If I am participating in online social interaction then now I dont think I would need to shape my identity or expressions to fit into the group, I only interact now with friends - who know my identity and my expressions so would know if I was putting them on!
When I was younger though I'd go in chatrooms and pretend to be older than I was so I could fit in with the people I was speaking too. Also, now - If I did go on a forum it would probably be a shopping one where people post new tops etc that they have found and are considering buying, which I might reply to and say Yes I think you should - or - No dont do it, sort of thing! However, because I am replying they might think I have the authority to do so, so they might think I know everything about fashion - which I definately don't! So I might be unknowingly creating an identity that others will percieve me to be.
