The Dark side of SOFT GIRL Trend & Why it has Become Dangerous.

The “soft girl” trend, celebrated for its pastel colors, gentle aesthetics, and embrace of a carefree lifestyle, has captivated the internet. But beneath its charming surface lies a darker side that has become increasingly dangerous. This trend, which seems innocent and whimsical, can have profound psychological impacts and perpetuate unrealistic standards.
The allure of the soft girl trend is its promise of simplicity and beauty, yet it often pressures individuals to conform to an idealized image. This conformity can lead to significant mental health issues, including anxiety and depression, as individuals struggle to maintain the perfect, effortless appearance showcased on social media. The pressure to constantly present a curated, flawless life can be overwhelming, creating a facade that is difficult to uphold.
Moreover, the trend’s emphasis on materialism and consumerism is problematic. The soft girl aesthetic often involves purchasing specific brands, clothing, and accessories, promoting a cycle of consumption that can lead to financial strain and environmental harm. This aspect of the trend feeds into the broader issue of fast fashion, which has severe ecological consequences.
Another concerning element is the potential for the soft girl trend to overshadow more meaningful pursuits. Young individuals might prioritize aesthetics over personal growth, education, or career ambitions, leading to a superficial approach to life. The trend can also perpetuate gender stereotypes, reinforcing the idea that femininity is inherently linked to softness and passivity, which can be limiting and regressive.
In conclusion, while the soft girl trend may appear benign, its underlying implications are far-reaching and potentially harmful. It is essential to approach such trends with a critical eye, recognizing their impact on mental health, financial stability, and societal values. By doing so, we can appreciate aesthetic trends without succumbing to their more dangerous aspects.

I really hate the fact that now we make life aestethic,you need to look aesthetically pleasing,your food and drink,your clothing…everything
It’s just too much pressure ,and nothing good comes out of it

[@LucyAkao]

I know right ! we do we have lost our own creativity and we see our lives in the lenses of what others do not who we are and our true selves x

[@Calycious_Loves]

Independent woman, who works hard and takes a well deserved treat is a major flex. I wanna work for my money and enjoy it as i like. Peer pressure at its best/ low self-esteem vibes💯. Love this

[@LucyAkao]

Exactly I am the same 🥰glamorising not doing anything and waiting for someone to do things for you is not a life at all it’s becoming a lifestyle that many people are entertaining that I am like hmmmmm .

[@Bi9Dre]

im glad spoke about it! and glad you're using your platform and influence to spread something positive! in theory it's great but the majority of people will not be able to maintain the lifestyle they portray on socials

[@LucyAkao]

Thank you yes keeping up a lifestyle just because everyone is just not right at all that’s why alot of people go through a state of not feeling good enough but who said you were not - the world you are chasing

[@Bi9Dre]

@@LucyAkao exactly ! Being happy within ourselves is all that matters

[@nerida3347]

I am disabled and can't work. I take care of the housework that I can because I like feeling like I'm contributing to me and my boyfriend's household. I just can't imagine actively deciding to do the bare minimum on purpose, I'd feel like a burden if I wasn't even doing the things I still can do, and also feel like I'm rotting away in my own home

[@LucyAkao]

You are a true example for so many people I also cannot imagine not doing anything just letting my brain rote away . especially when I know I can . Honestly this is the best comment ever . We tend to define ourselves and then blame ourselves why we are the way we are . 🥰🥰Thanks for such a beautiful comment.

[@ItsMarianneivy]

I agree with all that you’ve said. In this life, everything has a tendency to go overboard. I think people interpret it differently. Soft life as we see it now has been mixed with sprinkle sprinkle to become an entirely new thing. That is what happens when everything tends to be a trend. Much like the ‘old-money’ thing.

[@LucyAkao]

Yes everything can be misinterpreted but then it comes down to us who are passing on the message we glamourise everything make it look sprinkle spelled in reality it’s a mad house life is just a mad place of us trying to find sanity 😂😂 the old money things is just way over board at this point good video to talk about now .

[@ItsMarianneivy]

This is interesting so far. I am only at 1.45 but I want to leave a comment about my perception on this matter before I actually finish.
To me soft life means working hard so I can get to enjoy the pleasures that come as a result of my hardworking. For example paying a cleaner so I can relax on a Saturday morning because I am tired after doing my two jobs and looking after a family. The important aspect here is ensuring affordability.
Now let me watch and then I will comment again 😊

[@LucyAkao]

Omg woow spot on paying a cleaner so
I can relax imagine that yes yes ensuring affordability exactly.
