I deleted tik tok because it was literally giving me body dysmorphia. I don't care if i'm missing out on new trends. My mental health is more important.
Good for you !! I really love hearing that because a lot of young people will cry over things that can be solved by deleting a social media app but will still refuse to do it
i got that sadly now i need therapy.
I agree
@@belleniiut6034 I’m sorry to hear that, but I hope you get the help you need
i did this for about 2 months and i actually saw a big difference, i was happier and cared less about appearances/felt better ab myself. sadly, im back on the app and as i continue to use it, i notice that i always check my body and face in the mirror whenever im alone and in front of one. i know i will continue to use this app until i am once again in a low mental state instead of just putting the app down completely. but one day i hope i can leave the app behind. sadly, there is indeed a lot of fun content on there as well as a lot of cool content creators that i enjoy watching
bruh i swear gen z swears that we’re the most progressive but we still put the most worth on looks like wtf
1 step forward, 2 steps back 🤦🏾♂️ cha cha real smooth
Yet they are the ones who say "body positive" in one minute and then be calling people names on another. Istg i see a lot of 15-18 year olds being more ruthless and rude than boomers are...

I dont think that pretty people understand how fucking painful it is to be ugly. Like realising that *_this_* is how you're going to look forever and that it gets worse as you age is absolutely fucking painful. I can't describe it any other way.
Every time she said "what difference does it make" I cringed. This girl is pretty and intelligent, but she doesnt realize how different one's life experience can be when they're not conventionally attractive. People perceive you in a completely different way - they ignore you, exclude you, ect. I know it's not the most important thing to be attractive, but being unattractive does have an effect on you socially.
Me being me, i feel like no one is ugly. And once you stop highlighting everyone’s opinions of u and only look for validation within yourself instead of others is when u start to have confidence and I feel like u will look better naturally. And looks are subjective not objective how some ppl try to put it. Even if u feel the ugliest, it’s still subjective and stop looking at it as a fact and stop focusing on it so much. U just gotta take that time to work on your mental
@@Laura-yu8hs agreeeed. also literally no shade to this creator! I just started following them today. but I do find it interesting/funny that they included their own tiktok clip where it shows how symmetrical they are. like if one of the main points of this video is that it doesn't make a difference/it REALLY doesn't matter, why spend several minutes beforehand showing and telling us that you are in fact facially symmetrical though? LOL
Absolutely. Quarantine was a really good time for my body image bc I didn't have to worry or deal with the judgement of others because of how I looked (also wasn't using social media) so I could just exist.
I know I'm not really good looking, I'm average at best. I see it in how my friends get treated compared to me, or how guys talk in front of me, or how people react to me. But at least in quarantine I could wear a mask and just vibe without the constant reminder that I'm not attractive. And I didn't mind what I saw in the mirror as much lol.
Samee. But I thought about myself hating how I look until I die and tbh that’s so tiring. I hate myself less after that
I think its more than just "people wanna be pretty." At this point in pop culture, literally prettiness is the deciding factor on fame, success, and WEALTH. It's literally something you CAN put on your resume.
Pretty privilege has been a thing for all of human history.
One of my manager literally made me throw resumes because the candidates are not attractive for her. Disgusting behaviour
Like people can be MODELS for their looks. OFC IM GONNA CARE??!?
Pretty people get life easy yall XD
i hate how teenagers crying over not “passing” trends is it’s own genre on tiktok now.
Yeah that's some wild shit
i know all my friends insecure af cuz of it
Yeah, it’s sad. Kids and (some) teenagers should not be using Tik Tok. That app is toxic, especially if you’re a sensitive person🙃
Are gen z kids ok, like actually? If i was 16 rn id be down BAD BAD

I mean it’s pretty easy for you say ‘asymmetry doesn’t matter’ when you admitted yourself that you have a symmetrical face???
she still has a point. the vast majority of people have asymmetrical faces. it shouldn't matter to anyone that much because it's normal.
Stop being salty. The message is still right and there's plenty of examples of people rocking their asymmetrical features (me for example 😎)

YES.
Thanks for this comment… you are spot on
what psychologist said babies prefer symmetry?? I am pretty sure babies like things that look like faces??
@@nobody-vk1oeFr, I'm pretty sure she just brought up that point about babies JUST so she could flex her symmetrical face every two seconds
It’s totally the scene in mean girls where they’re like “I have man shoulders my forehead is so weird” and then look at Cady like what’s your weird insecurity
@Tin Tea me in middle school
Karen: My hips are so wide
Gretchen: My forehead is huge!
Regina: At least you guys can wear halter tops, I've got man shoulders...
Cady (thinks to herself): "I used to think that there was just fat and skinny. But apparently, there's a lot of things that can be wrong with your body."
Gretchen: My hairline is so weird!
Regina: My pores are huge...
Karen: My nail beds suck...
*Plastics look over to Cady*
Cady: Umm, I have really bad breath in the morning...
Karen: eww.
I love the line where Cady is like "I used to think you could only be big or small, but apparently there's a lot of things that can be wrong with yout body" (or something like that) bc that's how we all start to think when we get older
Mean girls was ahead of its time
My nail beds suck
I know I'm pretty, it's just that if I compare what society sees as beautiful THEN I feel insecure 😔
Same, I'm trying so hard not to think about "other people" (compare myself)
Try not to do it. It’s easier said that done. But abide by YOUR own definition of beauty, not society’s.
I understand you, it be like that, but do not let those individuals get to you. You will find people who like you just the way you are🤘🏾
You literally took the words right out my mouth. I’ll think I’m pretty then I see these insta models then I’m like...oh ok maybe I’m not that pretty 😂😭
Same gurl same 😔
This was a great video but it's cracking me up that she was like "yeah symmetrical faces are said on TikTok to be the height of beauty...anyway, I have a perfectly symmetrical face, what are you all crying about?"
😂
Haha same dude I always think like girl... Easy for you to say you perfectly fit like every beauty standard that crosses tik tok 😒
@@Gtree43 but at the same time why should that be the beauty standard? her video proves how weirdly obsessed you are with trying trying to meet the beauty standard on tiktok.
LMAOOOO DEADASS
@@flaminghotcheetos4262 and yet she flaunts the fact that SHE meets the beauty standards 🙄
that “ugly” filter on tiktok is basically a modern day “don’t judge me challenge”, people are trying to disguise themselves as ugly so they can then prove to people that they’re actually attractive. I realized that tiktok was not only an enabling app for ED’s and insecurities but also racist asf. i had to delete because yes there is funny content on there sometimes but the cons definitely out weigh the pros.
thank you.
as a 14 year old, Tik Tok is the most toxic place I've ever been (I deleted it). My friends have come to cry just because of that, for having an asymmetrical face. I hate society for creating these kind of beauty standards that only generate insecurities
PS:sorry for my poor english
That’s good, it’s sad that people your age are going to grow up on that app
Lana!!
I read somewhere that in reality, it’s pretty normal to not have a completely asymmetrical face. In fact, some ppl have tried to photoshop their faces to see how they’ll look if they have a “asymmetrical” face and let me tell you it looks creepy as hell and I would rather not
The thing is, it's true that from a scientific point symmetry is beauty but asymmetry is always going to be here so why stigmatize it? Like, most people sleep on one side, a lot of people lay down on one side, a lot of people rest their face on their hands, literally almost anything and everything will contribute to asymmetry so why stigmatize it? Like I feel like it's such a normal thing that shouldn't be considered 'weird'
@@ElfainDeLeon omg resting your face on your hand can cause asymmetry? That explains everything for me🤦♀️
What really weird to me is seeing tiktoks of girls sobbing over something reposted on a compilation account on instagram. Literally stealing teen girl pain for profit.

@@amitthapa30 you cannot pretend boys’ issues with beauty are even remotely close to that of young girls’.
Not you lowkey flexing how symmetrical you are the entire video 😂😂
I thought I was the only one who thought that.
It was low-key a little weird.
This video was not it. I’m shocked more people didn’t call this out
@@LimpFingers Fr I don’t want to be a hater but it’s very annoying to me when people do this
right like how she gonna say "no one gives a f*ck" about that but then showing her doing the trend? just dumb shit
i like her videos but it’s a little difficult to take someone’s advice on beauty from
someone so conventionally attractive. like i feel as though it’s easy for her to say “guys just be confident!” when she’s so pretty (i like her vids tho so pls don’t hate)
I feel like she only talks about these things when this doesn't affect her personally.
no like i had the same thought when watching the bbl video. it’s easy to tell people it’s all in their heads and to get over it when it’s not an issue for you. she’s going in on these ppl with relative ease bc she stated (and proved) her face is symmetrical and as for the bbl video she said she has the ideal body type for today’s standard which made it easier to come down on girls who don’t. glad to know it isn’t just me thinking this
@bowlcut no like when she dead said “if i had their bodies i would want a bbl too” i had to put the phone down for a sec
@bowlcut right!
I feel the same way. It's off-putting and it's like she is bragging about herself.
I have the same feeling
TikTok never made the rules. They were always there. Social Media just made it obvious.
Wait what are the rules?
@@COLORMIND.mp4 it's in the title of this video i.e. all the beauty confirmation challenges.
Not all „rules“ existed before social media. This hyperfixation about small features/ imperfections definitely wasn‘t a thing when I was a teenager.
social media propagates them to perfectly normal happy people though so it is also part of the problem
@@Froggele But it’s been around for years without social media? Beauty standards change over years. If social media didn’t exist, this problem will still be an issue. The issues were already there but everyone put it’s on social media or films, magazines, etc...
the thing about babies liking to look at symmetrical faces sounds like complete bullshit. they look at anyone
exactly babies just like looking at faces period.
I feel like that whole portion was literally just to boost her ego or some shit
@@jumpingfrog740 but she does have a symmetrical face
My face is not symmetrical and babies stare at me all the time

Facts
What? How?
Literally what I thought
As someone who has really bad insecurity issues, the whole "Who cares?" thing is kind of mean. Yes, beauty isn't everything. But it's different when you can't get out of bed because you hate how you look, you hurt yourself because you hate how you look, you feel physically sick at your reflection, you've been made fun of for years about your appearance, and you have even thought about ending your life because you hate yourself. I understand that you, as a pretty and secure person, would see everything differently, but please try to think of people who can't just "not care" about their appearance. Because unless we get surgery (too expensive) or put on loads of makeup (which wouldn't even last anyway), we will never be conventionally attractive. And that fact alone, even with beauty not being the top priority in the world, hurts.
Of course this is just my perspective. But try to think more about WHY these people are insecure instead of telling them to get over it.
I feel she intends those comments to people whose mental health is stable, I had diagnosed body dysmorphic disorder, i know its hell, I've felt like that too in the past, in your case it is alarming, please seek proffessional help, medication really helped me, BDD is a serious psychiatric disorder with one of the highest suicide rate attempts it is not a vanity issue, know what you feel is important enough, It is heartbreaking to imagine and remember what you are going through, when I was sick I thought there was no way out but there is, BDD is the real monster not you, now that I am stable and healthy I just can not believe how awful I used to feel about myself (as I could not look at my reflection or I would have a panic attack that would leave me traumatised for weeks in which I was suicidal and depressed) I would even be in the borderline of having an anxiety attack all the time as I was triggered by everything, I couldn't smile.
If you need someone to talk about this you can seriously count on me.
Ranboo !! :D
damn actually i felt this. .. all of this

Your nose is so cute tho!
@@caitlinlewellen9577 Thank you so much! I just know you’re stunning too!🤍
@Average Commenter thank you so much. I try to for sure. It just gets difficult when the media tells you what’s “beautiful” and what isn’t.

ugh for reals !! been made of by white people so much for my asian features, to the point where i hated being asian and wanted to be white when i was younger. it sucks.
when i was deep in my eating disorder i was using tiktok every day and comparing myself to every person on there. now that i’m recovering i haven’t used tiktok in months, and it’s honestly helped my mental health so much.
me too! i’m so glad things have gotten better for you

I'm glad things are better for you now ♥️
Stay strong, I believe in you
Stay strong and thank you for sharing with us. Tik Tok is something else with these trends💯
ok for all my asymmetrical girls out there i just wanna say she's wrong about facial symmetry making u "prettier." studies on facial symmetry show that when a large pool of ppl are shown pictures of various faces and asked to rate their attractiveness, symmetrical faces tend toward a bell cure grouping where most people agree that they're pleasant to look at. But asymmetrical faces tend towards much more varied results. the same asymmetrical face will get some rating it as unattractive and others rating it as incredibly beautiful. we are programmed to expect symmetry as she says, so basically those with asymmetrical faces are more memorable because they break that expectation, which to some is unpleasant but to others is striking. fr tho i wish she had discussed this aspect of facial symmetry instead of trying to prove to us how symmetry makes u prettier always, proving to us that she has a symmetrical face, and then doubling back and saying 'but facial symmetry doesnt matter.' for someone trying to discuss the dangers of comparing urself to beauty confirmation videos she sure has no problem showing us one of herself.
I love you i love you i love you THANKYOU FOR THIS .... i have an incredibly asymmetrical face and when i started this video i was expecting to feel better about myself ....but this woman made me SO insecure....tbh i have never felt more insecure... I started crying and wanted to RIP MY FACE OFF LITERALLY.... she said it in a way that wasn’t even outrightly rude so I thought she was making complete sense and it is what it is i am ugly ....and then I found this comment and now i feel so pretty because although i am not the prettiest face in the room but many people say i have a very unique face and very strong features and that just makes me SO happy now I literally love you
I saw this study. It showed that most people preferred slightly asymmetrical faces because symmetrical ones put them into the uncanny Valley.
thank u so much for commenting this omg this video just made me feel even more insecure
"When have you met someone and they've gone like wow your face is really symmetrical hold on that's actually happened to me before🤪" girly atp I feel like you can't go one video without mentioning how people compliment you on a daily basis like I LOVE your confidence but you do this in every single video it's like you are trying to boost your ego
Exactly. She's probably still insecure and needs outside validation to make herself feel good for the moment. She needs to heal.
Literally thought the same. Also she mentions she has a symmetrical face than say “ i did nothing with that information” *inserts video for prove and mentions it even more* umm .. if she herself doesn’t buy what she’s talking about then how viewers gonna feel better anyway.
The humble bragging just gets to me oh my god🤦🏻♀
it’s hard to take her advice and her words to heart when she is clearly such a conventionally attractive individual telling people with less “seen as attractive” features to just love themselves. unfortunately, i think loving yourself is something you have to take into your own hands because society and outside sources are not going to give you the validation you truly need. hope i didn’t offend anyone
-sincerely, a conventionally unattractive binch trying to love herself lol
@@SacredSacral but I feel like extremely insecure. I need a lot of outside validation sometimes because I have self esteem issues but if I were going to make a video and this topic O would just suck it all up.
Hip dips are so weird to me. I never noticed them on me, until i saw posts on how to get rid of them. They were never a fucking problem, nobody looks at somebody and thinks "oh no, they have hip dips" nobody cares. My hip dips are cute, they fit my body type and I refuse to see them as a problem.
I love hip dips they look so unique!!
I've always had a problem with mine. The upside to this is that I now know why my body is like this and that there are more people like me than expected. I don't feel alone anymore.
i literally didn’t know hip dips existed until last year it’s insane.. it’s just bone and body structure! it should be a problem!
I never a problem with my hip dips until I went on tiktok, then I saw a video on youtube saying it's just my bone structure and I can't change that. It kinda helped my body image in a way, even if it's by a little bit. 😭
I never knew they were even a thing
Seeing all these different specific body checking trends got me feeling like cady in mean girls. “I used to think there was just fat and skinny, but it turns out there’s a lot that can be wrong with your body”
Uhh we live in a society or something
omg

@@schnitzelberry It's not just humanity, it some people.
A lot of good points but..... to have someone who literally fits the bill to these tik tok beauty standards talk about how no one cares if you're ugly and its ok, really just makes all those points fly out the window.
yah we need someone ugly on the case (not me tho; i’m pretty. y’all stay easy)
Yeah put someone who looks like me in front of a camera and see if people still wanna hear what i say lmao. 0 views
It's not only that but I feel like she's humble bragging about the fact that she's conventionally attractive the whole time. I'm good at recognizing that because it's something I used to do unconsciously about being good at school but it's really weird to see someone say that tik tok is toxic and stupid and you shouldn't care about beauty standards and all while flexing on your good looks.
@@Andrea-pr7wo She does that all the time... it’s like she makes these videos to flex. She’s tone deaf for sure
yea I noticed that but thought it was just me :/
when i first started watching you, i really liked you a lot- but now it just kind of seems like youre a person that fits all the beauty standards telling people that dont fit the beauty standard to calm down and stop crying. like- the bbl video and this one just seem so conceited because in the midst of talking about the trend, you compliment yourself and put down other people. like youre allowed to feel confident about your curvy body and symmetrical face, but why do you have to bring it up in a video talking about how "stupid" the trend is, and why people should stop being so upset. you just contradicted yourself by saying nobody cares, then flexing by saying how you do have those things- pls
its easier for people who fit the beauty standard like, having the curvy body and having a pretty face to tell people that dont have those things to stop crying and love themselves.
Definitely agree with you :)
She's just confident
Agreed, shes really pretty and confident and that I'm okay with like that's normal but I remember watching her video about beauty standards and halfway through the video no THROUGHOUT the video she constantly talked about how she fit the beauty standard like mam? Yes you're pretty this video isnt about you it's about how toxic the beauty standard is but you're still flaunting that you fit it? she ends up defeating the point of her videos
3:59 in the video she litterally stopped talking about the symmetry trend and then talk about how her own face is symmetrical and got back on track, I know some people are gonna view our comments are insecure or rude hut we arent, just pointing out flaws in serious topics
That “is my face symmetrical” trend is stupid and useless though
There’s like a new trend on tiktok that i lovedddd which is the trend “I’m so sick and tired of the photoshop” and it’s basically beautiful girls and guys showing ppl that hey, we have acne, we have skin texture, stretch marks, body fat etc and it’s just so sweet.
i love that one too!! Everyone still looks pretty though... but i love the normalization of normal bodies/faces with that trend~
but it's so crazy to me that they had to make a trend normalizing NORMAL FEATURES in reaction to how bad the body checking culture was getting
@@user-mv5tm8eu5z i know, I just think that we humans always love to more and do better and live faster that we forgot that the simplest things are beautiful enough
Guys? It's a girl trend mostly
@@boredshrimp9425 Bruh you just said mostly , meaning not entirely
I don’t have a symmetrical face but babies still stare at me. I don’t think the logic is sound there. Also remember that even supermodels don’t have symmetrical faces! Their photos are edited to look like it tho
I studied the concept of beauty in uni and she misspoke a little. Babies 1) will obviously stare at anything, theyre babies and 2) the leading rationale for why they *might* stare longer at symmetrical faces is simply because theres less information to process if both halves are the same. Their little baby brains get tired of analyzing the very chaotic nature of reality (same lol) and an symmetrical face is probably just a less taxing thing to look at for a while
@@COLORMIND.mp4 thank you for explaining!
@@COLORMIND.mp4 This is so interesting. Personally, I dislike uncomplicated things and really enjoy elaborate/detailed/textured/chaotic things, I find 'em stimulating for my senses and get restless and bored without things like that in my life, from bodies to art to decoration. We really shouldn't be trying to make this have implications about anything's worth if it's really just about mental exhaustion and who can tolerate it.
Babies stare at everything, they don’t even know where they’re at
@@ginastar5991 plus they never pay rent; what freeloaders
The tone in this video is very condescending and incendiary. What is the benefit in shaming people who are insecure about their appearance? There is no need to be dense. We know why people want to "confirm" their beauty - people want to be labeled as beautiful to receive the treatment that people largely deemed beautiful receive. It's very sad. Telling people who are insecure to stop being insecure is counterproductive.
Why does she have to point out that she passes all of the beauty tests but that she’s too mature to care about it? So pick me

SAME
fucking same ☠️
Brain chemistry stan here: one of the reasons we like symmetrical faces, camera shots, even 4/4 time in music is because symmetry results in the least amount of cognitive work for our brain.
Our brains are constantly having to define and predict different stimuli so we developed an affinity for anything that repeats itself (pattern recognition bias) because then our senses could “relax” for a second.
So ironically, My brain really doesnt think even faces are cute, shes just lazy and thats the most boring thing in the room. It takes half the effort to focus on lol
Its not an important distinction at all (bc then we invented beauty standards) but i really want to kill that “there is an *ideal* human form” argument. Nah bruh, thats just you projecting. Get therapy.
edit: ah my first 1k comment thanks 🥺
!!!!!!!
thank you for the info!
I didn't know that. It makes a lot of sense though. I read recently how the "we like symmetry because it indicates genetic health" explanation was now debunked and it doesn't actually indicate health at all (I mean unless it's an actual grievous deformity or injury, of course) and it had me wondering what the real reason was, then. So thanks for the info, that's awesome to know.
After all, nature is almost never symmetrical: clouds, trees, flowers, canyons, etc yet we find it beautiful. It's really more about golden ratio and proportions, and even proportions come down to symmetry which thanks to you we now know is just lazy 🧠 preference
@@courtney9546 well said!
Thank you I feel better now🥺
I WAS gonna subscribe but your lack of empathy towards those who are insecure just threw me off, (around 9 minute mark you start a rant) and the fact you tried to humble-brag about having a symmetrical face yourself. You do speak a lot of truth, but I think at the same time, since this issue is not relatable to you anymore (your glow up), you are much more harsh on the people facing it, making it obvious that you view them as super overdramatic, and ranting at them for being 'so fragile.' It didn't feel like tough love, either, it felt insulting. They don't need to hear anymore aggression, they are suffering, too, although no one is above normal criticism, like the people who actively put down others for these physical traits.
All in all, you are right, TikTok is a breeding ground for insecurities and we should collectively say no to that BS and try to combat those harmful challenges any way we can, as well as teach ourselves not to crumble into pieces over something as trivial as elbow skin, or hip dips. This message would just be a bit louder if you didn't boast about being symmetrical. That was kind of funny, ngl. You already showed examples of other people doing the symmetrical filter, you didn't need to demonstrate it yourself then go "OMG the baby staring thing makes so much sense now!! Its because I also have symmetry! I've been told that before, too!!" You probably thought nothing of it but you had plenty time to consider how weird it was, considering you start barking at people who care about their facial symmetry. Weird, dude.
If you read this far, have a good day everyone, I hope you pass all your tests and get a bunch of money. 👐
i agree with you, it didn’t feel like a wiser, older sister telling you how the world is which is what i think she was going for instead it felt more like bullying
I think it's kind of interesting that it proves her point. We claim to say these things don't matter, but actually we checked and we fall into the acceptable side so we're good. While it isn't framed that way, it shows how these body checking trends affected her, too. She has high self awareness and and I feel like she's really close to saying how much it affects her, but she falls short of saying how she would feel if she didn't pass the "body checks". I feel like that would bring her point full circle to a call to action instead of illustrating how you can criticize a trend safely once you know it won't degrade you personally. I hope this made sense. I think she has some interesting takes, but doesn't fully remove herself from the situation, while also not staying in it deep enough to convey a lot of empathy? I think she definitely feels it, but sometimes it doesn't come across, which can make the video feel a little confusing. They're really interesting conversations, though.
this was so true i’m glad someone pointed it out
She did a similar thing in her BBL video using language like "built like a stick" to refer to skinny girls 😬 if she wasn't curvey I feel like she'd be much more considerate with how she spoke, and same here with her knowing she has a symmetrical face
Tbh... Weep we do not care. You got around 80 years in this dumb earth until you rot forever. If you are going to spend it hating yourself that's you.... But I got an alternative, GO TO THE MIRROR AND SAY GOOD STUFF ABOUT URSELF UNTIL U BELIEVE IT or don't 🤷🏾 l was insecure about myself but I woke up one day and said "wtf are you doing rn". Anyways, peace and tranquility. Bye
By constantly mentioning your own face is very symmetrical, are you not in a way feeding into the belief that it is a desirable thing? I know you say people shouldn’t care, so why mention that you do. Feels like you are low-key bragging 🤷🏻♀️
i think so too, it seems as though she makes topics on beauty standards that she meets the requirements for sometimes :/ sorry if this came off as rude i still like her videos
She really does this tho. Like in the BBL video she kept bringing up how she had the ideal body type and then made a joke about skinny girls who don't have big ass or boobs.
Thank you for noticing this!!! She did this in the BBL video as well
Rightttttt omg this is the comment I was looking for
It’s funny bc that’s the first video of hers I watched and NOTICED THAT and then this one like ?
tik tok is making girls so insecure i hate it for it. like sure we were insecure before, but i just imagine how the little girls are getting affected by it and i wanna cry
same with other social media :(
It’s really sad, I’m glad I don’t have tiktok
Exactly my 8 yo cousin is already worried about glowing up WHAT? I didn’t even know what that was until I was 13 :/
@@Ashesinferno28 I deleted it about 5 months ago. TOXIC ASF
even when i see something positive like “this is me posing vs this is me not posing”... something genuinely helpful and eye opening, there’s insecure people projecting commenting things like “you have to force stomach rolls, you don’t get shamed by society for simply being fat like me” it’s like OMG they were trying to be positive!!!
ACTUALLY you CAN edit tiktok videos to look more skinny and curvy. There is a critic video about this app and... it's scary. For now on EVERYTHING is fake in internet for me. Everything.
can we actually stop shaming people for having insecurities
I agree, but most of these comments are instead shaming the people promoting their insecurities to others.
You don't EVER need to talk about what you don't like about yourself. It's never helpful or entertaining.
@@Nakia11798 woah man...what's wrong with vocalizing your insecurities? Like im not talking 'omg ur sooo Beautiful and I'm soo ugly 😢' type of shit, but literally being clear with what bothers you about yourself, in a place that was meant for such comments?
Body neutrality > body positivity
I don’t think she was shaming? I think y’all are letting your insecurities get the best of you. She was stating that sharing your insecurities isn’t helpful to anyone, even yourself. That’s not shaming. You can have insecurities but learn to love them or change them. Being sad about it isn’t productive and it’s bad for your mental health.
@@hotsexyangel this is most weird anadotal unhelpful advice ever to people with body dismorphia??
as someone who has lots of insecurities, you saying "wHo CArEs" is really hurtful. instead of blaming people for being insecure, how about we question the root cause of the problem and *why* society puts so much pressure on everyone to look exactly same.
I know right? Like I don't have a problem with people being confident, but here you're saying that face symmetry doesn't matter, but you did the trend. You say that it doesn't matter because no one asks, but then immediately say that you have people coming upto you and complimenting it. It's like a rich person sitting in their million dollar mansion and telling poor people that money doesn't matter.

You will always care the most, though. Realizing that can be liberating
I remember when I was young and Tumblr made us feel bad for not having thigh gaps and obvious hip bones. Can't imagine what kids are going through today, beauty standards are so out of control.
Ugh I remember the thigh gap thing, at least nobody in my school gave af about it
Lol my thick thigh self always wanted a thigh gap but I didn't cry because I never had it. It wasn't that deep. It's sad kids now days are comparing themselves to filters and plastic surgery. Atleast with us we only aspired to be skinny (since that was in at the time) which was more obtainable compared to a tiny waist, big perky butt/breast, full lips,long legs, and flawless poreless skin.
I remember, too. It was like "would you rather eat that pizza or have thigh gaps?" And even when I was an impressionable 14 year old, I was like, "eat the fucking pizza, fuck you."
People with thigh gaps have loose 😺
@@areopagite Lol that doesn't make any sense 😂
Tiktok is honestly unhinged if you come on the app okay you will leave with an insecurity can't we just accept that everyone is built different because diversity ?!!
Yes, and it’s like manipulation because once they make fun of something they bring it back as a trend like eyebags they deemed eye bags as ugly now it’s beautiful like whattt?
girl this video was you saying “i’m pretty and fit the tik tok beauty standards and you don’t but that’s okay” likeee
You really need to stop blaming the victims for the problem. Call out the app call out the culture but it's not the 14 year olds fault. This reeks of negativity I used to think you were more level headed. You just come off as a bully now :/
PERIOD
Yep. Plus her repeatedly showing off her symmetry while saying it doesn’t matter at all. It’s easy for someone who is clearly beautiful to comment on young girls who are insecure
Bully? Dude she's just not beating around the bush. Everyone's kinda at fault here and there's multiple sides. First off, yes a lot of these 14 year olds in my opinion are pretty dumb for not critically analyzing the the source of these standards. Since I was 11, it wasn't so hard to see through the bs and realize that beauty standards just invent insecurities for us to obtain and let stupid corporations profit off of it. If someone isn't rational enough to see through this, they shouldn't have the app. Plain and simple.
And then there's the corporations promoting the beauty standards like it's a business (and it is). And whose the consumers? Fools that just want to fit in and in my opinion, we need to normalize critical thinking and with that, HOPEFULLY people can start to see through this and realize how dumb it is and promote interesting topics instead.

True, she didn't have to promote the whole symmetry thing though personally I'd be considered pretty ugly through the male gaze, the weird thing is that I just don't care lol

I love your videos and all but the "who cares if you have a symmetrical face or not?!" Part got me. YOU fit the bill and the standards. You're conventionally pretty. And the fact you kept mentioning it was just... off putting? Some standards come from way back and looks has such a huge part on society that it's basically impossible to 'not care' about looks.
I'm 14 and I care so much about what people think of me. I'm not even fully developed and I'm insecure of my body already. Appearance is such an insecurity that have accumulated over the years of social media pressure, it's not something someone can just get rid of overnight.

@@CC-rq7zn I know you're trying to make them feel better but just because someone is Korean or a idol doesn't everyone that is has gotten plastic surgery. It also creates a stigma around people who get plastic surgery bc it's not something to be ashamed of.

Also the comment about they look the same and that's boring can come off as racist (I'm asian btw) because no they do not look the same, they only look the "same" if you're not used to seeing east asian features.

Idk why she had to talk about herself having a symmetrical face while talking about how people are insecure
Marilyn Monroe is remembered as one of the most beautiful and attractive women in film and she had a noticeably asymmetric face
I think the so called "objectivity" of those filters and tests is what makes it appealing to people, a lot of people are insecure and have been made to feel ugly so they cling to something "objective" that can confirm you aren't actually ugly
That's exactly what I do and I have no intent to stop lmaoo
Finding out things we're supossed to be ashamed of always seems weird to me.. like, finding out woman felt ashamed for hairy arms to give an example..
Can't control that, it's a natural thing, ffs
Hip dips is another example
or cellulite
I am hairy, that's literally my genetics, my arms are hairy and so my legs. When I was in school (I'm in Uni lmao) my classmates would in some way bully me because of that, they would stick my arm hair with silicone or use tape to try to "wax" my legs
That made me self conscious about it, I grew out of it tho so I'm fine
How old were yall the day you found out having a wide nose yall....bad? I was 7 lol straight confusion
@COLORMIND. i also think that kind of thing is rooted in eurocentric beauty since most of us are living in white countries. since i'm asian, i've been made fun of by white people for having small eyes/monolids, a big nose, and big lips. but eurocentric beauty values big eyes, a thin nose, and well, they used to make fun of ethnic folks for having big lips, but that's become the trend now. i also grew up hating myself for being asian and wanted to be white because those around convinced me that since i'm asian, i'm ugly.

And real life too
my face is genuinely assymetrical and im 17 but its constantly on my mind and makes me feel so bleh
Omfg same, for real
Trust me, no one really notices and even if they do it doesn't matter because having an asymmetrical face doesn't equal ugly or unattractive.
Everybody’s face is asymmetrical to some degree. Also meeting beauty standards set before you is never gonna fulfill you or make you truly happy. It will never make you feel genuinely loved or appreciated or comfortable with who you are. Even people who are perceived to be beautiful aren’t fulfilled or satisfied with just being them because society as a whole has a shallow and weird objectification of beauty that isn’t really enough to have great connections and relationships.
You know who else has an asymmetrical face? Jake Gyllenhaal, yet plenty of people find him attractive.
If it makes you feel better. Perfect symmetry in human faces don’t exist. Nor does it make it more beautiful. There was a photo set of a bunch of celebrities whose sides were photoshopped to perfectly mirror each other. It all looked so creepy and alien
Tiktok is just a huge sea for compliment fishers
It’s the embodiment of those girls that would talk with their friends in class like “I’m so fat” “no you’re not, I am!” “no I am literally fat!” And they are literally athletes
I really love this because basically it’s thigh gaps 5000 x’s over. Some insecure girl made a post on some arbitrary feature that no one would ever think about and now it’s universal to every girl. I get wanting to open up and feel supported and pretty, but instead you just see other people going “omg same!!!” I’m with you. We should just cancel the skeletal system and become amorphous balls of just vibes. Though even then some girl will be like “My vibe isn’t a sphere enough 🥺
and now that ppl r pointing out anything in girls' bodies, u go under a girls tiktoks and ppl r pointing it out so now EVERYONE has to be insecure and aware of it too!!!
My vibe isn’t a sphere💀💀💀
"some insecure girl" you're saying this like you're blaming them but the question is: WHO and WHAT made her insecure? The patriarchal and often mysogynic society.
WHATTT Not having smile lines is seen as a GOOD thing?!!! My 23 year old sister LOVES her smile lines and crows feet wrinkles around her eyes because they show she smiles a lot. She calls them her happy lines 😊
@Ashley L right?! Signs of happiness should not be looked upon as a bad thing!!
I love her videos but this one was not it shes saying that these beauty standrads are bad but then stops her sentences to mention "oh yeah someone mentioned I have a symmetrical face" and then gets back on track
I know someone's going to say that I'm insecure or jealous but I'm not, she's defeating the point of her videos by doing these sorts of things
She is like that in certain topics and I really dislike that. Like the BBL video she was saying all that stuff like, yeah we should love our bodies and then body shamed skinny people and was talking about how she was able to have that type of body without surgery 💀
why was she kind of bragging about her symmetrical face? 🙁
Tik tok is a MESS of a app
For real!!
Can’t wait until it fades out (but highly unlikely)
I mean sure symmetrical faces are cool but I find it just as beautiful (if not more) when people have little details about them that stand out or make their faces unique... it makes it all more interesting
That’s actually exactly why we are naturally drawn to symmetry. It takes less brain power.
“MY FACE IS SO SYMMETRICAL BUT NO ONE CARES OMG DONT WORRY ABOUT NOT HAVING A SYMMETRICAL FACE BUT PEOPLE TELL ME ALL THE TIME I HAVE A SYMMETRICAL FACE HAHA ITS SO DUMB THO”
RIGHT LIKE GIRL PICK A LANE
Exactly
You really could have left out the parts of you flexing your symmetrical face….kind of detracts from the statements you made. Love your videos but this one was hypocritical
Tiktok becomes an extreme echo chamber because of its algorithm. It keeps feeding you similar videos to what you've seen so these kids are seeing these niche opinions or ideas and taking it to heart thinking everyone cares about that thing when it's only people on that side of tiktok.
It’s incredibly niched
Yeah i agree, i think the issue is that the apps are moving us away from showing us the content we *choose* to follow in favor of what we *might* want to follow next. Which is kinda sinister? the natural check against an echo chamber would be the ability to follow a bunch of random people ONCE and just have a diverse feed as a result. Now, no matter how many people i follow, my for you page, my twitter feed, my IG explore page will aggressively pull me towards whatever i just liked. What if i dont want more of the same, what if idk...I WANTED A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE??
Yeah I’m listening to this and it’s like ??? Bc I have never seen the stuff she’s talking about or that is being discussed in the comments on tiktok
I don't think it's the algorithms fault as much as it's portrayed to be. When you interact with certain videos or topics or even hastags that's just what you going to stumble across as result.
@@suki_park that’s what the algorithm is…..
Honestly from my early teens up until now I went from despising my looks to being (unstabley) confident-ish. Tik tok has kinda taken me back a few steps lately, and that’s scary
I understand what you are saying. I feel like the less you care about what other people say about your appearance the better it is for your mental health.
see, this is why i'm on anime tiktok. it's chill. just cosplay, fun povs, edits, and art.
First of all, I enjoy watching your videos.
But I gotta say, it's easy for you to say that it's 'all in people's head' or imply that or generally say stuff like that when you yourself haven't or aren't experiencing these issues. You mentioning that you are and been told to be symmetrical and then literally putting a tiktok of yourself doing that fucked trend just shows that you have no idea what you're actually talking about. People's feelings aren't your opinions. Same with the bbl video. Since you haven't experienced or aren't experiencing that and feeling the way these people feel you don't got a say on that cause if you can't put yourself into such position then how the fuck are you supposed to know how someone feels or what effect it has on them.
Same thing if a person that never experienced or doesn't experience racism was about to explain a person of certain race "racism doesn't happen".
I like you but you gotta check yourself mrs ma'am. Cause you're proving something you came here to disprove it seems like? People having insecurities isn't something that makes them weak either, it makes them human wth
That tik tok said "those weird smile lines" like what? Super weird to let nature be aparently.
Oh sorry I forgot most people think boobs are weird when they naturally sit without a bra.
those "weird smile lines" r so attractive to me and when i noticed i have them i was super happy. i was so shocked seeing that tiktok lmaoo
i hate my "smile lines" tbh, it's so hard to accept urself for who you are ://
Blake Lively has had them forever, and a lot of beautiful people too. It is genetics.
Yes I've had super prominent nasolabial folds since I was around 10. I've always enjoyed them. It means I'm smilely and chatty, what's negative about that?
smile lines are cute
I'm honestly so confused about how you're speaking out against the trend but still did it and put it in the vid lol ....then made remarks like "ohh my face is so symmetrical babies look at me, ohhh no one ever starts a convo about face symmetry, but actually that's happened to me ... lmao what?
This is like the equivalent of people who wanna flex their physique on the gram but put a motivational caption lol
Lol I was thinking the same exact thing
Literally... she’s proving that being symmetrical “matters” 😭
Yeah I was thinking that too 😂 this whole video is like, I validated by that lol
“It doesn’t mean anything ...It just means scientifically you’re deemed more attractive than other people with asymmetrical faces, and that is true” .... “ that’s why babies look at symmetrical faces because they’re like ohhh that’s what a face is supposed to look like” lmaooo!!! Homegirl going off
@Mattie Christine Personally, this is the second video I’ve watched ... I subbed from a previous video I enjoyed .....but as for her core supporters/fans it’s still in the best interest of you guys to speak up on stuff like this. It just comes across disingenuous to me. I was a bit hesitant to post my initial observation but the fact that other people also got the same vibe means its worth addressing.
Normalize holding creators accountable! People tend to forget influencers are just normal people with cameras ... which means they ( like every other person) regardless for their great content ...have aspects of themselves that they could improve on as they evolve in their personal development journey.
I remember being 21 and thinking I was so not attractive at all. Now I look back at pictures of myself from back then and realize how gorgeous I was. I'm turning 44 this year, happy in my life and I'm so thankful I don't even think about shit like that anymore.
"Objective beauty" is literally not a thing because beauty can never be objective

I am actually terrified of what going to come for my lil 8 year old sister, i hope i can be there for her and hopefully she'll except herself for who she is💖
As a teenager, growing up with social media has ruined my mental health. I wish I never downloaded Instagram. My life before was perfectly fine without it
The only “”beauty”” related tiktok trend I’ve seen that doesn’t seem at all toxic is that one where people are like, finding out what era or time in the past their face is from. People are romanticizing their faces and it doesn’t matter if they’re attractive or not, and I think more ppl should do that sort of thing
OOOO I WANNA TRY THAT
I don't think I noticed things like hip dips were an insecurity or that I even had them until a friend mentioned something she saw on social media. And then I saw Rachel Maksy's video about her hip dips and how many women in the comments were talking about theirs. I was partly taken aback at how silly it was to be insecure about having bones and partly fuming by how many pretty women's self-love and confidence are shattered by this.
Like I know I'm beautiful, and I embrace every ounce on my non-binary self, but then other peoples' (mainly male) gazes come into play and pervert my confidence into something that I'm not. And that's what gives me a constant desire to just never be percieved as anything other than a hostile ball of yarn.
Same!! I didn't know hip dip insecurity was a thing and the funny part is I've always thought they were beautiful lmaoo. I was like, wait, am I supposed to be ashamed of mine?? People _are_ silly

parenting done right, you should thank your mom ❤️ it means she cares about you alot.
people don't actually know that the inverted filter is not how they look, your camera in general makes your face look different and inverting it or using the back camera is obviously also gonna look different because it's still a camera, the way you look is how you look in the mirror always remember that
Ahhh gives me hope ! I look werid on camera but decent for the mirror
"There was a lot of body checking on Tumblr but we did call it that. We called it pro ana." I laughed too. I like Tumblr, at the least the side I be on. I feel better about myself when I go on there. My mindset is that everyone is built different and I accept that. Everyone has somethings they like and somethings they dislike. And that's ok.
I’ve been on Tumblr since before Dashcon, and whenever I hear the horror stories I’m like “what the fuck?? I don’t remember that shit.” Everyone talks about how toxic Tumblr was but I don’t remember that! I remember Tumblr BOOSTING my confidence. I never posted pictures or anything but I had friends on there!! Tumblr was a place for all the outcasts and I grew so attached to Tumblr and the communities I was in. I don’t remember it being toxic because I wasn’t on that side of Tumblr. Wild.
I'm so tired of the emphasis society puts on beauty. Like, if you're not pretty, will you die??? Absolutely not, you'll be just fine. If you're gorgeous, will you have a perfect life? No! There's so many more factors that contribute to a life well lived than just your face being symmetrical or if society thinks you're "pretty."
I definitely agree that beauty shouldn't be everything and that society puts too much emphasis on it but on the other hand pretty privilege EXISTS and not being conventionally attractive does actually affect you in some cases
Madisyn: assymetry on your face-
Me: yep have that
Madisyn: hips dips-
Me: got that too
Madisyn: if you have bump on your nose-
Me: Welp, I do
Madisyn: if you have any of these things, how you feeling right now?
Me: I'm feeling pretty 🥰
period sis
Me but with acne !
Duh cause all those are gorgeous. I do not notice symmetry at all so I guess I don’t have an opinion about that one but the other two are the most beautiful things I know!
If a person is pretty, it doesn't mean they are a good person. They can be monsters
My opinion stretch marks are sexy Idk why people make having those are a bad thing I know that’s not related to the video topic but love stretch marks on women
I used to be underweight so I didn't have prominent stretch marks but when I started to gain weight i got them. I honestly saw it as something healthy and not ugly :) I don't see why people have a problem with them tbh.
They can be soooo beautiful too! Those booty stripes are a work of art
Ikr? some people have talked to me about things I can do to lighten them, and I'm always like... Ok?... stretch marks don't bother me at all, I think they look fine (they look like those marks the waves leave on the sand)
I actually do too. I have pretty light stretch marks on my hips and I love them even wish they were more obvious
YEEES STRETCH MARKS ARE SEXY AF
The most concering thing is that this feels like those weird incel forums where they post the reasons they are "beta - males" and others just feed into it making it into a toxic mess. If the fact that tiktok is becoming more and more incel-forumy is not concering I don't know what is...
PREEEEACH
Hip dips look so good tho ?????
Fr yall look at too many pictures of girls wit dips wearin unflattering clothes sayin oohh I dont look good, I wouldn't look good either if I didnt wear the right clothes for my figure. Have yall ever seen someone wit hip dips wit no pants ?? How bout in a cute pair of jeans?? That shits an extra curve, it's like an accent on ur body. Its beautiful.
ppl on tiktok are some of the most SHALLOW group of humans i’ve ever seen
