Instagram influencers [I Use Instagram]

There is this lady on Instagram. Every day, literally, she needs some video content to put onto her profile talking about how happy she is with everything, how she has all these life hacks and has her own business (affiliate marketing holidays) and how she wants to help you improve every aspect of your life because she's so independent and driven etc.

Yet over the of the last couple of months this has happened:

"I'm going to lose weight, look here's a picture of me doing pressups"

*couple days later* "this is why you should accept your body the way it is"

*couple of months later* "I love my curves but it's unhealthy so I'm going to go to the gym"

*few days later* "having a lot of weight is fine, we just went through a pandemic"

We all went through lockdown. With all the free time, my partner did lots of exercise and had home cooked meals. He lost loads of weight. I don't see the validity of the excuse there.

Next it will be "Now the pandemic is over, we need several months of making up for the pandemic not being able to eat out, so don't worry about being gluttonous!" Then a couple of months later "This is the first christmas after lockdown, you can afford to keep that belly being able to have all those christmas meals with your family for the first time!"

It's a sorry sight in my eyes, but unfortunately it seems that if you are on the internet and have a vagina, you will have no shortage of men pretending everything you do is perfection, even if you aren't the most attractive. And then you never self reflect and improve, especially when every post you make is geared in a way to make any sort of constructive criticism seem like some sort of nastiness.

People want attention on their social media every day. But by very nature of something being amazing enough to gain attention, it can't be something you are achieve in a day. If it were that easy, it would not merit attention, everyone could do it. This desperation got so strong in this person in question, that they posted a "life hack" video pointing out that you can put a self timer on your phone camera. I've never been able to use a phone camera without learning that this can be done, it's so fundamental.
