Perfect people. Wearing perfect clothes. Having the time of their lives on perfect holidays. That’s mostly what you see when you scroll through Instagram. Especially if you follow any major Instagram influencers. However, we forget that these stunning pictures are usually staged and don’t reflect reality.

Amsterdam-based social media influencer and vlogger Rianne Meijer decided to have some fun with this concept and uploaded a series of photos showing side-by-side comparisons of ‘perfect’ Instagram shots coupled with what reality is like. And they are hi-la-ri-ous.

“When I make Instagram photos I always take between 200 and 400 pictures. Which is insane and I wouldn't use 90% of them,” Rianne told Bored Panda. “It always amazes me to see how different I looked in every picture. So at one point I was laying in bed and I figured, why not post the pictures next to each other in an expectations vs. reality post.” Scroll down for the rest of our interview with Rianne.

We bring you some of Rianne’s funniest comparison photos. So scroll down, upvote your fave pics and let us know in the comments what you think of Rianne’s project. Remember to share this list with anyone who might be just a tad too serious about their social media profile. And be sure to check out our previous article about Rianne’s Instagram vs. reality pics right here.

    This schtick is old now. I'm even less interested in the photos showing yourself off as oh-so-relatable than the oh-so-perfect ones.

    I have to disagree with you here. From a woman that has this exact hairstyle. The volumes off, tge length is off, and unless you reblowdry your hair, you can't go from thst one style to the other. Even untucked from her ear, it would never look like that

    I can tell, and I'm pretty sure others can too, that she's doing a double chin on purpose

    Here I see no issues with either snap. One is more posed. Is that all?

    I'm confused now. The photographer, not the man, completely botched the picture.
