balance their online persona with their real-life selves. This situation underscores the importance of authenticity in online interactions and the pressures of maintaining a curated online image.
