The culture of photoshop has gone too far. Deep-rooted insecurities have caused many people to hate themselves, their body, weight, height etc. It is a very sensitive topic for many people struggling to get over their insecurities. It is mentally disturbing and exhausting. I understand where they are coming from, their motive to change themselves

We've been fed perfection for so long.

You can always take the perfect photo, when you edit it before sharing it.

For many, Instagram is the highlight reel of their lives. They show off their exotic trips, fancy meals, strike a sexy pose in front of expensive toys, and it's totally their choice. However, if you drown yourself in the sea of winning shots, you might end up with the impression that all of their days look like that. And feel like a loser when comparing yourself to those unachievable standards.
