Before we upload a photo of ourselves to social media, we'll use an app to make our skin and faces look better. With a couple of taps on our mobile phone, we're able to present the "best" version of ourselves to the world. However, the problem is, when we simply make ourselves look perfect, we also change the way we look at ourselves.
What bad influence do photo editing apps have on us? Last month, researchers from the US Boston University School of Medicine published the article "Selfies—Living in the Era of Filtered Photographs". The article studied photo editing apps' bad influence on people's self-worth and their possibility to cause appearance anxieties (焦虑). The researchers also warned that such apps are blurring the lines between reality and imagination. "These apps allow one to change his or her appearance in minutes and follow an unrealistic standard of beauty," the article reads.
Why do many young people suffer an identity crisis (身份危机) when it comes to how they look? In the past, people often compared their looks to those of famous people. But for today's young people, beauty standards are most likely set by what they see on social media. "Today, people's feelings of self-worth are mainly based upon the number of their followers on social media and how good they look," British cosmetic doctor Tijion Esho told The Independent. While comparing the real self and the fake self, people may become "beauty sick" and find it difficult to accept what they actually look like. "Because between you and the world is a mirror and it's a mirror that travels with you everywhere. You can't seem to put it down," he said.
How should we solve image problems? When we look in a real mirror, we shouldn't think to ourselves, "Do I look as good as myself in the filtered photos?" Instead, we should think, "I feel good because I have my health." Secondly, being confident is very important, too. Thirdly, what matters is only the ideas from those you care about.
