Looking through social feeds is all silly buffoonery until you begin checking out yourself through friendly channels. You unconsciously compare yourself and the ideal life-as projected in the posts of the big names, companions, or your associates, and afterward, the sky comes tumbling down! It causes you to feel uncertain, and you become more extreme on yourself.
We frequently devote a lot of time, certainty, or ability to self-perception or appearance. On account of the unreasonable body norms much of the time lectured by society, we are dazed into accepting that certainty is the result of an ideal body. These negative assumptions and ideal body norms have been engraved far somewhere down in our psyches causing large numbers of us to feel unsatisfied with ourselves.
It’s no secret that the fashion industry has been promoting unrealistic beauty standards and this has badly affected society in terms of body image. We see those beautiful models, dressed in pretty clothes, with makeup by an entire team of people to make them look the way we see them and we often compare our bodies to them, which is wrong on many levels. Promoting body positivity in the fashion industry is one of the most important social steps that we need to take in terms of creating awareness.
In recent years, we have started to see some changes in the industry as well. Many big brands are promoting body positivity and are standing up to the quote “Everybody is a beautiful body”. They have been promoting plus-size models, black models, models with various skin conditions and heights. This has been a very positive step from the industry in promoting body positivity but we still have a long way to go.
