How do you feel attractive when you do not look like social media standards?

Question

Every time I open Instagram I feel worse about myself. The beauty standards promoted seem completely unachievable for most real people. How do you maintain a positive self-image in a world that constantly tells you that you are not enough?

Curate your feed aggressively. Follow people who look like you, who talk about body diversity, and who make you feel good rather than inadequate. What you consume shapes your perception of normal.

Remember that the images you are comparing yourself to are the result of professional lighting, makeup, posing, editing, and sometimes surgery. You are comparing your unfiltered reality to someone's highly produced content.
