Psychology

In your experience, what are the dominant beauty ideals where you live, and how do they affect people’s self‑esteem, identity, or mental well‑being? Do you feel these standards create pressure, motivation, comparison, or something else entirely within your community? And are you noticing any shifts in how people think about beauty—especially with social media, globalization, or changing cultural values? If you’re comfortable, I’d love to hear personal experiences or observations about how beauty norms influence the psychology of individuals or society around you.
