Appearance Anxiety

-

Human pursuit of the best appearance has continued unabated since ancient times. Long before the emergence of the beauty industry and cosmetic surgical procedures, many made the greatest efforts to look good.

Social media and the internet have gradually unified standards of beauty, which could be a dangerous trend if more and more people try to look better, resulting in mental and physical trauma. People get anxious if they don’t meet the standards of what they want to be, and for some, what they achieve is never enough. This behavior is obviously pathologic­al. A good appearance is important, but understand­ing what really looks good matters more.
