Psychologist: Comparing yourself to Georgina Rodríguez can harm self-esteem

A psychologist says that even when internet users know images are edited, comparing themselves to celebrities like Georgina Rodríguez can harm self-esteem, as influencers are presented as relatable, intensifying the comparison and internalizing unattainable expectations. The expert, Jhoanne Hansen, notes that algorithms amplify this issue by repeatedly showing certain body types, making them seem normal and familiar. This constant exposure can increase dissatisfaction and create a false impression that such standards are common or achievable. The debate was sparked by photos of Rodríguez, 32, on vacation with Cristiano Ronaldo, which drew criticism about her body. The discussion highlights ongoing aesthetic pressure, even for women already considered to fit conventional beauty ideals.
