Most of us are probably guilty of polishing our social media accounts. Some, however, don't stop there. They go above and beyond, inventing a totally new self. Luckily, the subreddit r/Instagramreality is dedicated to exposing these fakes, and allow us to see their true colors. With 598k active members, they regularly post new findings that sometimes look too bad to be true. Yet they are. If you're done scrolling and wish to check out more similar pics, fire up our other Instagram vs. Reality posts here and here.

It's not only the bellybutton, it's the whole positioning of the muscles compared to the pose. That's not how it works.

Tbh a picture doesn't need clouds to be good. A clear sky might be even better. I'm not saying they have rlly bad taste, im just saying that they might be trying to hard.

Idk not gonna lie but I feel kinda bad for her because there’s kind of an expectation for her/celebrities in general to look amazing forever and 100 percent of the time. If she doesn’t look exactly like she did when she was 15-20 when she’s 30-40 pics of her are immediately photoshopped to high hell just because of the expectation so :/
