36 分钟I'm sure it's a biological instinct to care about what we look like, to sort of be concerned about our appearance.
However, I feel like since the inception of social media, our collective obsession with our appearance has steadily increased to the point that we're at now where it's peaking in a way that I don't think anyone could have anticipated.
Unless you're really not on the internet and you don't live in a big city where the zeitgeist is quite literally in front of you at all times.
It is abundantly clear that as a society, we are more obsessed with our appearance than we've ever been before in a way that is arguably concerning and can at times even be dangerous.

This is such a relevant topic of conversation that even though I don't really scroll on the internet very much these days, it's still made its way onto my radar.

I briefly interrupt this episode to let you know that this episode of Anything Goes is presented by Walmart.
Summer's back, baby, which means a whole new wardrobe.
Thankfully, you can find trends that speak to you for less at Walmart.
You know, for me, summer is about simplicity and comfort because warm weather is pleasant, but only if you dress properly for it.
So I'm trying to wear breathable but cute clothing all summer long.
From casual hangs to vacation, Walmart's the place to find all your summer pieces.
Think chic eyelet styles, breezy dresses, it-girl shoes, vibrant colors, and more.

Now back to the episode.
As I'm noticing this happen societally, I, on a personal level, am having the opposite experience.
