A part of the 18.1% of plastic surgeries being patients aged 13-19 is removing skin lesions and other stuff that either goes wrong during puberty, or was postponed to later teens because there was a chance it would fix itself or it becomes safer to fix once the facial shape changes of puberty are over.

Just a heads-up about taking your own picture with a camera: What we see in the mirror is merely our reflection. But no matter how symmetrical we might think our faces are, we don't actually look like our reflection. Not only that, but mirrors only allow us to see ourselves from a fixed angle. Turning your head around doesn't really change that - the focus is still placed towards your eyes. However, other people can see what we ACTUALLY look like, from all sorts of angles. Because we are only used to our reflection, whenever we see a photo of us, or see ourselves moving in a video, we always tend to get this feeling that we look weird somehow. However, to other people looking at the same photo or video of ourselves, we'll come across as normal. This is why it's always best to ask someone else to judge if you look bad in a photo, and why you'll sometimes come across situations where everyone will say they love this particular photo of you, even though you think you look HIDEOUS in it. This is the main reason why people tend to not like photos and pictures of themselves. The selfie cameras on phones help this by mirroring the image. That is why it's a lot easier to take a picture of yourself that you like using the selfie camera, but why you'll cringe whenever you see your photo in the class yearbook. Camera lens does play a part in it somewhat, but that's stepping into professional photography. Depending on the lens that you use (and the lighting), you are able to change how attractive someone gets perceived. But this is only a minor reason. In fact, lighting plays a much bigger role than the actual camera lens does most of the time.

[@neotronextrem]

The way you look in the mirror is actually closer to how you look to other people that know you. Other people filter out the same asymmetries in our face that we filter out after just 3 months of knowing us. They filter out the imperfections, the little ugly things that bother us in pictures. This can be proven, just look at a friend/partner in the mirror, youll see how they actually look, and how they themselves see themselves in pictures. But normally, your mirror self is closer to how you look than pictures are. Pictures are also heavily distorted due to lens-distortion. Just taking selfies from further away will already make you look miles better and closer to how you look in the mirror, because mirror us is seen by two lenses, not one heavily distorted one.

What does it mean when you hate how you look in selfies but think you look amazing in the yearbook photos?

I'm a girl, was bullied significantly for a "flaw" (wider forehead) by a group of older girls who I didn't even know and it crushed my self esteem. Over the years I considered getting cosmetic surgery to lower my hairline and so on, but ultimately I've settled on no. I have been using photoshop professionally for many years, so I've taken photos and lowered the hairline/tried to decrease the size of my forehead but my face never looks right proportionally. Something looks off even if I just lower it an inch. I had cosmetic surgery on my lip when I was a baby. At this point the only thing I'm interested in getting cosmetic procedures to fix is my teeth, but that's mostly health related with a hint of cosmetic. I don't need much work aside from that, my skin is acne prone but okay, my body isn't even that bad yea I would like a flatter/more toned stomach but if an inch of lower stomach fat is the turn off I think it says more about the other person than it says about me, my face isn't awful, and considering altering my forehead would mess up my facial proportion I don't even think that it's anything to feel insecure about anymore. If I hate it I can just get bangs, problem solved. It's upsetting that many girls my age don't see all of the stuff on social media for what it is, or simply cannot see it for themselves without somebody having to go to a length to prove it to them. I can't say it a lot but I'm actually quite lucky I guess.

[@darkchurchhill]

This is really dependent on who is surrounding you and the fact that your “flaw” probably isn’t that prominent. You felt insecure about your forehead due to those who bullied you a long while back, but currently the people around you don’t seem to care so it’s easy for you not to care as well. However, if your “flaw” was more glaring to the standards around you, you might still long to get work done. Standards vary a lot depending on where you live, how attractive your friends are, where you hang, your profession, etc. It’s not that many girls “can’t see” that social media is smoke and mirrors. It’s that they live different lives than you. They might long to work in sales or entertainment where the standards are higher or have a terrible mother who calls them ugly. It might say much more about the people who judge you, but if that person is someone you respected, it’s harder to ignore.

[@gyrthez246]

@@MalignantGarden The point of bringing this up, much like the video, is not to go out and change a perceived flaw. It's actually the exact opposite. You can ask the same to others, "Was it really that hard to just go under the knife to get that one thing fixed?" The problem is that when you "fix" one perceived flaw, another arises. You'll forever be chasing to "fix" these perceived flaws and you'll ruin your natural beauty/health in doing so and waste your life away chasing it. Unfortunately once this cycle of thinking begins, it's very hard to break it. In reality nobody should feel they have to change their own style or their own features just to appease somebody else or to meet somebody else's standards of how one should look. I wasn't a model then, never wanted to be a model, and still am not a model now, so why should it matter so much whether my forehead is slightly larger or not..? Young people now get to scroll through Instagram, seeing heavily filtered and edited photos that were carefully selected by the creator out of the thousands of photos they take, to make sure they're portrayed in the most envious light, and the problem here is that young people are comparing themselves to these images because these fake images are all they see. They then apply this fake reality and extreme, rigid expectations to themselves and everyone around them. When people inevitably do not live up to those standards, they receive hate.. much like I did. Yes, I could have gotten bangs. Sure, let's go with that. And I guarantee you the following week I'd be bullied about another physical feature. Maybe I'll go fix that too, then when I do I'll get bullied for another physical feature. It's a never ending cycle, extremely difficult to not fall victim to, but it's crucial for your own health to resist falling into that negative spiral of thinking.

Btw, it is not specifically the lense, but the distance you take the photo. When you take a selfie you are like 10-30cm away from your face, which is way too close, so the phone must use a wide angle lense to capture your face. If you take a photo 2 meters away you will look better. Here it does not matter if you use a wide angle lense or a zoomed in lense, you will look the same, but the zoomed in lense will be better cus it shows more you and less the surroundings. But if you crop the wide angle photo you will get the exact same look as the zoomed in lense. Wide angle does not stretch anything, it just shows more of the sides. When you take a photo very close your nose will be big and ears small no matter what lense you use. This is because of the angle the light hits the camera. The distance from ear to camera is twice the distance from nose to camera. If you move back 2 meters the distance is almost the same, therefore it looks way better. If you use a selfie stick and zoom in it will look way better.

There is a new study that shows that constant & prolonged use of sun screen has a higher result in skin cancer than normal exposure to the sun.

i love how some women getting in this clownery by their choice is a social issue that should be address but 40% of young men not being able to get a gf is just their fault and they should rot alone

Women crying on IG about the unrealistic beauty standard of being slim --> "You poor thing" Men literally experiencing utter loneliness and misery --> "Uhh, get a life incel"

[@jeremymullens7167]

Society has pressures that we should change and people are individually responsible. Weight is going up and we have societal epidemic for obesity. Changing society to fix this is a positive. On a personal level, you’re responsible for your own weight. I met a girl who has been obese her whole life. There is no other way to be. I would blame her parents maybe and as she ages responsibly becomes hers. But that’s a hard thing to change if it’s the only way you’ve ever been. Society should be structured to benefit people and if we can better avoid problems we should. Even if people are individually responsible. Better not leave pitfalls around.

2:14 Incorrect. It's not the camera lens. It's because we are used to looking at our reflections so when we see ourselves in pictures, where our images aren't mirrored, we look different / odd to ourselves. Ironically this is what everyone sees all the time. There's actually a name for this phenomenon and even a VSauce video about it.

[@carlover4239]

Not incorrect. Look up photos for “focal length portrait comparison”. There’s a reason professional portraits are usually taken with an 85-200mm focal length. Your standard phone camera focal length is around 24mm-35mm.

Lens is also true and what you said is true

I’m guilty of being a heavy social media user, but there’s no doubt in my mind that this is the reason we are less community-oriented and so divided today. It’s literally made everyone a narcissist.

You're right about working out making structure better, overall, I went from 450lbs to 250lbs. Pure exercise and diet. 😊

I recently looked up a chick on Instagram that I dated back in 2012, she looks completely unrecognizable now due to do all the clownish surgery she's had on her face. Shit is wild man

Women weren’t changed by social media, they were exposed. There’s a difference.

[@Bonesawisready926]

A lot of them were exposed as ugly on the inside.

[@miguelgonzalez6495]

Yes and no. The hypocrites are exposed and the non-hypocrites are changed and develop insecurities and/or narcissism from the lack of attention or too much attention.

Cant wait for the heat death of the universe

[@maozedong8370]

You're gonna be waiting a while for that event. It will only occur in, say 1.7×10^106 years.

Can't wait for the half-life of tellerium-128 to finish in 2.2 X 10^24 years. This is about 160 trillion times longer than the universes current age.

[@maozedong8370]

@@daleseb339 No, we don't and that is completely subjective anyway. You live in THIS era, what makes you think it is appropriate to assess what it is like living in all other eras you didn't exist in and then judge yours as the best? That is the most biased thing I've ever heard.

Never had any from the getgo, oh damn there was a dating app with flagrant women all wanting to have my baby but it took me about 2 days to realize they were all batshit crazy so it sobered me up real fast 🙏 And yes I am considered a freak when people try to communicate through text/mail even , just too busy watching other people implode on youtube I guess its the strange sad world were trying to cope with.

[@ilbgentyl]

The same applys to working out. Once you start overall you're happier but you endlessly see what you can improve.

43:19 that's probably because of blackhead removals, it might count as a cosmetic surgery
