Snapchat Made Me Hate My Face!

It is natural to compare ourselves to other people especially when we are immersed in the daily habit of using social media. According to the social comparison theory, we are more likely to compare ourselves to someone who we think is better looking and this negatively impacts our own self-evaluation. However, with the birth of Snapchat, we are now comparing ourselves to the better looking, extremely modified, versions of ourselves. These filters can become addictive and downright damaging to our self-concept and self esteem.
