I'm not sure if that anon was trying to help you but that was incredibly rude to tell someone to "shut up" tbh. Someone just can't change how they view their body and if you want to help her just be supportive and not so rude?? It's like telling someone to stop being depressed. Something like that just can't happen instantly, anon >:I. Also, you're not fat Pritt bb ;;n;; of course it's your body and you can think what you want, but still ;;A;;
I understand that the anon probably had good intentions. I understand that! I donât think it came out that well, though, and the ask aggravates me. I feel like depression is a much bigger issue but I agree ;v; my analogy was that it is similar to telling a smart person that they canât complain because they have a good average and great grades. To you they might be smart and their average might be good or satisfactory according to school/society/educational standards, but that doesnât mean that the person will also feel the same way. Plenty of times, the person /wonât/ feel the same, and you canât really convince âem; to them, to their families and to the expectations and standards they have and that others put on them, their âgood gradeâ doesnât cut the mark. I really appreciate it angel bb ;u; I just think Iâm in the âsmart personâs position. I really hate the âyou canât complain about your body or weight, youâre skinny!â/âyouâre not fat, you canât complain about that!â/âbut youâre skinny!â thing. It bothers me so much. If I thought under those ideas, obviously this wouldnât be an issue to me. Obviously, I donât consider myself to have a satisfactory weight and, obviously, saying those things in a rephrased manner is not going to help or do anything at all except piss me off. I have the right to complain about my body if I want, if Iâm not satisfied with it! Itâs my body! Consider the following quote from an image posted by tumblr user âbeutifulmagazineâ (apparently I canât do any fancy formatting or upload photos sigh): âThere are big girls who hate their bodies; there are big girls who like their bodies. There are thin girls who hate their bodies; there are thin girls who like their bodies. And then there are a lot of girls in between âbigâ and âthinâ, a lot who are beyond âbig or âthinâ. There are also a lot of girls in between âhateâ and âlikeâ. Sometimes they look in the mirror and what they see looks good. Other times itâs a struggle to find anything about themselves worth liking. And thatâs just the way it is. I think thatâs the way it always has been. Unfortunately, Iâm starting to think thatâs the way it always will be. Body acceptance is just a lot more complicated than âloving yourself,â itâs hard.â
