I’m surprised to see so little distinction between what causes this, to help with addressing the issues separately and proactively: the need to curate your personality (which university applications seem to have cornered for a while), body image (which fashion magazines have been leveraging for a while), or pseudo-social relations that break validation circles (which seems new, at least the apparent intimacy of it, unless you count some personality on TV and radio). I think there are approaches to handle each aspect, many of which are never recommended in debate about this, seemingly because people want single, absolute solution: * I have no idea if anyone I follow on Twitter, or here too, has perfect teeth, a thigh gap, or whatever is the latest unrealistic goal; teenagers could be asked to use text-only media or one without humans presented as attractive: Reddit has a rule about selfie for instance. * social media companies can choose to let you see more friends over people with large audiences; I remember that was a big debate at Instagram when I worked there (and a couple of brilliant people left because the decision went for a stickier audience, slowly slipping towards pros over friends). There’s definitely an appetite to revert that decision.
