How to use "Mis-represent" in context?
When we think of misrepresentation, we might picture someone wearing a false mustache in a photo while pretending to be someone they're not. But misrepresentation can also happen when we don't even have to have our true identity revealed to be falsely representing ourselves.
Sometimes, we misrepresent ourselves when we speak without thinking about the consequences of our words. We might say something that we would never actually do in real life, just because we think it's funny or clever. Or we might say something negative about ourselves or someone else without intending to hurt their feelings, just because it sounds good in the moment.
