It seems that since the advent of social media platforms such as snap-chat and instagram, our ego requires more input to yield the same output. We are creating illusions to validate the object of interest. Not everyone partakes in taking "selfies," but it is a huge problems that will inevitably yield consequences in the future....For if we exert more energy to recognize imperfections, then it follows that we will try to compensate in some form to create an illusion. Also, it follows that we will realize the imperfections of other's to a higher degree. It's quite natural to attempt to change other's at the expense of changing ourselves for the better. Therefore, it may come to no surprise that we have the propensity to expect too much in regards to character/personality, exc.
Now, trying to hide imperfections only has a masking effect on the person. By observing the extremes of society too often and continually using filtering to create an illusion, we attempt to converge towards the extremes. Yet by doing so, we are creating a larger gap between the imagined and real perceptions, which facilitates a greater dampening effect in regards to our insecurities. Now, suppose you are subjected to events x1, x2,....., xn over a time span t1, which yields a high degree of satisfaction. Further, suppose at some later period, you are subjected to new events y1,y2,....,yn over time span t2, which yields a low degree of satisfaction. In between these event sets is the transition zone....The larger the gap between levels of satisfaction between sets, the larger the dampening effect in respect to self esteem. There does exists multiple scenarios, however, that minimize the dampening effect, and it differs between individuals. Thus, projecting our ego/false image towards the extremes will only cause us to become addicted because the inevitable dampening effect is of higher magnitude.
