Laura Tobón is a revered and very well-known personality and model in Colombia. She is one of the most well-known internationally and is also known because of her work on TV networks. In a recent social media post, she says it is not realistic for young girls to compare themselves to her and that they should not feel pressured to look like her. She said people should not compare themselves to her because being a public figure is her full-time job, and if it is not your full-time job, you should not have the same expectations she has. She expressed that she would have liked to see a video or message on her social media, because people only show a perfect life at different times. She says there are many comparisons on social media, which make many people feel different kinds of insecurities and make them feel smaller or as if they are not worth it. She expresses that social media is a small piece of reality and creates expectations that are unsustainable for others. People who are content creators have a whole team that helps them with aesthetics, and this happens mostly on a daily basis. This is not the reality for most people. She says people should not aspire to this because it is her job, and if it is not your job, it is not realistic to consider it real life. This shows the expectations people have and how comparisons and the social media world have created great controversy, and even this video she posted created a great deal of controversy.
