Today I want to talk about something that's been on my mind for a while. It'll be about Instagram faces and the similarity of all girls on social media 🤓
Trends of typifying looks are becoming more and more prominent now in today's society. We can clearly trace the trend towards unification: same faces, same habits, same figures. This phenomenon is not accidental and, in my opinion, has deep roots. The problem has its origins in the media space, where the rapid popularity of certain types of appearance creates the illusion of the only true standard of beauty. Have you noticed those millions of identical faces of bloggers, TikTokers and models? I sometimes find it hard to distinguish one from the other, at least when all the content is based only on short dances or opening their mouths to music.
The trend of bringing everyone to the same standard of beauty raises a lot of questions for me personally. Is there really a universal standard of attractiveness? Can one template fit all? These questions make me think about the nature of beauty and how it is perceived in society. Should we really succumb to this dystopian trend, or should we maintain our autonomy?
In my life, I have more than once encountered people who criticized my appearance. I have to be honest, such moments made me doubt myself. The thoughts crept into my head: "Maybe there is something wrong with me? Maybe I need to change or redesign something about myself?" These doubts are natural when we are faced with the pressure of societal stereotypes and mindless absorption of content on Instagram, TikTok, or wherever. And after a long debate with myself, I have firmly decided that "averaging" does not suit me; I do not want to limit my views, my opportunities, and lock myself in a cage called "media standards".
I am convinced of one simple truth — "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". This is not just a pretty phrase, but a profound truth about the diversity of forms of beauty.
