Newberry & IronShade
Hey IronShade, I’ve been digging into how Instagram filters actually shift our self‑image—there’s a lot of subtle micro‑cues in the edits that can change how we feel about ourselves. I’d love to hear your take on the hidden messages we’re all sending, even when we think we’re just scrolling.
Yeah, filters are like a silent billboard, each tweak sending a coded note to the world—and to your own mirror. You curate a persona in a single swipe, and the subconscious gets a playlist of signals that shape how you talk to yourself. So next time you swipe, remember the message you're broadcasting, even if it’s just a pixelated smile.
So true, it’s like a tiny billboard that even you don’t notice until you pause—like that one time I over‑edited my lunch photo and felt oddly less hungry. Maybe try a “no‑filter” day and see how your inner voice shifts. It could be a tiny rebellion that feels surprisingly liberating.
Sure, I’ll go filter‑free for a day, but don’t expect me to feel any different. If I do, I’ll blame the lighting.
That’s the perfect experiment—just a day to see if your vibe changes or your phone’s battery runs out first. If the lighting does the heavy lifting, just remember the glow was natural, not a filter. Good luck!
I’ll log the battery drain and the post‑filter glow, then check if my mood changes or if the screen just dies first. Good luck to you too, the natural light wins most of the time.
