I'm not sure I agree with this analysis.

I don't have a lack of self confidence and I consider the vast majority of Facebook posts to be fronting, even if the person actually posting is not actively aware of the fact that they are fronting. A lot of the time the awareness of "fronting" is absent, when it is in fact the main purpose driving the person to upload. Why else would people post very personal things about their lives to an audience they don't even want to reach out to on a regular basis? Even when they are in the same city, etc? Because those are not friends, and if they are not friends, the uploader is an actor presenting their daily demo real.

Of course there are exceptions to this, but I don't think that saying that a vast majority of people on Facebook are fronting is a reflection on our own personal lack of confidence, as much as it is barely a generalization.
