Beauty & social media

Beauty & social Media: Social media has raised the bar of what people consider as a good
looking person. Social media is full of pictures of people at their best, when they feel the most
attractive. Nearly nobody is posting pictures of themselves when they are a bit depressed or
when they look tired. This causes people to think that everyone is as good looking as shown on
their pictures and they start aiming to become like them. When those persons finally figure out
how to make themselves look good on pictures they will start posting them too on social media.
Witch is on the one hand positive but there is one giant downside to all of this.

social Media & self-esteem: A big issue with social media is that it affects some vulnerable
people their self-esteem. They might already be not really comfortable in their own skin or have
a low self esteem.When those people are on social networks they might start thinking they are
ugly will decrease their self-esteem even more which is very bad for their mental health. It
doesn’t help that many companies advertise on social media with advertisements full of
attractive persons which will make them look even more ugly in comparison wich will result in
an even lower self-esteem.

Research: There have been done in numerous researches about the effects of social media on
mental health in one study they found a link between social Media and a poor self-esteem, self-
image. They claim that this is because they are constantly exposed to unrealistic images of
persons and when they don’t meet the standard that those pictures set their self-esteem lowers
which naturally is bad .this study also shows the that social media gives users increased anxiety

Conclusion: Social media is a great tool to keep in touch with everyone but it has its flaws. A
world without social media wouldn’t necessarily be better, The flaws that I have pointed out
could be resolved if everyone had a better attitude about social media and looks at it from a
different way instead of looking at it as if it is the reality we should just look at it as a
representation of the best u human can look
