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.

We each build up our worth of self. It our own job for life, to have our validation of who we are, established by our own self. Then it can never be taken, as you establish it. You anchor you.

We are mirrors of each other, if you react to someone, then they have hit a corresponding note in you. "To spot it, you're got it."

The best gift that one can give oneself - is peace of mind. You can do this with daily meditation. Then you won't hang onto those hurt thoughts you have with you. To let past hurts go, is true freedom.

To be at-home-in-you, is your foundation, set by you, founded by you. Then no matter how people behave around or towards you, you let it slip of, not stick.

We each are our own happiness, no one can intrude on this state - only will if you allow it to.

To be
To be free from judgment
To be free with no attachment

You will be either a happy person or a "right" person
The choice is yours....
