Fake World, Fake Self
- Social media showcases to us a world painted with beauty, luxury and leisure, where everyone is looking good and feeling happy.
- This is creating a gap between the fantasy world in our smartphones and the real world.
- Apps allow us to present ourselves in the best possible way, hiding our imperfections with beauty-enhancing software, providing others with a carefully selected, curated image of ourselves.
- In return, we get more of the same, as the world we see on social media, especially the world of influencers on Instagram, is altered to hide anything unworthy or ugly.
