"Moon face" being pushed as something to be insecure about is fucking stupid. The amount of art pieces created portraying the moon as a beautiful person with a round face shows how loved that feature has been throughout generations. The moon is an icon of beauty, people shaming or pointing out people for having a moon face are just jealous or using their own insecurities to bring you down
The thing about insecurities is that trend change. Round faces are historically considered desirable as it was viewed as feminine. In ten years or even travel outside your country and the beauty standard would be different
The first time I heard about moon face was when researching endometriosis and PCOS came up too. I read some articles about it and it’s like really serious. It’s a shame that people are taking it and making so many AFAB people insecure about something they can’t control … and taking it even worse to making it about just having a round face??? People are getting stupider by the minute 😖
Moon face was just a head shaped thing oh ur head shaped like the moon aka Natalie Nunn but its just a joke most of the time people making up terms for their insecurities like if u got a big head then ur head is big ok and move on🤦🏾♂️
this comment made me really happy. I have constantly been insecure about the roundness of my face to the point that it led me to an ED when I was 15-16. I'm still working on being okay with it but I've gotten better over the years, especially after deleting tiktok and instagram and finding a very supportive and loving boyfriend.

As someone that has a cleft lip and palate, a facial difference that affects my nose and mouth (making it so I AM part of the population with thoughts on nose gaps) none of this matters. The thing that you’re worried about, most people probably don’t even notice. As long as you’re able to function and live a healthy life, that’s all that truly matters.

I am one of the biggest victims of the tiktok insecurities, its gotten so bad i had to drop out of school because i was crying every morning because of how much i hate my appearance.
I used to be in a very similar situation, had to drop out of high school halfway through my first year because I was so deeply insecure and every day only weighed heavier on my mental health. I'm a bit older now and it's taken a lot of work, but it gets better. It gets so much better and you're doing great.
That is so sad. I went through something similar and I fell victim to someone who love bombed me and went on to abuse me for years after because of my low self esteem. I'm older and wiser now. And if you're looking for advice or validation or anything like that then here it is. You're more beautiful than you know and someday you'll regret every hour you spent feeling like you're not. And besides that, if you looked perfect, that still wouldn't stop you from feeling sad and vulnerable and rejected sometimes because those are normal feelings that everyone gets sometimes. Love yourself, trust yourself, and take care of yourself because those are 3 things that, whether you believe it or not, you CAN choose to do, and you will never ever regret doing
The term "vuvuzela arms" was created by Keara Sullivan, the woman whose tik tok is in the video. It wasn't meant to mean anything, its was a parody of those terms created by tik tok and later people added their own meaning to the term. 4 days ago she made a video explaining it all.
do y'all remember "legging legs"? because i remember about a week before it starting being a thing, someone made a video making fun of body image trends, and came up with "legging legs" as a fake trend that encapsulates the problem. and then it became an actual body image trend. i was so lost because i though people were playing along with the bit and then it was very obvious that they were not.
Imo I’m completely average looking and idgaf I’m completely fine with being ugly if someone calls me or a specific feature of mine ugly. Honestly if ppl were to just accept/get over their non existent insecurities (ik that almost impossible) they would be at least 50% happier 😭
You know what *i'm* insecure about? Failing to recognise how my actions are affecting others, being confused on why I get such a violent reaction, and then pushing that person away because (with lack of explanation) I just assume they are an asshole or hate me, ultimately self-sabotaging myself without even knowing. Not fucking- vienetta ice cream arms or whatever.
fuuuuuck that hits hard right now i’m literally in a situation like that as i speak and it’s terrifying because i genuinely don’t know if i’m the problem or not
@@Artificer_ the best thing I can suggest it to stop caring. yeah I know you cant just click your fingers and woah, its all fixed! but the more you worry about slipping up or being an issue, the more likely you are to be even if you weren't before, self-fulfilled prophecy if you will. you start subconsciously letting it control your actions. what if i'm annoying? this thing i'm doing right now is probably annoying, i'd ought to stop.. and you might not even be aware of it. at the end of the day, whether this person is your s/o, best friend or just a random co-worker, you can't *make* them like you. be yourself, and if they don't like that, what else can you do? if you try and alter yourself for someone else, the people who like you for just being you might lose interest. it's a lose-lose really, and I know the whole ''be yourself'' has been so overused and its usually coming from a place of ignorance, i'd say its genuinely a good piece of advice in situations like this. on the same note though, don't stop caring to the point where you just become an asshole, obviously.
“vuvuzela arms” was literally a joke example made up to talk about this phenomenon that then got turned into ANOTHER new insecurity 😭😭 so many layers to that
You make feel like child who sat down on reading time and I’m getting anxiously waiting for applesauce but end of it I learned more about the universe and I forgot about the applesauce the treat was your words that are swirling around and swimming around my head I nod. But then I write an essay about my own opinion about it or something like I didn’t know that was an option to think like that
I saw that vuvuzela tiktok you showed and i thought the person had made it up as a silly example and nOW YOU'RE TELLING ME PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY TAKING IT SERIOUSLY
Nobody is taking it seriously. It’s a made up jokey example that other people that don’t like these fake insecurities thought was real. Nobody is insecure about vuvuzela arms because it didn’t reach those spaces.
i like “nose gaps”, it helps make someone’s face distinctive. When ur drawing a portrait and u mess it up or the space between the nose and the mouth it makes the face look completely different. So i like them a lot.
I also have this, and it really annoys me that people think it's okay to call it that. I have a cleft chin, therefore you get to compair my face to an ass? It was especially bad for my self confidence as a child being told I have a "butt chin".
These 'insecurities' are mind boggling. I have insecurities like everyone else, but I try to remind myself that my face is an amalgamation of features so many people before me thought were attractive.
i genuinely WAS insecure about my nose gap in like 2018 bc i used to stare in the mirror a lot from being insecure ab other things, & then a few years later when people actually started talking about it for the first time (that i had ever heard) i realized it wasn’t just me noticing it & then it was cringe to be insecure about it if other ppl have it too, so i stopped😭 also i got a septum to hide it years before ppl started talking about it & then i genuinely forgot about it after my septum until ppl started bringing it up on themselves
10:56 went to the 7/11 for opinions, crackhead Joe fully agreed that vuvuzela arms were distressing, while crackhead Greg believed that his sister in law had had surgery on said arms. Steve however held on to my phone for an uncomfortably long time doing research, until my mom called and he gave it back saying “it’s for you”.

When you explained what "vuvuzela arms" were or whatever I burst out laughing... I'm a 3D artist, and when I make a model for a human, I literally start by extruding the wrist from the shoulder and SCALING IT DOWN so the entire length of the arm has a basis of getting smaller towards the wrist. It's so normal it's just standard practice for any character that's not massively stylised (like one of those orcs or trolls or something where the hands are bigger than the head lmao)
I'm an avid tiktok user. I try to stay the f**k off of "beauty" tiktok and thank god my fyp is filled with actual relatable content and animation memes 😭‼️
@@sarahwoohoo the perfect being, thats what tiktok wants to create. An alien 👽 not a human. Smooth skin that never wrinkles, perfect with no spots, scars or even sun damage.
Thinking about vuvuzela arms makes me think of an alternate universe instead of trying to make vuvuzela people remove their arm bones to become a rubberhose "trend"
“Tear spots” may be linked to irritation/allergies try changing your mascara/shadow if they bother you, I’m just saying for health reasons… aesthetically they are more than fine!!! 💜
Guys, do not invest in being conventionally attractive, invest in being “ugly” (aka not fitting into the beauty standards). I need to see this tiktok insecurity shit crumble. Also because I think you are already pretty
The older I get the more I have accepted that the body is the way it is and it’s going to do what it’s going to do. I’m going to keep aging and I can worry about all the ways in which I could be more attractive, or I can try to stay healthy and enjoy my damn life. That said, I still want a breast reduction for more physical comfort 🤷🏻♀️
Yes! I’m 42 & I just want to hug everyone in their teens and 20s who’s growing up with social media & all of its ridiculous new ways to make you hate yourself😭 As much as I kinda hate getting older sometimes, the lack of f**ks I now give is AMAZING.
Apparently I have “moving scalp” meaning my hair is harder to do than a normal head ?? I saw a bunch of stylist complaining about how hard it is to part and I cried.
oh! I have this too. I didn’t know it was an insecurity, I thought it was a fact of life for some hahaha. My mom and I both have it, so I never thought it was weird :)
@easiersaidwithmeg I'm not trying to do anything for you. I was just relating and saying it's incredibly common and normal. Merely a type of scalp. If a stylist can't part a moving scalp, they are not a very good stylist lol.
@easiersaidwithmeg Relating stories to people with similar experiences is a common tactic to normalize something and make people feel better about themselves.
I had to google images of “vuvuzailia arms” because I genuinely had no idea what on earth they were talking about GIRL THAT’S WHAT AN ARM IS SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE 🤦♀️🤦♀️
I have strawberry skin too. I really like it because I love strawberries. They’re my favorite fruit and my favorite flavor of candy. I am what I eat. 😊
I know nothing about where the term 'septum arms' come from but i s2g if its bc people with septum piercings tend to be both confident enough to show their arms and larger than mainstream beauty standards encourage... im gonna be so flattered
If it were possible for MY eyes to roll to the back of my head as i begin to levitate several feet off of the ground as though a supernatural even was occuring, it would be caused by the sheer amount of confusion that posessed my brain when i heard you say the words "Nose Gap". My eyes would be rolled back, my mouth a gape, shoulders shruggin, and my brows would be furrowed so mothafuckin hard im pretty sure that imagery im going for shows a vein on the side of my head.
You look like a sim in the best way. Like you’d be one of the sims I’d spend hours designing and work rlly hard on their aspirations anyways ur rlly pretty
Vuvuzuela arms and the septum thing are literally just the triceps muscle existing. Insane that there are people literally shaming other for having a musculature everybody has and is crucial for lifting anything. And all of this for the profit insentive, because let's all be so for real right now, those influencers making that stuff up are making a killing since only they know the remedy for something they invented.
Isn't this basically a redo of how looksmaxxers analyze every minute detail of someone's face and Quantify how attractive they are or whatever they did
i was never insecure about some things before tik tok. i have hip dips, cellulite, stretch marks, and strawberry legs and before tik tok i never noticed these things but now they’re some of my biggest insecurities. i’ve gotten better about not letting people on the internet make me insecure but i used to obsess over these things and how to get rid of them and it made me miserable. i planned on saving up money to get procedures to “fix” these “problems” and i would never wear anything even remotely revealing out of fear that people would judge me for the way i looked. thankfully i got help and never actually got surgery to change anything about myself. i used the money i saved to buy myself some cute clothes :)
The “eyebrow blindness” videos I’ve been seeing like… some times the examples they show are kind of a previous unfortunate make up choice, but most of the time, they’re just normal pictures with normal looking eyebrows and I can’t even see a difference or understand the video.
Girl one of the trends I came across (thankfully it was from a stitch) was headphone waist???? Where ppl put their headphones on their waist to see if their waist is snatched LIKE HUH. I had to close the app and walked outside my house after that💀
Just to add, some people are mean PERIOD they just are, and engagement algorithms just enable them, there's also more kids and teens than ever, and they're messy af, also in my own experience nothing bad ever comes from ignoring straight men from ages 18 to 25, it's a healthy thing for all involved. Also just try to conjure five layers of cynicism to any interaction online.
i had my suspicions about the vuvuzela arm trend being fake and totally forgot to mention that in the video 🙃 the rest of my point still stands but i just wanted to clarify that i’m not in the dark about that!

i genuinely WAS insecure about my nose gap in like 2018 bc i used to stare in the mirror a lot from being insecure ab other things, & then a few years later when people actually started talking about it for the first time (that i had ever heard) i realized it wasn’t just me noticing it & then it was cringe to be insecure about it if other ppl have it too, so i stopped😭
also i got a septum to hide it years before ppl started talking about it & then i genuinely forgot about it after my septum until ppl started bringing it up on themselves
I got a septum piercing for the same reason lmao
What the frick is a nose gap?
10:56 went to the 7/11 for opinions, crackhead Joe fully agreed that vuvuzela arms were distressing, while crackhead Greg believed that his sister in law had had surgery on said arms. Steve however held on to my phone for an uncomfortably long time doing research, until my mom called and he gave it back saying “it’s for you”.
Thank you for your research 🙏
Tiktok made me insecure of my fingers, idek how that happened
Wait no cuz same actually-
wurld jumpscare
Cyn pfp spotted. Quick question: How do you feel about murder drone episode 8 finale? 🤔

Hai cyn :3

When you explained what "vuvuzela arms" were or whatever I burst out laughing... I'm a 3D artist, and when I make a model for a human, I literally start by extruding the wrist from the shoulder and SCALING IT DOWN so the entire length of the arm has a basis of getting smaller towards the wrist. It's so normal it's just standard practice for any character that's not massively stylised (like one of those orcs or trolls or something where the hands are bigger than the head lmao)
I'm an avid tiktok user. I try to stay the f**k off of "beauty" tiktok and thank god my fyp is filled with actual relatable content and animation memes 😭‼️
me, an alien, not having any of these lol no nose no nose gap. stick arms. big cute eyes, positive canthal tilt.
bro what 😭😭
@@sarahwoohoo the perfect being, thats what tiktok wants to create. An alien 👽 not a human. Smooth skin that never wrinkles, perfect with no spots, scars or even sun damage.
a looksmaxxer has infiltrated
at this point everyone should just shed their physical forms so this stops being a thing
Who is coming up with these names, I want them fired
Thinking about vuvuzela arms makes me think of an alternate universe instead of trying to make vuvuzela people remove their arm bones to become a rubberhose "trend"
Honestly my TikTok algorithm is so clean that my FYP is just people making fun of these ridiculous beauty standards
I always liked my "tear scars" becuse it makes me look a little like im wearing eyeliner
Tear scars are kind cute in a way idk 😭
vuvuzela arms were originally brought up as a talking point about these weird insecurities
0:14 OURAN MENTIONED
What
(Yea bro I was deff half asleep when typing 😭😭)
@@YaBoy_Yousef dawg how was that rude
@@YaBoy_YousefOne month late but what are you on about bro 😭
@@sakyakii nvm yea I was waffling
I’m ready 😏😏😏 0:53
HELP THAT TIMESTAMP WAS AN ACCIDENT
Was it?????
What was the timestamp you meant
im so vocaloid pilled that when i read vuvuzela i didnt even know that was a real thing and thought of the vocaloid producer😭😭😭
"tear scars" sounds like bullshit but also if its referring to what i think it is ive always found it pretty lmfao
PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER!!!!!!
Your Mt. Rushmore is my Mt. Rushmore 🚘🦔 🐻 🐴
“Tear spots” may be linked to irritation/allergies try changing your mascara/shadow if they bother you, I’m just saying for health reasons… aesthetically they are more than fine!!! 💜
i literally never knew what a vuvuzela arm was until today like wtf 😭
Guys, do not invest in being conventionally attractive, invest in being “ugly” (aka not fitting into the beauty standards). I need to see this tiktok insecurity shit crumble. Also because I think you are already pretty
The older I get the more I have accepted that the body is the way it is and it’s going to do what it’s going to do. I’m going to keep aging and I can worry about all the ways in which I could be more attractive, or I can try to stay healthy and enjoy my damn life. That said, I still want a breast reduction for more physical comfort 🤷🏻♀️
Yes! I’m 42 & I just want to hug everyone in their teens and 20s who’s growing up with social media & all of its ridiculous new ways to make you hate yourself😭 As much as I kinda hate getting older sometimes, the lack of f**ks I now give is AMAZING.
Apparently I have “moving scalp” meaning my hair is harder to do than a normal head ?? I saw a bunch of stylist complaining about how hard it is to part and I cried.
oh! I have this too. I didn’t know it was an insecurity, I thought it was a fact of life for some hahaha. My mom and I both have it, so I never thought it was weird :)
@@nagisa9147 is that supposed to make me feel better or
@easiersaidwithmeg I'm not trying to do anything for you. I was just relating and saying it's incredibly common and normal. Merely a type of scalp. If a stylist can't part a moving scalp, they are not a very good stylist lol.
@@nagisa9147 it came off like sorry you have that insecurity I don’t at all and never have since childhood! Ha! But okay
@easiersaidwithmeg Relating stories to people with similar experiences is a common tactic to normalize something and make people feel better about themselves.
I had to google images of “vuvuzailia arms” because I genuinely had no idea what on earth they were talking about GIRL THAT’S WHAT AN ARM IS SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE 🤦♀️🤦♀️
I'm already rolling at, vuvuzela arms😂😂😂😂whattt the video isn't even playing yet
I will always love you adding random Bojack clips in
I have strawberry skin too. I really like it because I love strawberries. They’re my favorite fruit and my favorite flavor of candy. I am what I eat. 😊
lol i love strawberries and that sounds beautiful
These thumbnails are making me jealous
I know nothing about where the term 'septum arms' come from but i s2g if its bc people with septum piercings tend to be both confident enough to show their arms and larger than mainstream beauty standards encourage... im gonna be so flattered
If it were possible for MY eyes to roll to the back of my head as i begin to levitate several feet off of the ground as though a supernatural even was occuring, it would be caused by the sheer amount of confusion that posessed my brain when i heard you say the words "Nose Gap". My eyes would be rolled back, my mouth a gape, shoulders shruggin, and my brows would be furrowed so mothafuckin hard im pretty sure that imagery im going for shows a vein on the side of my head.
Honestly TikTok has a few real gems. But they are buried in a mountain of toxic radioactive waste.
My mother kept pointing out my strawberry legs & I was insecure ✨🧚🏽♀️
Or if I shaved my legs she would be upset that she didn't do it 💀
when you pulled out the chainsaw man plush i got scared bc i had the exact same one right behind me
i love when people make anti-anti aging tiktoks
OMG I WAS JUST THINKING THE SAME?!?! LOLL IT'S JUST LIKE THE FEARS = DEVILS!! 7:55
omg ouran intro gave me flashbacks tysm
i dont have insecurities, nothing gets past my laser system of detection, im very secure. and armed.
You look like a sim in the best way. Like you’d be one of the sims I’d spend hours designing and work rlly hard on their aspirations anyways ur rlly pretty
Everytime I get insecure I’ll just think about chainsaw man lmao
Vuvuzela arms were a joke made about their being too many insecuritys
Vuvuzuela arms and the septum thing are literally just the triceps muscle existing. Insane that there are people literally shaming other for having a musculature everybody has and is crucial for lifting anything. And all of this for the profit insentive, because let's all be so for real right now, those influencers making that stuff up are making a killing since only they know the remedy for something they invented.
I have tearscar but I love them bc they’re perfect eyeliner guidelines
6:25 I DIED HELP maybe next June the camera men will come on out :(
I'm so glad that the only thing involving my body that I worry/think about constantly is if/when my ovarian cysts will rupture.
It's not easy being a hater 24/7. But I was born for this
Isn't this basically a redo of how looksmaxxers analyze every minute detail of someone's face and Quantify how attractive they are or whatever they did
i don't need tiktok for my insecurities!
I've been insecure about my long ass philtrum forever but I didn't know people were calling it "nose gaps" lol
bro I had to skip through 5 minutes of yapping to get to the first part, vuvuzela arms
day 7 procrastinating my final project, I'm binging your video essays. hate that I love you sm
I love your camera quality, it's so cozy
Fun fact: A small "nose gap" is a sign of fetal alcohol syndrome
i was never insecure about some things before tik tok. i have hip dips, cellulite, stretch marks, and strawberry legs and before tik tok i never noticed these things but now they’re some of my biggest insecurities. i’ve gotten better about not letting people on the internet make me insecure but i used to obsess over these things and how to get rid of them and it made me miserable. i planned on saving up money to get procedures to “fix” these “problems” and i would never wear anything even remotely revealing out of fear that people would judge me for the way i looked. thankfully i got help and never actually got surgery to change anything about myself. i used the money i saved to buy myself some cute clothes :)
The “eyebrow blindness” videos I’ve been seeing like… some times the examples they show are kind of a previous unfortunate make up choice, but most of the time, they’re just normal pictures with normal looking eyebrows and I can’t even see a difference or understand the video.
TikTok made me even more insecure than I already am like WTF why is it inventing new body parts for you to care about
Help why is tiktok so crazy
Girl one of the trends I came across (thankfully it was from a stitch) was headphone waist???? Where ppl put their headphones on their waist to see if their waist is snatched LIKE HUH. I had to close the app and walked outside my house after that💀
lmao the goat simulator clip
Just to add, some people are mean PERIOD they just are, and engagement algorithms just enable them, there's also more kids and teens than ever, and they're messy af, also in my own experience nothing bad ever comes from ignoring straight men from ages 18 to 25, it's a healthy thing for all involved. Also just try to conjure five layers of cynicism to any interaction online.
That intro clip speaks to me on a personal level as a theater kid. Yes we're the gay supporting cast of the school!! I have never felt so seen
omg the thumbnail is so fun, i love it !
if you ever re-use something just say youre using allusion or self referencing
subbed for this, also your hair is really pretty :3
i draw nosegaps every time i draw this one specific face and only now did i realize it had a name like tf
AWESOME VIDEO, you're gorgeous
Congrats on 100K!!
