What if we stopped to think that culture where women are free to show off their beauty, and where culture celebrates top 5%, is perhaps determeintal to 95%. I'd be stressed too if I was part of contest where I was losing and whole life depended on it.

lol, I knew social media was going to be mentioned as a factor.

I will say that it's hard to even discuss issues like this because it brings up a lot of... complicated territory that takes nuance and care to navigate.

>lol, I knew social media was going to be mentioned as a factor.

Wait, are you surprised? It's been proven times over social media has a very negative impact on your mental health. I experienced it myself and only been on the way out since the spring.

>It's been proven times over social media has a very negative impact on your mental health.

Can you provide any citations for this because I'm not aware of any proof of this?

There are certainly studies which report a correlation between mental health and the time spent on social media but none that I'm aware of which prove that social media negatively pacts mental health vs poor mental health causes people to spend more time on social media.
