This is a YouTube video titled "Stop comparing yourself to influencers" containing a monologue by Beverley Simpson recorded in January 2024. Beverley discusses the impact of social media on self-perception, advising viewers to be mindful of the types of Instagram accounts they follow and to avoid unrealistic comparisons, especially across different age groups.
And that's where I start to just ask them, like, what are you looking at on Instagram? Like, what kind of accounts are you following? Are you looking at like 24 year old bikini models? Are you looking at like fitness influencers all day long? Are you actually looking at educational, helpful, age appropriate accounts for you? Like if you're a 55 year old woman, stop looking at 23 year old fitness models. Like stop thinking that you're going to be able to mimic their day, like, there's no way you'll be able to do it.
