Saw this one on Reddit (don’t judge haha) and thought I would see what the collective of Lemmy thought!!

    If you spend any amount of time engaging with “influencer” social media content, then you likely have a skewed perspective and damaged self image.

      I’m not sure I follow this response. Would you be willing to expand on it?

      What about engaging with influencers would dictate attractiveness or lack there of?

        The post is not asking about how attractive or not someone is. It is asking about indicators that one may be more attractive than they think. A common indicator is engagement with unhealthy social media.

          That’s fair and I appreciate the follow up. When I posted that question, I wasn’t thinking along those lines. I was thinking more along the lines of the “baby stare”, “people being really nice to you”, “people being flirty”.

          In the context of “someone doesn’t think they are attractive but the signs they get say otherwise, even if they don’t recognize them”.

          Always interesting to hear a different perspective. I hope you’re having a great day!!
