40 Times People Noticed These Instagrammers Who Heavily Photo-Edit Their Pictures And Exposed Them Online (New Pics)
The fact that people share an idealized version of themselves on social media, cherry-picking only the best images, thoughts, and experiences isn't new. But the lengths they go to marketing themselves keep surprising even the ones who think they've seen it all.
I'm talking about r/Instagramreality. It's a subreddit whose members strip down the glamor of make-up, flattering poses, and all kinds of photo editing, and expose the truth behind the facade. It's been around since 2017, and we've written about it numerous times (here, here, and here), but even these folks still get baffled at how absurd some of these manipulations are. Here are a few reasons why.

Yikes. Filler is expensive. Always amazes me how much vain people will pay to turn themselves into literal caricatures of themselves.

It's really sad that so many people have body image issues that make them think they have to hide their perfectly normal, healthy bodies to look like action figures or Barbie dolls.

More like Bratz dolls. It's good to see how fake social media is. It's just gotten way out of hand and is so damaging.

This breaks my heart and reminds me of a stupid thing I did when I was 19. I was always self conscious about my thick thighs and my idiot past self got lost inside her head and decided to starve herself literally. I only drank water for 3 days and didn't eat anything at all. People comment that they do this but they never say anything about feeling sick, "having a black hole" inside or being in pain, I somehow managed to drag myself to the bus station for uni and on the 4th day I ended up passing out half way When I screwed my head back on my shoulders I looked at myself and thought there is nothing wrong with me. I always look back at that moment with a hint of shame... people don't have money to eat and here I was doing this to myself You should love yourself f*$k social media

I did this for years. I ate one thing every 4 days. I would chew food up and spit it out before I could swallow it. It was a mess. Still 10 yrs later I feel guilty when I eat. Therapy helps but it doesn't get rid of that internalized fatphobia completely
