I Am Annoyed By Negative People

I just want to talk about something. I hate when people say certain body types aren’t “real”. I feel like insulting someone on looks alone is disgusting. I feel like that does more harm than seeing thin models in the media. This is just coming from a person that has dealt with an eating disorder. Putting a certain body type in a negative light will never help anyone. Instead of saying being fat/thin is disgusting, and if you genuinely care about the person, you wouldn’t just tell them their body is gross or not good enough, I feel like the people who bring up size don’t really care, they give no helpful advice, it seems like you all say this to bring yourselves up. Maybe actually encourage a person to do better, and offer help to them if they want/need it. Insults don’t help anything. Stop it. You never know where a person is mentally. I know that’s not your “problem” if they’re not doing too well mentally, but maybe consider keeping some of that negativity to yourselves. I still feel like my life would have been better if I didn’t let those hurtful things get to me. But I was 12 years old when people first started attacking my body, which made me spiral down a long bulimic path. I would never want to make a person feel like that’s their only way out.

Just from a guys perspective, I prefer thick or curvy women and I know lots of other guys do too. Not that you really care about what guys think, but I’m much more attracted to curvy over thin. Just ignore all the media crap trying to display thin chicks. There’s a whole lotta men and women who maybe aren’t on tv pushing it, but find curvy sexy as hell.
That defeats my whole point. Thin women are just as perfect as curvy women. No one should feel bad about their size. @12345abc
I get what you mean. I totally agree with you. There’s a type for everyone and it would be boring if we were all the same. I’m just saying I prefer curves myself. Thanks for sticking to your guns and just accepting a compliment tho. I like that. I love your conviction. 🙂@MorbidCynic
