As a teenager I was always quite thin. I had it in my mind that I needed to get big and muscular because that's all I was seeing on social media at the time. It turns out I had a bowel disease so gaining weight just wasn't going to happen. Since then I've dropped social media and I've accepted how I look because no matter what you'll always end up seeing exaggerated ideals while online. We're all unique and that's what makes us awesome in our own way. Flaws and all.

I am quite thin as well, and I can't gain weight either. I eat all I can but the max I've eaten after days of eating was around 2 pounds (not that I care that much, just as long as it doesn't harm my health, I'm very confident in my body). Personally, I like my body, and I like my boyfriend's body as well, so I'm positive I don't really have my perception of beauty warped, but the main focus I wanna make here is that I find it odd that I "suffer" from something similar to what you described here (don't get me wrong, I like being slim, but I would like a bit more weight)

She demanded I retake the picture with her in posture, duckface and different lighting, just for her to put some filters on top of it in the end. It was really sad to witnesa.

Well said. Social media has a tendency to influence our decisions whether we know it or not. Thank you for your insight!

I grew up raised by my grandparents who were overweight due to depression and traumas (Vietnam). I never once thought they were “ugly”, but my grandma had always seen her appearance in a negative light - even when she was young and thin and bullied for having “chicken legs”. It breaks my heart.

I can’t take a selfie without a filter.. it’s so damaging that’s for sure but then I also have times when I feel so beautiful and happy with my natural beauty even with my perceived flaws.. it’s worse when you can’t afford certain beauty procedures.. it really takes a toll on your self esteem and confidence

Embracing your natural appearance on social media is a wonderful step towards authenticity and self-acceptance. By sharing photos of your makeup-free, unfiltered face, you're promoting a positive message about embracing one's true self. It's important to recognize that various cameras and lighting conditions can indeed affect how we appear in photos, which doesn't define our real-life beauty. Your willingness to showcase the real you encourages others to feel comfortable in their own skin and challenges the unrealistic standards often perpetuated by filters and AI tools. Remember, everyone is unique and deserving of kindness, so refraining from commenting on others' appearances is a respectful way to promote positivity and acceptance in the online world.

Thank you for mentioning Christina!!! She’s always been criticized, she has always been skinny because that’s her body type and tried to gain weight, but then it was too much, then she lost it. Then she gained it because of a very hard period in her life and the body shaming she received at the time was huge. She managed to lose weight some years later but gained it again with her second pregnancy. Sadly she couldn’t lose it again, and preferred plastic surgery which I’m totally against 😔

I think a lot of people refuse to acknowledge that it's usually not the body shape that most people find unattractive in heavy people. Usually when people are fat-shaming, they're ridiculing the attributes that come with being fat... like laziness, poor hygiene, lack of self-awareness, lack of self control, having self-entitlement, being selfish or greedy, or gluttonous. Not saying everyone is like this, but most people will never find heavy people attractive unless they can prove they're none of these things, and that they're truly beautiful on the inside.

I’ve always believed in natural beauty, and I still do. But something that has affected me over the past year or two has been seeing so many males being attracted to fictional female characters who are tall with big curves and personalities so opposite to mine (they are mature and flirty while I’m shy and insecure). It makes me wonder if a female like me who is neither curvy, tall, nor has the mature/flirty personality can be truly loved in today’s day and age.

Interested. Maybe because I’m old, or just different, but physical looks have rarely made someone attractive to me. One of the reasons Jane Austen novels are still popular even today is because the heroine in a lot of her stories aren’t the prettiest, but they get the man because of their inner beauty. Yet, they aren’t considered romance novels, just novels.

Im glad I don't have anything to do with most forms of media... No tik tok, insta, twitter, and I sure as hell don't watch garbage reality tv, or shows/movies in general. It's honestly so much nicer this way, I'd recommend it to anyone looking to get away from all of the bs

If you want to lose weight, do it for your health. You will be so surprised that despite social media does all this, in the end, no one gives a f***. Once I went out not dressed properly, with hair tangles and I tied them. I went to call someone hi, and they just rejected me. Idk if it was intentional or if she didn't hear, but then the next day I went and completely dressed went with all tangles detangled, painful dayx nearly plaited and I went, she was like, hi how are you? I think it's because of the proximity probably. But, when I came out I did feel happy but, I felt so discouraged, Why do I need to change it for someone else? Even if she did care, it doesn't feel genuine, and it doesn't feel like she would give an f about it. Nobody does. Even if you did lose weight the hype is not gonna last for long and that validation doesn't feel valid enough for you to feel valid.Although I admit that I might be toxic here. But, the thing is we get so much caught up with this entire hype of being accepted somewhere that we never see how much we are giving in to be "accepted" our lives are more worth it than any other hype. I am not saying that losing weight is a bad thing, when it's a health concern. But sometimes everyone forget how people actually look like. One time, there were clubs for fat men because they thought they had more money.

Currently I’m a bulky slim teenage guy that’s pretty big and tall but as a kid I was pretty small and scrawny. I’m working to lose weight but not let the ideal of being muscular or thin is attractive, I’m attractive in my own body and can still work on it!

I'm kinda insecure of my looks bc I want to become best version of myself when I met someone I want to spend my life with,Idk if it's a good thing but,it kinda tormented me bc I knew that I was never near on my goal.

Whenever I go shopping and have to pass by that big magazine stand at the checkout line, showing off covers of unrealistically skinny and perfect looking bikini and underwear models in sexual poses, I cover them up by placing magazines of puppies, food, art and gardening on top of them. The girls behind the checkout counters never complain.

I always know that I'm not a pretty girl. There was a time that I didn't want to look at the mirrors because I hated my face and I even thought that I wouldn't be able to find a lover. But I'm learning to except myself. Anyway, if I don't love myself, who will do it for me?

In my community, I was a local title holder for guys who liked bigger guys, and I was, dare I say, popular in an... Adult kinda way. In 2019 and still to this day, I am constantly told, reminded and often time flat out blocked online for being excessively overweight. It got so bad in 2019 I deleted my hookup apps due to the amount of people who would tell me I should kill myself for having the audacity to flirt with them while being "morbidly obese". I'm 5'7", and weighed under 200lbs.

People worry how they will attract someone with their looks even tho attracting them with your personality is way better. The second someone is gets attracted to you every single feature of you will look perfect to them.

We want acceptance from others, So the way others see us became our standard. If you're not good at smth, just accept it, and ask for help from others. but do not think too much of how people would think of me. I stopped using social media not very long, and it might not have a great impact but i feel more at ease. Stop living upto other's standard and try to accept yourself. Live upto your standards. being on social media isn't a bad thing until you know what you're doing, it's okay to waste sm time but be aware of what you really need. Thankyou so much psych2go for such an amazing video, hope you’ll get aware of these things and feel at ease ^_^

Interesting video

In the modern age of social media, the phenomenon of altering one's appearance through filters and AI tools draws parallels with Oscar Wilde's novel "The Picture of Dorian Gray." Just as Dorian Gray becomes obsessed with maintaining his youthful appearance, individuals today can easily modify their images online, projecting an idealized version of themselves. The contrast between Dorian's portrait and his real self mirrors the disparity between digitally altered online personas and genuine human characteristics. The novel's exploration of the consequences of a double life and the allure of an eternal façade resonates with today's discussions about authenticity, self-image, and the impact of technology on our perception of beauty and identity.

When it comes to attractiveness with me is personality first and foremost mostly I just ignore “pretty” people bc if they just ride on their looks it’s not gonna last forever and when they old they’ll be wrinkly and have no real personality but that’s just my two cents on this

I find authenticity and social media together as a practice in dishonesty.

It’s mainly people irl it’s like I was raised to self criticize even if someone says the most positive thing about me I cringe so much it makes me wanna cry. It’s like me telling you “you didn’t deserve to go through that” but all you’re doing is giving me positive feedback that I can’t take because I was never told those things 😭💔 the only thing social media encouraged me to do was wear makeup but I stopped that long before I even started

We still must admit that not all “body types” are healthy for both people and society sometimes. I feel that it is good that some people find unhealthy body types as unattractive as well, because, well, beauty isn’t always subjective.

I myself as a lone wolf, I stay away from the drama and the bs. You don't play the game, then you'll be okay. Focus on your goals, ambition, career. Work on yourself body and soul. Never be afraid of being alone because loneliness will make you stronger. It may not apply to some, but believe me my teenage self would've listen to myself telling myself to be genuine and authentic. And never worry what society expects of doing as a sheep

Good video

For me, I'm attracted to people emotionally more than physical appearance.

I’ve actually been basically fat shamed by my own mother. Talking about how i used to look good in track. Well that’s because i was a sprinter and ran six days a week. I’m quite fluffy now because i get to enjoy food. I’m very sensitive when it comes to food. Was once even told a soda and sandwich should be enough for lunch. I even said “it’s a freaking banana!” Fiancé made a mistake once about me getting another snack after sharing some popcorn. Soon as he said the comment, he knew it was wrong and apologized.

Its what it is

True 💯

As a teenager, I used to think that I was unreasonably fat when I was actually skinny. to the point where I starved myself. I did this for two reasons 1) I was unhappy with my body and how it looks and 2) I envied Angelina Jolie and I wanted to look like her because she had the perfect figure. But that's in the past and I'm over it now. Just goes to show how truly Damaging social media is.

I feel like social media has made peoples standards skyrocket for others and themselves

Please consider *not* talking about newborn foot-cuffs of creativity like „colorism“ When talking about self worth because hypersensitivity on these topics really doesn‘t seem to be the solution in our opinion (member of the darker black community) other than that, amazing videos (been around since 50k)

Don't do this to yourself, you're still growing. Eat normal portions and be patient. You'll turn out just fine. And when you've stopped growing, which is around the age of 22, then you can have a look if you like what you see. If you're really overweight, you can do a good diet. However, discuss this with your doctor. In the mean time, make sure you grow up in a healthy way, you only get one chance to do so. Good luck and take care!

Its right, me too i saw many attractive in video that make me want attractive like them.

For some reason, i can never gain weight no matter how hard i try, ive only been able to get around 2 lbs. Now dont get me wrong, i dont mind being slim, but im 139 lbs at 6'2, so most of my weight and muscles are in my legs and lower body, so i wouldnt mind a bit more weight, but i dont mind. Im glad to know that social media hasnt warped my view of beauty, as im with a bf who isnt the most beautiful to the average person, but is like the holy grail to me. Just remember people, a lot of influences online with certain body types are unrealistic, you never know who youll find who isnt just muscular or the angel to your eyes, sometimes the best person to find and be with is your Average Joe and Average Jane

Amazing video sometimes I feel like that even tho I'm 13 even tho I shouldn't do that a lot😶😓

Bruh I just want to cuddle and then suddenly. You want to cuddle a specific type of person.

I try to talk to my step daughter about filters on social media, she loves using the things for everything. I told her to not get lost in them so she doesn't see herself as ugly.

Honestly, I walk and notice a lot of attractive people. I don’t really let anything shape my thoughts. ( that goes to show I have trust issues, but at the very least, I have standards )

Even with knowing its unhealthy to compare yourself to these ideal standards, I cant stop. I know if I looked like a built machine, my body would be healthier and more women would notice me.

Man this made me moshnor

And this is why my only social media is KZread, and it's usually full of music and the Sims 4. Take a break from your social medias, guys

If popular media ever affected my beauty standards, it was as much as two generations ago: I was a child of the 80s, and even then, I disagreed with a few things. If anything ruins beauty for me now, it's that I don't agree with a lot of the changes, or even the solutions to those changes. But I definitely understand, all too well, the pressure to achieve a kind of "Buffness" that may not relate to health. I stay pretty active, and you might be a little surprised at how much a skinny guy like me can lift at the gym (where I go twice a week). But neithe dead-lifting 200 pouns nor all the kettlebell tricks in the world has ever given ME a six-pack, either, and at 48, I find that my slight paunch is very hard to get rid of. And it bothers me, a lot.

1:33 most people who are not into working out almost every day really dont know that there are two types of abs,let me explain. The two types of abs are usable abs and visible abs.

But,yea they have a visbile 6 pack,but most of the time,they dont have endurance in their abs. And usable abs are the kind of abs that would help you do even the things you thought where impossible (ex: bar tricks done by a gymnast) . All i can is,you can have one of them,or if your genetics are 1/1000,both. So dont think that because you dont see your abs,you dont have abs.

My question is these filters are so good that how can you tell if a girl you think is beautiful is using a filter or if she’s really that attractive in real life? There are many girls on Instagram that are naturally beautiful, even if they may use a filter. So, just the fact that we can view all these people plays with your mind. Years ago, when the internet didn’t exist, we didn’t have so many to compare to.

Me, completely aromantic: hmmm… interesting

Well, first of only following people celebrating authenticity is a sure road to self-isolate, so let's settle for a mostly. I think the term of defining something as beauty, will always lead to something being ugly, no matter have low the standards become. Which is why I will rather look at looks as a wardrobe, with so much amazing cloths for every season in life, that you have something new to try constantly. The guy you thought look like a million bucks, turns out to be shallow and borderline narcissistic, well no surprise try something new.

I don't have perfect skin but i do want healthy skin. I am very young back and i was so aware about making sure my body is clean and healthy or i will have a bacteria that eat out my skin. I don't have a perfect skin like on social media but i do have fear of nasty bacteria on my skin. I was so obsessed with this since i was a teen back in 2009 and now I'm thankful to continue to be clean. I really don't care about body social media rat race because hey i have been picked on enough that my mind, just like gumball, just don't care. 😅😂

I don't experience attraction to anyone - I am asexual. I find it makes it hard as the initial connection is never there. I have never had a close relationship with anyone.

Not only social media, but people around us can impact our body image. I want to lose weight, because I was told I have a big belly, butt, thick thighs and calf, and once again I started to hate the way I look.

It can. It can. Even so, everybody is still attracted to different things.

Sometimes i want to be a few inches taller because I am very small for my age and it makes me look younger then I am but then I think of the the things tall people cant do that i can like fitting into small spaces.

Don't lose hope. There are those of us out there who like all kinds of body types (or who don't care bout looks at all).

I cannot relate to any of this. It's like people using snap chat are not even human anymore.

Not gonna lie I think a ginormous part of this is that phone cameras could not photograph you any worse than they already do. When I look in the mirror, I can look gorgeous that day, and if I try to take a picture with my phone in the exact same spot without even moving a muscle, I will look like a literal fucking goblin. It takes 100 tries to get one where you look like YOU do in the mirror. I take casual pictures with the Snapchat filters instead, because that looks more like what I see in the mirror, and what other people see, I’m not gonna post a picture where I look like a fucking goblin when I don’t look like that in real life. They need to do something about how phone cameras accentuate every little imperfection and warp your proportions. Snapchat filters might overcompensate on beautifying you, but people look more like the irl versions of themselves when using them, without it the phone camera takes them from a 10/10 to a 2/10
