Why Sometimes You Don’t Like Your Photos – There’s a reason

by

When time passes and you see the photo again, you think that you weren’t so bad after all and maybe you should have uploaded it…

How many times have you been in the phase where you have done something new on yourself or worn something new and you want to take a picture for social media?

And while at that time you feel like a goddess, when the moment comes to upload it, you wonder what you don’t like and spot all the “flaws”. This is something that happens to us very often and is definitely directly affected by our use of social media.

When some time passes and you come across this photo again, you think that you weren’t so bad after all and maybe you should have uploaded it.

But why does this happen?

First of all, we do not judge objectively.

Whatever we try, see or hear we do not judge whether we like it or not based on some known and objective criteria but based on our own preferences and taste. Consequently, we also define the amount of demands we have and we usually have many demands from ourselves. We always focus on something negative rather than the positive part of the photo about it and feel insecure to upload it.

In a way, the fact that plastic surgery for aesthetic reasons is on the rise is also justified, because women mainly have the wrong faces as models, the ones they see on the internet, without thinking that they are fake.

When we look at the photos again after a long time, we are overwhelmed by a feeling of nostalgia and we think that when we took them we were in a much better situation than we are today. This is true in some cases but not always. Wrinkles and changes in appearance as we age is an inevitable process and all we can do is embrace and enjoy each stage of our life, not try to suppress it and fit into the mold it projects society as even and beautiful.

In the same position was Courtney Cox, who had many operations to change her appearance and keep her face firm and young, not seeing the reality. The result was that she was disfigured and today she regrets that she ran away like that and lost control, she says.
