What do my celeb crushes say about me? 20f

These are all the celeb/character crushes I've ever had so if some of them are younger characters, I probably liked them when I was younger.

Bad instagram ocd

Im 20f, I cannot do this anymore! I have instagram and every time I post a photo, I spiral about my identity and the image of myself im presenting online. I have a private account with limited followers, but constantly worry that my feed isnt accurately representing all sides of who I am. I need to perfectly arrange posts to feature different genres of music evenly, not too many friends posts in a row, or nature, or boyfriend pics, etc. Its exhausting. And then when I post something I worry like "what if my followers think im this" or "how will people know i also like this". One of the major things sounds so stupid to say out loud but people often assume im an art major/studying art because I come across as a very artsy person and love painting.. but I also am a nerd and studying stem - and it doesnt come across at all on instagram. Its so stupid but this fear of being misunderstood eats me alive and I almost just want to delete all my photos and not be a poster. But I do love posting its fun and keeps me connected with friends, I think its a very human thing to do. But its just so exhausting. Please any advice, apologies for the childish grammar of this post

Social media OCD

Hello lovelies, I'm looking for some advice about an OCD theme I've had for YEARS now. I have only one social media app (instagram) and I love posting photos to share with friends, it's kinda like art to me and I look forward to it but I get just the worst OCD about my instagram sometimes. It's mainly about this fear of being misperceived. For example, say my instagram feed is mostly nature pictures with a certain genre of music on them - now my OCD is like "hey how will my followers know I also like this other genre of music, or that I also do this as a hobby, or that I like this blah blah blah" and its endless - like I know it is impossible to present every possible aspect of my life on social media, but my brain is so bothered that I can't. I do the same with the celebrities I follow - I need to follow the perfect amount of people as to evenly represent all sides of who I am. I also can't post too many friend pics in a row, or too many boyfriend pics, or blah blah. It is SO exhausting when I get into these spirals. On top of this, I also hate doomscrolling so I usually just have instagram uninstalled and only download it to check in on friends or post something. I'm wondering if the cons outweigh the pros at this point, and if I should just delete all my posts and stop worrying about this. But then - am I giving in to the OCD? I feel like it would be really freeing. But I also love posting pictures :(

Does anyone have any advice or can anyone relate?
