am i the only one who isn't on instagram to keep up some perfect polished image of myself

i'm on there to 1. post pictures i've taken cuz i like how you can keep a clean organized collection of photos, and 2. follow people with cool styles, or personalities/attitudes that i like, or who are experiencing things i can relate to like mental health issues or being lgbt etc

and i like the stories feature cuz you can post little snippets of nice moments, or sometimes i've posted kinda vent-y mental health-related stuff but in a more artsy/poetic/aesthetic form than what is the norm on other sites

Like i just think it's kinda silly to think instagram is this evil demon from social media hell only creating pressure to be perfect, i mean i get that that's what it's like for a lot of people but it's what you make it dude. if you follow people who only post perfected images of themselves of course it's gonna be like that. but if you follow people who encourage authenticity and openness and vulnerability and self-love then idk what's the harm?

agree to the last part but I still feel pressured tbh
not because I want to post the perfect image of myself but because I know how almost everyone who follows me is really superficial and expects me to post really beautiful pics with philosophical captions, like ugh that's not me and if I write something in the caption which I'd prefer they would probably make fun of me (my biggest problem when I post pictures is to write an accurate caption). They don't seem to understand that I don't post for them but for myself
idk if what I tried to explain makes sense but well...

i say block anyone who makes you feel like that tbh
may be a bit difficult if they're people you know irl though... i only follow / am followed by people i only know online or don't know at all

yeah I have a private account and I know everybody who follows me irl (school, family, friends) so I don't really think I could block anyone even though it would be the best and easiest solution
also in my school the people define themselves by the number of their followers and likes and i hate this very much : //

I want to just post whatever, and I know it's stupid but I honestly do feel the pressure to post a "perfect" staged picture if I'm gonna post anything. That's why I don't post, I'm just too scared of what people will think unfortunately. But I don't really use instagram anymore cause it just wasn't good for me, and the rare times I do open the app I honestly just look at peoples stories to see what they're up to, cause I feel like stories are more real.

i feel like stories are way to fake
they always post how they are on partys, drinking and stuff and it feels like they never put anything from their normal daily life in their stories
