As opposed to my previous 3 profile pictures, I got a whopping 12 likes on this one (pictured above). Of the 12 people that liked it, 10 were people that liked at least one of my previous 3 profile pictures and are also good friends of mine, meaning that these people would've liked my picture regardless. 2 of them however have never liked a picture of mine before, and are not exactly close friends of mine.

This profile picture generated 3 comments, 1 of which (the middle one) was from a person that is also currently taking this class so we can disregard that comment. The top one is a good friend of mine and I know he's a jokester. However the for bottom one, it can be seen that it's a troll comment, however I find it a bit strange because I've maybe held a couple 2 - 3 minute conversions with him throughout high school so it's not like I'm 'buddy-buddy' with him.

I also got messages from two friends asking why I changed my profile picture to an egg. One of them called me a 'f00l' (not 'fool').

Thus, it was mainly my closer friends that responded while the majority of the other people did not.

Reflection:

In conclusion, I originally thought that I'd get less than 10 likes but I got 12 so I'd say this is a bit of a confirmation of my original thoughts. I did not really get any public reaction about how someone is confused by my profile picture (except for the middle, disregarded, comment), however I did get messages from two friends expressing their confusion, as well as one friend who asked me about it while we were playing Destiny: The Taken King DLC together on the PS4.

I learned that people who aren't as close to you on Facebook are probably less likely to interact with you on the social media platform if they are (likely going to be) confused by the content you produced. But there are some that may have the opposite reaction and interact with you precisely because you're doing something out of the ordinary for whatever personal reasons they have for doing so.
