      ANNIHILATOR I don’t think it’s that people have forgotten how to cope with insecurities, i would say they never learned how in the first place. There’s now 2 generations that have become accustomed to instant gratification. I’m a bit older, and to be honest, the expectation to look perfect is even beginning to affect me as I begin to see early signs of aging. I’m in my 40’s but have good genetics as well as a history of taking really good care of my skin. I have also spent the last 10+ years of my life battling chronic illnesses and feel that I lost a huge portion of my youth, which creates added pressure to look even better and younger. I challenged myself yesterday morning by sending a selfie right after I had just woken up (no makeup or filters) to my long distance soulmate whom I’ve known for 22 years but haven’t seen in person for a really long time (its really complicated). However, I’m not sure I could have mustered up the courage if it were anyone else.

      @카르멘Carmen girl... I must tell you this
      Please DO NOT do more plastic surgery. It can be very dangerous and korea's beauty standards are way too high... And only values one kind of beauty.
      Everyone can be beautiful if they take good care of themselves... You don't need to change your face to be truly beautiful.
      The "beautiful" korean and western societies have created is around money making. They create your insecurities to then profit out of them... Think of it this way: When did you start disliking your facial features? Probably when someone told you they were ugly... It's all in the society. Not only monetarily but also in terms of power. Companies like that put their customers down if they don't get plastic surgery like "you need a nosejob to be pretty!" is what the ads tell us indirectly for example.
      Let's all try to achieve natural, true beauty :) don't let your unique features and health be lost. Love ya

      A Williams I think that there have also been procedures where men go to get surgery done on their pectorals to make them look larger/buffer, and end up with a botched surgery where unnaturally large breast implants have been used. I remember their was an actor that went through this and the doctor (who actually had lost his license) ended up going to jail. Also VenusAngelic, a culture CZcamsr, had a gastric bypass to alter her physique in which was also botched. Although it’s not plastic surgery I thinks it important to mention since the black market surgeon actually stole two of her organs.

Also as someone with thicker / fuller lips, most of the time the results don't look great to me, they look like ducks. I understand the argument is "As long as they are happy, that's all that matters", this just seems like such an unsettling future. It's teaching girls and boys that it's easier to just get surgery than to learn how to love yourself.

However, in 2016, I started dating someone, and I noticed my use of it started to change. It became about grabbing attention artistically or my physical appearance. I started looking at my body and face. Then I realized I was behaving like the individual I was dating. I even got the Facetune application to look more appealing and went to the gym daily loosing 40 pounds in 5 months. I started becoming discontent with myself, and depressed at times. I realized Instagram became an addiction that became more then what it was originally used for. I still like Instagram, but in moderation. Great relatable video.
