I don’t follow any, but yes, they are. Once in a while I see something pop up about their daily schedule or morning routine, and it makes me laugh. They have no idea what it is like to work a real job where you’re lucky if you ever get to log off your computer and it’s daylight.
Pro
Agreed!
Its also their "problems", that couldn't be more first world problems, when they're trying "to be real" and complaining about random small issues

I actually intentionally follow some influencers that promote saving, investment, minimalism etc.
I too felt bad if I couldn’t get that Gucci bag or if I couldn’t buy a new wardrobe Everytime trends changed but I realised that it’s wasteful and at 23 I should be focused on saving and setting myself up for success rather than going broke trying to look rich; I think once that clicks for someone, it’s easier to be comfortable

Thats a great idea! I'll look for similar accounts to follow and would love some recommendations too! Haha maybe I can trick the IG algorithm that way too
Yeah agreed, the constant spending and "hauls" are excessive
Lol absolutely. For ex, I became a first time mom this year in June and an “influencer” had their baby too same time. Honestly, looking at her “perfect” baby I was so depressed bc I was having sleepless nights feeding my baby and just feeling bleh overall. I think my hormones were on an overdrive to realize that what they show on Instagram is like 1% of their life lol unfollowed and stopped comparing
Result: much happier

I'm sorry you felt that way, but glad you were able to break away from it and be happy!
Also, good to hear I'm not the only one impacted by this!

Influencers?

That's great! I should definitely unfollow more and maybe take a step back from social media altogether.
Yep completely agree with that!
yep, had to unfollow a bunch this year
Pro
I did unfollow some, might need to do some more now
Yeah. I’ve been going to an art festival for 10 years (before pandemic) and the increase of influencers there was one of the reasons I stopped going. You’d be wandering interacting with the art pieces, and then some IG chic would be climbing all over it for an hour with her photographer and making everyone else just wait without acknowledging how rude it was.

Ugh thats the worst! I see so many people like that at restaurants and places and its pretty annoying. That sounds super rude though!
