[1] A person connected to the internet is considered not only physically in the space in front of the computer but also virtually represented, with the opportunity to interact, in cyberspace.
[citation needed] The 'disembodiment' discourse focuses on allowing the mind to wander [3] without the physical inhibitions of the body.
[2] This 'border crossing' implies that the virtual body in itself is a fluid state of being that conceals itself within social conventions.
These websites offer a more direct way for people to exhibit how they want to be seen and understood, which in turn develops their virtual body representation.
This is unlike virtual bodies created for the sake of playing games online where exaggeration and the use of the imagination is encouraged.
