      I'm struggling with that too, but from what I can see..I think your beautiful..and that's how I honestly think of you..with or without make up..but I understand exactly how you feel..you're definitely not alone..like I said..I'm struggling with my insecurities too..so afraid to go outside because I feel ugly on the outside..even with make up on..I then feel insecure about my weight..it doesn't help that I feel as though, I probably won't find love because of how I think I look😮‍💨 I usally try to fight it..telling myself that I'm beautiful..but other times I'm discouraged again..

    • @kelddsrx

      I always remind myself that life is short and that it's important to focus on friends, family, experiences.. all our bodies change eventually and we only have this one body that keeps us alive and gives us this one chance called life. Focus on why people love and wanna be with you.. probably not because of your looks but because of so many other things. These thoughts help but I always end up basing my self worth on my looks and then feeling really bad on those days I don't look that great.

      I've been struggling with that for 10 years.
      Wanting to hide forever , crying when I see a photo of me, wanting plastic surgery from the age of 12.
      When I explain this to my relatives they laugh and tell me it's not a real problem.
      To be honest, I know it probably won't change so I'm trying to find other things that make me a valuable person, and find happiness in my passions .
      Trying not to look in the mirror and ignore my disgusting reflexion ...
      But I'm alive 'cause I'm more than my body.

I thought my skin looked very smooth but I checked "beautify" and it was set to zero, I finally found the other filter a week later and it's creepy how much it changed my perspective of my face even though I didn't want to edit it to begin with

    As a half European half East Asian I was always praised everywhere by parents for my "long legs" and how (unhealthily) thin I was, I've moved now. I was happy with it as a kid but now its just painful to hear "I wish I could look like you" and even parents using me as an example for their kids, when I was literally going to a doctor for being too thin! I'm older now, gained a normal amount of weight, still admitedly affected by their standards, istg I'm eating 2 small meals a day and exercising daily idk why I just want to look thin again

    Every now and then I find myself thinking "I'm glad I grew up without that!" or "I'm glad that wasn't around when I was a kid"...but stuff like this is so much worse because it effects and affects EVERYONE, regardless of age (or sex or race or any other factor). You can't ignore it, you can't be too old for it. It is there, it is unavoidable, and it is only getting worse. I took a selfie with my friends 8-month-old baby and it smoothed her face! My phone actually had the nerve to "improve" the skin of a baby! It was a built-in setting I didn't even know about!

    I’ve come back to China recently to visit family and this has shocked me so much. The use of beauty filters is so normalised now it’s actually crazy. Parents even use face tuning apps on their very young children, exposing them to these toxic beauty standards and showing them a “better” version of themselves at such a young age. When I took photos with family, I couldn’t even recognise my face in the camera, and they refused to take photos without the face tune, saying it was a NECESSITY. Girls in china wear such extreme makeup that only really looks good on camera with extreme nose and face contour, foundation ten shades lighter than their actual skin tones and eye makeup they enlarges their eyes to the point of creepiness. Everyone has the same face, and it made me feel disconnected and insecure. This is a real issue but none of the people here seem to realise it.

    I worry for the younger generation coming up in the world behind mine (I'm 30, for a reference point). Even though I don't always love my looks, I at least can appreciate that these things aren't attainable normally or even healthy in a lot of cases, but the younger group...they're just bombarded with this stuff constantly. I worry for them, and I hope we can help them navigate it as healthily as possible. Your body is your body. Does it have curves, some wrinkles, some cellulite? Excellent, you are certified as a human, congratulations! I hope we can help both my generation and the younger ones behind mine to understand that as long as you're human, you're beautiful as you are, there will always be someone who will find you desirable, and, most importantly, that being desirable is not solely based on your looks at all. It sounds cliche but it's a cliche for a reason: beauty doesn't stop at the surface, and self love isn't about what you look like.

    I love ur content... i actually went thru this years ago with just makeup. i started to HATE the "raw" me without makeup so much that i would often feel depressed after taking my makeup off at the end of the day........ i would even cry sometimes. after awhile, i decided to lay off the makeup for awhile (which i didn't even really enjoy that much in the first place), so that i could re-learn to love my actual face again.... i think makeup is AMAZING when it's fun and you still like urself. but that wasn't what i had been using it for. and that made me really sad. i want to love ME. even if the rest of the world doesn't think i'm pretty. cuz ur ABSOLUTELY right when you say that none of this shit matters😆. but, in the best way. nowadays, i use mostly a tinted moisturizer, mascara and a little highlighter and if i'm feelin froggy, some eyeshadow. lol. and i don't hate my own face anymore. so i call that a win. but that's just me. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for making this video. THIS is the kinda stuff i wish we would talk about way more. Sending 💖

    I deal with real life body dysmorphia. The only time I ever use a filter tool is when I want to look less sleepy in a photo 😅 I do not alter my face, my skin, or my body. Living in the real world as a Black Filipina who is tall and curvy is complex enough! I’ve seen these video and makeup filters, and they really trip me out. I stay away from that kind of content whenever I see it pop up when I’m looking to try different makeup looks or hairstyles. I try to find creators who don’t rely heavily on filters to create, because that’s how I’m tryna be out here, online and off! I found this video extremely validating.

    Honestly its not just social media but society in general that influence your insecurities
    your average/healthy bmi for an Indian ranges from 18.5-22.9
    I am already an underweight right now,my friend same height weighs around 43 kg and she's proud of that (she's heavily influenced by east asian beauty standards ,I was too but then I realized I am beautiful they way I am and that instead of getting influenced by ppl who I have 0 matching traits with except same human genes I should focus more on the ppl around me who compliment my natural beauty. I am a lot happier now but yeah I will exercise a bit to lose all this belly fat😂)

      Hi! Do not by any means listen to your mother - you're coming of age and you'll slowly realize that you don't really need to act on other people's opinion of your life and health because you're the only one inhabiting your body, and you will hopefully do that for very very long.
      Gaining fat naturally in your thighs is great, health-wise, it means your fat is getting stored in a rather ideal and typical place for a woman.
      Fat in women plays a pretty important role in our metabolism and hormonal regulation. I'm talking energy, stress, hunger, and obviously female hormones. Google it if you want to know more!
      Your mom's generation listened to a lot of fat-shaming propaganda that science has since debunked! There was an agenda behind that, to sell certain kinds of foods... I'm frankly sorry for her.
      Of course excess fat can be an issue, but you're literally underweight, that has nothing to do with you.
      Take care and think of these things for the long run! You're seriously not looking at the final you when you're a teenager.

    omg, this is scary! We all know that what you see in magazines and on tv are not real, we know there's photoshop and editing but the whole body/face tuning that East Asia has is on another level! There were SO many times where I'd see a picture of the "doujin" makeup on pinterest and tried to do that make up on myself only to fail, thinking I'm just not good at putting on makeup but now I'm pretty sure it's just a filter! I mean there are people who are really good at makeup (I think, not really sure anymore lol). Anyway thank you SO much for shining the light on this! I can give up on trying to apply the filter with irl makeup!

    This video also points out that not everything you see on social media has to be real, i remember going through the "Douyin" side of Pinterest and I saw a bunch of images of beautiful Chinese girls, so beautiful that it almost looked like AI. It made 14 year old me feel so insecure. I had no idea that those pictures were heavily edited, I became so insecure to a point where i would cover mirrors just so i wouldn't have to look at myself and feel disappointed, the idea of taking pictures also seemed like a nightmare to me. The chase for beauty is really toxic in today's world, especially in Asia.

    -plump rosy lips
    -THIGH GAPS IS NEEDED

I only realised because I had a photo of me on the wall with completely clear skin when I knew I was having a huge breakout at the time. They did not ask if photoshopping was okay. I mean what teenager does not have spots at some time.

    its a big reason im not on many social media. i have never had big issue with my appearance, but everything has this natural filter. even what should be a colour filter, squishes my chin and nose down. it makes me feel uncomfortable. because its like, this is how its preffered. even if i like myself, i find myself to play into it, because, i do find i like myself like that more. but its dangerous, because its not real. so i look in the mirror with a new knowledge, if i could just shave some of these things down, if i could be LESS, i would be worth MORE.
    which is not true. i love the human form, and its sad we all feel this pressure.

    For people with Xiaomi phones: I discovered a couple months back that with the update came these beauty filters, I turned them all to the max to make funny pictures to laugh with my cousins but they really make you look like Chinese Models x Slenderman.
    Btw, if your photos look too smoth lately, the auto-smooth is turned on automatically, you have to go to settings to turn it off manually, this is on top of the "beautify" filter straight from the phone camera

There are many aspects of my appearance that I’m really happy with, but it’s those few big issues I have that keep me from being 100% content with myself. I do also try to be as kind and “beautiful” on the inside as I can, but of course that is its own thing and even though it’s even more important, and I totally get what you are saying, it’s ultimately unrelated to physical appearance. Idk. Maybe I’m naive to a bigger truth that will set me free one day but I doubt it so long as I have to keep living in a society 🥴

    As long as you use this kind of filters and cameras, you'll want to don't show off yourself , don't want to live in a real life and judge yourself for not being beautiful so it leads to stress and other health issues. That's why I think being thankful for who and how you are is the best way to LIVE IN THE REAL LIFE because in this way, you don't judge yourself and spend more time with your family, friends, favorite activities,sport s and so on.

    What did it lead to - then I got so used to all these digital masks (especially on Instagram) that I couldn't perceive my face without them. Therefore, now, for three years now, I have been trying to reduce any filters on my phone (unless it's color saturation) in order to learn to love my face the way it is. So yes, this culture really scares me
