The Dangers of Comparing Yourself to Others on Social Media: Influencers Reveal “Posed Vs. Unposed” Photos

It’s often said that we should accept and love our bodies for what they are. It can be challenging to do this when we only see perfect bodies and flawless skin on social media. These influencers are able to show their real bodies Vs. their posed photos. They are clear in their message: Your body is perfect just as it is!

Sucked In

Bree Lenehan is an amazing Instagrammer who decided to share the truth behind her stunning photos with the world. Bree, a 26-year-old content creator, started a series called “Real Me,” in which she showed two photos side by side.

One shows how her body looks when she spends a lot of effort to get it in the perfect shape. She also shows how her body looks when she just relaxes and lets her body be.

Beautiful Marks

Bree is a long-standing advocate for body image. She emphasizes that it’s practically impossible for human bodies to appear perfect. Many of her photos show the marks she has on her skin.

She doesn’t hide her scars or pimples from her huge audience of over 720K Instagram followers! She also shows how influencers can hide their marks by strategically placing their clothes above them.

A Thumb

Bree goes beyond showing how influencers can create the perfect look by manipulating lighting and angles. Bree also screams at the notion that social media stars live perfect lives.

She does her best to show that her makeup is not always perfected and she’s not always dressed up to the nines. Everybody has days when they are tired, hormonal, or simply not up for the effort of looking like a model.

Bumps and Lumps

She also emphasizes the importance of posing and what difference it can make. The way she flexes her body to the left gives her an hourglass shape. Bree is relaxed in her posture on the right.

It is obvious how much it makes a difference in her bottom shape. She notices the natural bumps in her body when she relaxes. She reminds her followers not to force their bodies into following a particular trend.
