Social Media Appearance Self-Criticism

🤳 The rise of social media has made people constantly assess their virtual appearance, leading to self-criticism and higher awareness of perceived flaws.
📋Research indicates that frequent social media usage can foster unrealistic beauty ideals, increase appearance concerns, anxiety, and can worsen body dysmorphic disorder creating comorbidity such as depression and eating disorders.
💉Excessive social media usage can potentially drive people to seek minor cosmetic and plastic surgery procedures, even at younger age.
