This Online Community Is Dedicated To Calling Out Instagrammers Who Edit Their Photos Way Too Much (50 New Pics)
A quick scroll through social media and you might begin to think that you’re not good enough. There, people look so happy, so beautiful, it’s as if the whole world is theirs.

Its 1.2 million members regularly share images that expose the fake people online, highlighting just how ridiculous their photo editing has become. There’s always more than meets the eye.

She Looks Better Without Editing The Photos
Jeremy Tyler, PsyD, an assistant professor of clinical Psychiatry at the Center for the Treatment and Study of Anxiety, speaks with patients about perfectionism and often addresses social media as a stressor.
“A big trigger for perfectionism is social media and that fear of missing out,” he said. “It can be challenging to take a step back and recognize that what is being posted isn’t reality.”

“Many assume that people with those perfect photos don’t have problems, but they do. It’s important to remember that the people behind the lens are just as stressed and nervous as everyone else,” Tyler added.
“Everybody suffers at some point or feels less than perfect. Social media expression is inherently biased because very few people aim to post about their flaws.”
