Why Social Media Makes You Feel “Ugly”

[khushi]

Stopped social media for a while. And my confidence definitely went up.

I don't know if others can relate to it but what makes me even more concious is when I see comments about highly attractive being rated as mid. Like I'll not forgot how people were calling were Margot Robbie as unattractive. If she's a 5 then I'm -1 😭😭

Yep. I feel like every single girl I see on Pinterest and YT and social media is sooo naturally pretty. I barely see black girls that look like me. I remember trying to learn makeup, looking for makeup tutorials and almost every tutorial was done by women that already looked like they were wearing makeup when they weren't :/ the same was true when I looked up 'how to be pretty naturally'. Those vids are already made by girls who are way above average

I experience the same with TV shows or movies where everyone is extremely stylish and trained

Love how on every single short the video gets cut off

[cseptember]

I know what is seen as attractive and Im clearly not that. Its not just social media

[terken]

I like the way I look. No work done. I enjoy my beauty even tho the attractiveness inflation is all time high

[Rabico-zzxm]

Now, with looksmaxxing, we have objective metrics for beauty

Actuality when I see all these actors and actresses and all the makeup and filtering that goes on I feel very confident because I look presentable without surgery and filters 😊 thank you social media ❤

I'm not really affected by that because i'm well aware that the person I'm seeing on the app is a celebrity and i'm not. If their looks were not "superior" to mine in some ways it wouldn't even make any sense 😂.
I try to look nice and interesting for my liking though, it does inspire my looks indirectly.

Personally, social media never affected my self-perception too much, as i could always tell myself, the platforms are made to select for the very top of attractivness. But ever since i started using dating/hook up apps and paying attention to guys around me, i've realized that i actually am significantly below average.

[bruh-qiue]

Well I think it's a future proof way of rating yourself. Attractive people will mate more which will create more and more attractive people. Which will then lead to your attractiveness decreasing by the newer high amount of attractive people... I guess idk

[Murata]

Can't relate, not insecure enough to compare myself with random people on online 😹😹

[crashbash]

Aren't you as a channel directly contributing to this problem?

[ChiagozieOkwor-wcqi]

I’ve never had social media but I believe that the looksmaxxing channels on YouTube are very bad for our self esteem.

[JamzYamz]

I block or press uninterested in videos of really pretty women. Helps my
Mental health
