One Woman On Social Networks, Completely Other One In Real Life

One Woman On Social Networks, Completely Other One In Real Life

Of all my friends and acquaintances, I think maybe only three of them don’t use social networks. Today we are surprised to hear that someone has no profile on Facebook or Instagram. We share beautiful moments and bad things for ourselves. We all would instead publish a bouquet of flowers we received before we write something about the argument we had before. 

Some of you don’t put any pictures of gifts and intimate stuff. But this is not a subject today. 

Today it is about people who have one life on social networks and a completely different experience out of it. This time the accent is on those who first emphasize their physical appearance. 

So, by accident, I saw my friend’s comment on a girl’s picture, so I went to the profile, and there I saw her 1000 photos made in front of the mirror. On each photo, there are marriage proposals, some fake profiles, and a bunch of compliments. I don’t want to be an envy woman, and I have to admit: this girl looks fantastic! 

She looks like a supermodel. 

After a few days, I sit on the bench in the park, and two girls sit beside me. I see one face looks familiar to me, but I cannot quite understand who it is. After ten minutes I connect the story: 

It is the same girl whose social profile I looked a few days ago. 

Wait a minute! 

The blond, blue eyes with long lashes are small and brown? 

The long legs and waist all disappeared. 

No, I’m not saying the girl is ugly, or I have something against her physical appearance, but what I see is quite another person than I’ve seen on social networks. 

I don’t believe it’s the same person. But we all know that there is at least one such person who tries to look better on photos and who photoshops all of her pictures. I have nothing against plastic surgery or photoshop, and I’m not interested in who posts photos and what they look like. 

But I have a big issue with presenting yourself as somebody else. What’s that for? Just to be popular on the Instagram and get a pile of likes? 

WOMEN, DON’T DO IT! 

Now I have to write that stereotypical sentence; EVERY WOMAN IS BEAUTIFUL IN HER WAY. 

But they are! Someone like short, some high girls, some like skinny ones, and some like chubby girls. But first of all, you have to like yourselves. 

Somebody is going through your profiles and imagines an entirely different picture of you. When he meets you in real life, he is disappointed. 

You will think he is disappointed because you are ugly? No, no! 

That person is disappointed because you aren’t the person he expected and you are representing as a different person. 

DON’T DO THIS TO YOURSELF! 

Be what you are at all times. Who loves you – loves you exactly as you are. Ignoring who you are with all the embellishment on social media. You have the right to change something you don’t like on yourself so do it. But not with photoshop and posing. 

DON’T FORGET: Beauty comes from the inside.
