Be honest. If you put photos of yourself on social media, do you filter them?

Ok so everyone I know my age (35-40 bracket) looks amazing on Instagram / Facebook.

I point my phone camera at myself and my goodness I look like sh1t!

Blotchy skin... I just can’t explain it I look hideous.

The sad thing is it means I have next to no photos of myself and DC as I look so shit I genuinely get upset that if I died or something DC would have literally one or two photos of me

I don’t think I’m bad looking, and indeed pre-kids I was told I was pretty.

Without meaning to sound vain, there’s people I know in real life who I would say I’m as good looking as, but they look great on Insta / FB and I look crap.

So, is everyone filtering photos?
What filter do you use because I need it!!

Does anyone have a Samsung Galaxy S9? I've just got one and took a selfie with my dog to check out the camera and I swear to God I don't even look like a real person in the picture. I look CGI or something. Anyone know if there are built in filters on that phone? I've looked in the settings and can't find anything.

The whole filtering nonsense is pretty sad really, and just more stupid pressure on people (mainly women) that they have to look this certain way instead of just being as they are.

Oh, and forgot to answer the question. I don't filter pictures, because like everyone else has said, the people who know you know that you look nothing like that in real life anyway, so I don't see the point. It's not fooling anyone.

I absolutely hate that its encouraging false images of everyone, that noone can live up to.i can say I just dont want to play that gane, but what about my teenage girls.
