> You can't tell who's looking at you or not, so that mean anyone could be looking at you, so you act like everyone is looking at you all the time, you feel the need to control your presentation more,

so you keep staring at your own image, which means everyone is staring at their own image, which means no one is looking at your image, which means you don’t need to care what you look like,

It's the Panopticon effect. It doesn't matter if there's somebody looking, what matters is that there may be, and you can't know.
