In today’s digital age, social media has become a central hub for connecting with friends, family, and even strangers.
However, the pressure to present a perfect image online can be overwhelming, leading some people to use editing tools like Facetune and Photoshop to present an idealized version of themselves on platforms like Instagram.
This can create a discrepancy between what we see on our feeds and reality, leading to the phrase “Instagram Reality.” There’s even a subreddit dedicated to showcasing these types of Photoshop fails, which serves as a reminder of just how inauthentic some people can be on social media.
