Most of us are probably guilty of polishing our social media accounts. But some don't stop there. They go above and beyond in Photoshop, inventing a totally new version of themselves. However, they aren't fooling everyone—the subreddit r/Instagramreality is dedicated to exposing these fakes, and allow us to see their true colors. With nearly 950K members, the community constantly posts new findings that simply look too bad to be true. If you're done scrolling and wish to check out more similar pics, fire up our earlier Instagram vs. Reality posts here and here.

Honestly, posts like this really make me more sad than anything else. There's something really broken in our society when so many people are so insecure with how they look. I can't imagine feeling like I need to cover my face with pigmented fat just to go out in the world and be acceptable to myself.

While many of these are funny or just ridiculous, it makes me wonder how many of these people suffer from Body Dysmorphia.
Body dysmorphia is a real thing, a very serious thing, but it is too often used as a cynical way to underestimate the pain of living which ugly people feel because of the way society treats them and forces them into perpetual shame and loneliness.
Load More Replies...I've always wondered why people want to look plastic. I mean, at some point they'll be exposed, or will meet someone who has seen the photos and who will be like, 'owait, that's not really how you look.' Then I realised that some of these fakers have made a lot of money from looking plastic. So there are people out there who enjoy looking at heavily edited photos. Makes me wonder which lot - the posers or the viewers - are the saddest.
"B" I agree with you. I wounder how in the world some of these pictures can be perceived by their creators as faltering. The extent of the distortion is beyond tangible comprehension. It leaves me gobsmacked!
Load More Replies...Just about all of them would look great without all the editing. It’s scary and sad that they feel the need to do this.
At the very least, I don’t think any of them could look WORSE than the edited version.
