I really wonder what is going on in their head when they 'shop themselves into oblivion. On some level I feel sorry for them, because they must have serious mental issues. But on the other hand they are a-holes promoting a toxic culture to a wide and often very impressionable audience.

Some of these filters are ridiculously fake looking, do these people actually think they make them look sexy? Also, level of denial of when some of these 'influencers' get called out is ridiculous.

It's really sad that so many people feel the need to contrive themselves into something that barely looks human.

I feel sorry for them, and for the society in general. They wouldn't do that if they didn't feel like they had to

Very sad to see how some people distort their reality to such extent.

This is a really sad state for society :(

Some of these are so outrageously bizarre and over the top that you can’t help but laugh a little, but some of the others are honestly disturbing and quite sad.

some of these are probably becuase of insecurity an unreleasistic expectations but people obviously go way too far and look like their eyes are gonna pop out their heads and that they clearly have no internal organs

Quite a few of these make me really sad. People skewing their appearances to such an extreme is troubling.

I think about the misguided efforts. Hours and hours devoted to sitting and editing these fake things. Not for being taken as fake but as real. It's worse then bragging about it. Here you've made up an entire narrative to support a lie (the travel pictures) on top of worrying you'll be asked a question about "that place" at some point. On the other hand these people are so deluded and fake they could get away with it with a histrionic wave of a hand. Pathetic. In their old age theyll look at these photos of their youth "fake spent" in Mexico and think how they were behind a computer one saturday afternoon. Not a moment. Not an experience. Nothing learned. Just time wasted....

I weep for our children.

We have a very insecure generation coming to be.........it is really sad

This article tells you everything you need to know about people and how fake they are... if this is what they do to the images of their likeness in order to convince people who they are, then what does that say about the words that come out of their mouths?

So many of the edited pictures look like anime or comics--it makes me wonder if that was the intention with them. They just don't look like photos anymore. So I guess I am thinking of giving some folks the benefit of the doubt.
