Personally I love books that put the footnotes at the bottom of the page instead of at the end of the book so that I don’t have to keep flipping back and forth like an absolute barbarian
not to #resist fun but an app like snapchat which digitally “enhances” the photos you take of yourself inevitably leads to greater dissatisfaction w your actual face in the same way that photoshopped images in media increase body dissatisfaction, but actually worse than that bc it’s an unrealistically enhanced version of you and therefore harder to dismiss or ignore
A lot of plastic surgeons are saying that more and more people are walking in with Snapchat filter photos of themselves as reference to how they want to look. We really need to be aware of how much harm these filters do to our self image.
thank you for this post. i can’t believe a lot of people think this way which made me feel so much better
just the other day I was looking at myself on a snap filter and I thought “wow I look pretty” then I removed it and thought “huh what changed?” so I checked back and forth and realized snap filters contour my face to be smaller which honestly made me want to RF my face (for it to be smaller)
so upon reading this and knowing tons of people have experienced what I went through- made me feel that I’m not alone and that what I see is an unrealistic version of me, therefore I shouldn’t feel bad that I don’t look like “it”
