What Is Considered "Perfect"?

Looks play a huge role in social media because people only like and follow what they find attractive or funny. For a very long time, the media has taught us that beauty has one look. This look consists of someone who has a “perfect face,” this is usually a symmetrical face.

This look also consists of someone with a perfect body. A body that is skinny, with curves in “all the right places." Although it is easy to put on makeup and sculpt your face to look like someone else's, it is much harder to trick people that your body looks different then what it is. 

This causes people to feel like they cannot be successful because they cannot fully achieve the look of the people they look up to who have these glamorous lives. 

So, as a result, they do everything in their power to look like these people. This usually results in losing weight, and when people want to lose weight they usually resort to not eating. There are a lot of cases of eating disorders in the world, along with depression. 

When the only goal you have is to look like someone else, you are never going to be satisfied. This is why people continue to overwork their bodies because they are not happy with themselves. 

The reality is, most people cannot achieve the look they want because their body is not designed to look that specific way or they do not have enough money to get surgery to look the way they want. Although people may know that they will never achieve their goal, they will not give up because that would mean they are giving up on becoming happy and successful.
