A dog, a bunny, a banana... who are you really?
Filters were introduced to Snapchat in September of 2015 and became huge epidemic within a matter of months. Snap filter were within popular culture and took a toll on many people’s self-confidence including my own. These new additions allowed you have effects on your face weather it was a beauty filter or a bunny filter. Besides the funny ones, these filters made you look 10 times better than reality making them common things to use so people feel good looking.
Do snap filters have a negative or positive impact on my self-confidence?
I’ve never had self-confidence and I’ve never liked to take pictures of myself even to this day. When the filters came out I began taking more pictures because they made me look and feel better about myself. When I saw the pictures that other people took of me, it threw me off guard and upset me because of the affect the snap filters had on my confidence. Without them, I didn’t feel pretty and made me not want pictures taken of me if I didn’t have a filter. Ever since the filter feature came out and my confidence dropped lower than it was before, I've been trying to build that back up still to this day.
