 (Nick Galifianakis for The Post) | Adapted from an online discussion. Dear Carolyn: A lot of my friends use filters or editing software before they post pictures on social media. It doesn't bother me too much, but I do think it's kind of funny. I wonder what is the point of editing your picture if people are going to see what you look like in real life? Well, recently a friend posted a picture of the two of us. It was clear to me that she edited the picture. My skin looked amazing! My eyes looked greener, and I looked a lot younger. I got a lot of compliments on my picture and that bothered me. I think I look great for my age (mid-40s), but the picture is not what I look like now. It's more a reflection of what I looked like 5-10 years ago. It's silly, but I feel like participating in this sort of thing contributes to women having unrealistic beauty standards. I don't want anyone to think I am ashamed of aging or that I am trying to present a fake image. I want to ask her to delete the picture, but then I will have to explain why. I know she will not like my reasons. Am I being ridiculous? — Fakebooked |
