So like… I quit social media to see how it’s like on the other side. I touched some grass, sniffed a couple of dogs, became more mentally unstable… or stable. I’m not really sure. But hi! hello!
For the record, I love Cbum. This is not a dig at him, but he’s all over my feed and he makes me feel like I need to hit the gym more which may not always be a bad thing.
However, body image issues is a serious topic. Social media has become a ubiquitous part of modern life, with many people using it to connect with others, share experiences, and express themselves. However, there is growing concern that social media is having a negative impact on people’s body image.
One of the main ways that social media contributes to poor body image is through the constant exposure to idealised and often unrealistic representations of beauty. Social media platforms are filled with images of thin, toned, and seemingly flawless bodies that can create feelings of inadequacy and pressure to conform to those standards.
Additionally, social media can be a breeding ground for negative comments and bullying related to body size, shape, and appearance. These comments can further exacerbate feelings of self-consciousness and contribute to poor body image.
Furthermore, social media can create an environment in which people feel the need to constantly compare themselves to others, leading to feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem.
Overall, social media has the potential to contribute to poor body image through its emphasis on idealised representations of beauty, the prevalence of negative comments and bullying, and the tendency for users to constantly compare themselves to others.
