Comparing yourself to models online and feeling inadequate

Hey, just an interesting topic and not trying to be shallow or narcisisstic by saying this.

But do you sometimes feel as a woman a bit inadequate to the models we see online. I know they've probably been edited a lot. But especially when someone quite close to you likes pictures that are slightly provocative, it slightly annoys me.

I get that at the end o the day, it's just a body and people are allowed to like what they want but sometimes it just gets to me a bit.

Be interesting to see other people's ideas on this topic.

Thanks Emma

I don’t remember a time where I didn’t feel inadequate tbh
It’s the way we’re being conditioned, make people feel inadequate, sell product depicting users quality of life improving, cash in
