Open the APP and discover your new 'deficiency'

In a recently published new study, scientists reviewed and analyzed 113 high-quality papers that clearly indicate that "social media use may trigger body image disorder (excessive preoccupation with one's image and dissatisfaction) and exacerbate eating disorders in young people.


Social media, how make us lose confidence in ourselves?

First of all, a large number of beautified pictures and videos make us more dissatisfied with the reality of ourselves.

Before the emergence of social media, there were only a limited number of other people we could "watch", and what we could see was our real faces and bodies.

When more and more beautiful faces and devilish bodies are presented to us through social media, we will intentionally or unintentionally compare ourselves while admiring others, creating the impression that "they are all more beautiful than me".

Secondly, social media provides the opportunity for "anyone to comment".

In life, we are less likely to comment and spit on the looks of those around us directly, but across the screen, malicious curses and well-intentioned reminders are more direct.

Eventually fall into a vicious circle of information: keep seeking evaluation, keep changing yourself to seek approval, get new advice, keep changing your appearance, dress up, toss yourself, and then, enter the next round of the cycle.

Anxiety, not only exists in the mental level It will be superimposed on the "physical damage"

When we are dissatisfied with our appearance or body parts, or even feel ugly or defective, we consciously or unconsciously make 'bug fixes' to ourselves in the expectation of moving closer to the standard.

The first step in the solution is usually to

Weight loss

So the eating disorder, appeared.

Body image dissatisfaction and eating disorders among young people are on the rise every year. Young women, in particular, are the main group affected by eating disorders.

According to a recent UK government report, 95% of people under the age of 18 express a desire to change their appearance, and body image is one of the top three anxieties of Australian teenagers. It is estimated that 13% of young people have suffered from an eating disorder by the age of 20 and 15% to 47% report having experienced eating disorder cognitions and behaviours.

Preliminary evidence suggests that these are associated with social media use.

Less Internet, you will find yourself actually great

All we can do is stay off social media, stay out of situations that make us anxious, and not compare ourselves to others.

A new study released in March showed that people who reduced their social media use by 15 minutes a day had an average of 15 percent better immune function, 50 percent better sleep quality and 30 percent fewer depressive symptoms.

Instead of feeling anxious and inferior in the illusion created by others, put down your phone and feel real life and real people.
