Indeed, some a genuinely impressive. But a lot of these are celebrities showing off. Or then teenagers showing how they went from nerds to Instagram meat. We keep blathering about how wrong it is to impose unrealistic body standards, and that's precisely what many of these posts are: people showing how good they are at respecting the accepted standards of beauty. It makes even less sense when we think that many of them are vocally against this standardization of beauty... "Stop saying how we should look like!!!" --- 5 minutes later on Instagram --- "Wow just look how good I look by hurting my body at the gym for 2 hours a day". It IS narcissistic and harmful.

It should not be all about looks. That is the wors thing that came with internet, endless focus on looks. I am pre-internet generation and when I was in 20s, looks weren't that important at all. Everything was not about how you look and no one had the need to show the world "look, this is me! Tell me I am pretty!". Looks are NOT your worth they should not be. Someone will love your looks someone will not but you should no matter what. And you should show the world your creations, and your successes, accomplishments, not just how pretty you have become.

Indeed, it counts while they don't look like zombies out of our worst nightmares... at 45 if they are lucky. surgery.jpg
