11 things everyone is guilty of doing on Instagram

~All up in that Following tab, creeping on youuu~

1. Filtering out most of your facial features

Hey, sometimes you want to just be eyes, lips, and the suggestion of a nose.

2. Checking someone’s profile so religiously that they come up in your ‘Suggested’ searches

And feeling briefly paranoid about it, then checking their profile again.

3. Having one person who you don’t follow but check in on from time to time, just to creep

You couldn’t give them the satisfaction of a follow. Or they’re too annoying to commit to. But you need to keep tabs on them all the same.

4. Going to great lengths to take a ‘casual’ photo

Your other half is a full-time Instagram Spouse taking candids, or you spend 20 minutes arranging your desk for the perfect flatlay. There’s nothing ‘casual’ about it.

5. Having a nose in the ‘Following’ tab to see what everyone’s liking

6. Getting annoyed at bloggers and influencers for not tagging their great shoes/lipstick…

HOW DARE YOU TRY TO SELL ME SOMETHING BUT AT THE SAME TIME, I NEED TO KNOW WHERE YOUR TOP IS FROM.

7. …And/or signing up to ridiculous websites just to find out where the fecking shoes are from

You’re playing right into their hands… But the shoooooooes! You can just unsubscribe later!

7. Being unreasonably pleased by likes heading into double figures

8. And tempted by the latest Instagram ‘It’ product

Those drawstring strapless bras. They have to be a scam. *opens wallet*

9. Having a good scroll through your own profile to see how you look to others dropping in

Good craic? Popular? Attractive? What does this profile SAY to the outside world?

10. Considering every upload carefully to this effect

“My last two photos have my face in them. Should I put up another selfie? Will people think I love myself? Do I need an Instagram ‘theme’? Ah feck it.”

11. And spending way too much time on it, period

You know you should ease off on it. But what if you miss another of Beyoncé’s maternity #ootns? Perish the thought.
