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.

Isn’t being annoyed ‘negative’
