Through a street experiment with a professional artist, the host demonstrates that individuals often judge themselves more harshly than strangers do. The episode also discusses the dangers of cosmetic surgery addiction and the influence of social media filters on self-image.

### Key Points

- **Introduction to the Experiment** [00:02] — The host introduces an experiment where a professional artist, Islam, will draw a random person twice: once based on the person's self-description and once based on a stranger's description.

## Transcript

see yourself? If you want me to come out like this in two or three hours, tell me, because if that's the case, I'll come now. It's going to shock you about how you see yourself in the mirror and how people on the street see you. What are you doing
mirror is one person, and what people on the street see is another. That's what we'll discover today. That's why we brought in Islam, a professional artist and one of the most talented artists in Egypt. We'll have him draw a random person from the street today. Islam will draw this person twice: once
describing the person's appearance and once describing a stranger's appearance. The biggest challenge is that Islam must never see this person, no matter what, until the experiment is over. At the end, we'll compare the person's appearance in the two drawings and see if the person's perspective of their appearance is better than the perspective of the
this isn't the only experiment we did in this episode. There was another one at the end of the this episode. There was another one at the end of the episode that shocked people about their appearance.  So make sure you episode that shocked people about their appearance.  So make sure you watch this episode to the end. Good evening,
friends! Okay, quickly, so you know where the idea for this episode came from. Lately, I was scrolling through social media and this picture popped up. I apologize for the awful image, but what you don't know is that there's a
story behind it that will shock you. The girl in this picture is named Hang Meku. When this picture was taken, she was about 28 years old. She looked perfectly natural, nothing wrong with her. So what did she do? That same year, she had cosmetic surgery. She had it done to
smooth her skin, even though she didn't look anything special. Anyway, what happened after this surgery turned her life upside down. After the surgery, she developed something called beauty addiction, which is an addiction to beauty or cosmetic surgery because she...
She was satisfied with her appearance and the way God Almighty created her, so she started having a lot of cosmetic surgeries, to the point of hysteria. The number of surgeries she was seeing became so overwhelming that the plastic surgeons told her they wouldn't operate on her anymore. And indeed, every plastic surgeon she
went to refused to perform any surgery on her. Then, look what Ms. Hang did! See where addiction takes her. Hang started talking to a guy named Tuli Tuli, who was selling silicone injections in an unregulated manner. She started taking all the injections he had and injecting herself
with them all without any medical supervision. And if only it had stopped there! When her silicone ran out and she couldn't get any more from Tuli, she started thinking about what alternative to inject her face with. thinking about what alternative to inject her face with. Guess what she did? She injected her face with cooking oil! I swear, I ca
n't believe what I'm saying! She injected her face with cooking oil! See where addiction took her! Of course, as soon as she did that...  Her face was ruined, her skin became swollen and scarred, and she ended up looking like this now. It's truly awful. God Almighty
said, "We have certainly created man in the best of forms." Of course, her life turned into hell after what she did, and she started appearing on many programs begging people to donate money so she could get her face back to how God created it. She was initially so happy with it, but now she wishes she could go back.
People did donate, and she underwent many, many surgeries. The doctors tried to remove everything she injected into her face. It's said they removed 30 grams of silicone and 20 grams of cooking oil from her face. Can you imagine? While reading this story, a question came to my mind: why did this girl have so many
cosmetic surgeries and ruin her face to the point where she injected cooking oil into it, when she was already injected cooking oil into it, when she was already about this, and I realized that even if she looked beautiful to us, she probably did
n't look beautiful to herself, or she saw herself differently than we did. Otherwise, she wouldn't have done all that to her face. Honestly, I felt that this is how most people see themselves, not just this girl. Most people see themselves as worse than others see them, even though they are, God willing,
very beautiful. To prove this to you, we did an experiment. The experiment involved me going to Islam Attia, a professional artist. I create content on social media about academic drawing, and I've been teaching people from inside and outside Egypt for two and a half years.
Islam is incredibly skilled at drawing; I was amazed when I saw his drawing videos. He managed to turn this hobby into a business and trains people from all over the Arab world. So, what's the idea behind the experiment? To keep things interesting, we'll go out into the street. I'm very excited to find
out.  The result of this experiment is just that the idea is that we find the person who will agree to be drawn. So now we are on a journey to search for this person. So we will see what will happen. Islam is there now. He is going to the place. He will not see the person at all.
Islam must not see this person. Why is that?  Because Islam will start by drawing this random person, describing their appearance, and this will be his drawing with us. Then we'll bring in another random person and have them describe the same person, Islam. So, we'll have two drawings: one from the person's perspective of their appearance, and another from a
stranger's perspective of that person's appearance. We'll compare them to see which one is more accurate. was almost 39 degrees Celsius, meaning we were melting. The biggest challenge for us was
finding someone willing to do the experiment with us. Of course, whenever I approached someone to tell them the idea for the experiment and have them do it with us, they would refuse. They might even leave without me even getting a chance to finish talking to them. Then we found someone. Good evening. Can we take a picture with you? We're going to
like to take a picture with us. Of course, yes. Okay, person and an artist. This artist  He'll draw you, but he wo n't see you. You'll describe yourself to him, and then he'll start drawing n't see you. You'll describe yourself to him, and then he'll start drawing
n't see you at all. You'll just start by describing yourself to him, and then he'll start drawing your description. Okay, my face... no, not round, not square, just normal. You have chin hair? Yes, I have chin hair, a light, graduated pattern on the sides and heavier on the area where
the jawline is. Tell him my chin is all heavy except for the sides, which are light and thick. Your face is thick, chin is all heavy except for the sides, which are light and thick. Your face is thick, little bit... It's not a cut or a
It's not a cut or a layered cut. Oh, near my eye, I have something like a layered cut. Oh, near my eye, I have something like a scratch on my face, not a wound, more like a small scratch.
I'm done now. Okay, No, wait, I want the camera to show it first. We've done this.
This is the drawing, based on your
there aren't many people walking in the street, so we'll take Ehab with us on the team. Ehab has just seen him, so we'll have Ehab describe him to Islam. So we'll see. We'll compare the two drawings. We'll compare Ehab's description of him with his description of himself. His face isn't very round, it's more oval. His hair is layered.  His
face isn't very round, it's more oval. His hair is layered.  His high on the right side. Look at his forehead from the side, like a profile. Is it Look at his forehead from the side, like a profile. Is it
slight crease in the middle, or straight. His crease in the middle, or straight. His eyebrows are thick and well-defined. His eyes are wide with
long eyelashes. His nose isn't too big or too small, just in the middle. His chin is tapered, falling down to his lower chin, and his mustache is also thick. His ears are small,
but his cheeks aren't too big either. We could say it's okay from the bottom could say it's okay from the bottom up, but I feel this is the best, honestly. It's closer to reality.
Okay, do you see that one of them is better in terms of appearance? This one is better see that one of them is better in terms of appearance? This one is better
this is the drawing that he drew, the one that Islam described, the one that he described about himself, and Islam described, the one that he described about himself, and this is the drawing that Ihab described Islam as, meaning this is the way people see him and this is the way he sees himself.  Maybe he'll see it
Oh, come on, let's go, come on, oh my goodness, you see, you see, you made me look bigger in the picture, but your description made me feel close to you.  Yes, but in
three years, no, a difference of five or six, if you want me to look like that in two or three years, tell me, because if that's the case, I'll kill myself right now. No, little narrow. When you laugh, your eyes are a little narrow,
but they're amazing, wow. The picture is beautiful, honestly, and the drawing is amazing, wow. It's close to you. Come here, come here, we'll get your opinion on something. We'll get your opinion on something that will appear on the program. Come here. Do you feel that one of them looks better?
Why this one? Do you feel it's better or not? It's a little messed up. This one, but you feel that as a person, this one is better? Yes, this one is
that's right. Of course, I was surprised when I saw the two drawings and I saw that the second drawing in which Ehab described his appearance was much better than his description of himself, and that wasn't my opinion.  But this proves to you how many people who don't like themselves
judge themselves harshly, and how others see them as much more beautiful than they perceive themselves to be. So, my friend, don't judge yourself or your appearance so harshly. Learn to be your own friend and always remind yourself of your strengths, because what you say about yourself is a reflection of yourself to
others. It's better to tell yourself you look bad, and you'll find that people automatically see you that way, even though it's not true. The proof is that God Almighty said, "And He formed you in the best of forms." So please improve your self- image and speak to yourself gently. But most importantly, don't forget that this isn't the
only experiment we did in this episode. There was another one at the end that was very impactful for me, so make sure you watch until the end and tell me which of the two drawings you think is better. You know what proved to me that we see ourselves differently?
Our own selves are worse than how people see us. When I started asking people in the street to PM to
4 PM, they'd say, "Good evening, how are you? How would you rate your appearance out of 4?" For example, "I feel like I'm..." Then they'd say, " ...
now, I want to know why someone might get cosmetic surgery when we see them looking like that. We feel like they don't need it, but why would they get cosmetic surgery when they were get a pigeon and let it fly, that's all.
I see a lot of people who don't need cosmetic surgery, but they think they're ugly. Do people like that come in wanting to get a lot of cosmetic surgery, eyes are drooping over my eyebrows!" "No, doctor, my nose is too big!" "Her
nose is normal!" Have you ever had someone come to you wanting Tell us the strangest case you've ever had. Someone came to me wanting nose surgery, to make their nose
asked me to recommend a surgeon, even though he didn't really need it. Seriously? Look, all the doctors at the conference said yes, I swear to God.  It's upsetting. The problem is that most of them are young people, teenagers, and what's even more upsetting is that something like this could
at the pharmacy was related to cosmetic surgery. The strangest thing I ever saw, and you haven't strangest thing is that they copy each other. A routine works for one person who wants to copy the same routine as her. As a person, and with all due respect to everyone, I am
completely against cosmetic surgery except in cases where something has happened to a person that has ruined their appearance, and the cosmetic surgery becomes a matter of life or death. For example, someone who has suffered burns, or someone who has experienced something that has changed their original appearance as God created them. But as for things like lip injections,
facial injections, and skin rejuvenation, I honestly don't agree with them at all. You need to understand the basis of cosmetic surgery first. Cosmetic surgery started to appear after World War II, and this was because soldiers in the war were suffering from burns.  Their faces were covered in wounds and very serious injuries, and their appearances were so disfigured—I don't
know if we can even post the pictures—it's difficult. This is where the idea of ​​cosmetic surgery came from. Its basic purpose is to correct a deformity that someone couldn't continue living with. It's not just about someone wanting to enlarge their lips, reduce their nose, or reshape their face. So, my friends, that's not necessarily the reason God gave us
the idea of ​​cosmetic surgery. God Almighty says, "We have certainly created man in the best of forms." Let's look at the statistics for cosmetic surgery worldwide today. Every year, 38 million cosmetic procedures are performed, including facelifts, body lifts,
rhinoplasty, and breast augmentation. Of these, 6.5 million are facial procedures alone. 6.5 million are facial procedures alone. More than 85% of these are women, and 1% are men. So, what makes these people undergo cosmetic surgery? The motivation behind it is also
divided into percentages: 70%  They do it to boost their self-confidence, which is completely wrong. 67% believe that if they do it, their lives will be better. 55% do it to appear more attractive to
others and reduce social anxiety. All of these are illusions. These people are literally chasing the mirage of social media. Unfortunately, social media is a source of depression. Someone might be ordinary, but they not necessarily an Egyptian one), a certain blogger, or so-and-so with a luxury car, going to
Marassi or Assenda, or staying at a certain blogger or actress's place. Of course, influencers have become a very large segment of our society, so everyone wants to live this life and do what they do. This has become our role model:
every day I see this filter showing this influencer and this blogger, how they look. In the end, it's all filters. They see people on social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram.  So they like this personality and want to be like it,
but we're in the same boat, always trying to keep up with the times, following the trends on social media. One of its worst effects is the constant comparisons people make. They compare themselves to this actor or celebrity, their looks
and circumstances, even though they've only seen a few minutes of their life each day. And then there's the bigger problem: filters. I do n't know if you'll believe me, but 79% of cosmetic surgeons say that most of their patients want to look
like the filter they used or the influencer they follow. This has become so widespread that I even dedicated an episode to it called "Filter Addict," which you should watch. All of this is because people are chasing after the illusion created by social media. And to prove to you that
All of this is just social media illusions. Look, when we asked people in the street what they said about the characteristics of a beautiful person?   His appearance is nice and clean, his style is nice, meaning he appears to be a respectable person. So, he will definitely appear handsome. No, in general, his appearance should be neat,
No, I don't see details. So, what do you see? The No, I don't think so. I focus on appearance, honestly. I might focus on his appearance, meaning the groomed, I mean,
Your personality is what gives an impression of your appearance, and it is what determines whether people see you in a bad or good way.  The way you treat people doesn't just show them with your eyes; it shows them with their feelings and emotions. Your approach to people will determine how they perceive you. This is
n't an invitation to neglect our appearance and become unkempt. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said that God is beautiful and loves beauty. To illustrate this, let's conduct an experiment. Hey, what's up, Karim? Listen, how would you rate my looks? What would you rate me on a scale of
10. Okay, fine. Hey, YouTube video. I'm from Egypt, and I'm currently filming a YouTube video. Ask me what the question is: How would you rate
How would you rate me on a scale of 10? What would you rate me on a scale of 10? What would you rate me on a scale of 10? May definitely be considered beautiful. said, this isn't an encouragement to neglect our appearance; on the contrary...  This episode might be a
stronger motivation for you to take care of yourself and make you see your appearance in the real way, that you are beautiful just as everyone sees you as beautiful and you don't know it, and what is most important of all is that God is the one who said this: love important of all is that God is the one who said this: love yourself, love your appearance, love people, because believe me, the issue is
yourself, love your appearance, love people, because believe me, the issue is not here, the whole issue is here, and as usual, don't forget to not here, the whole issue is here, and as usual, don't forget to share. Yeah.
