you truly do not exist for other ppl’s consumption and your existence is not hinged on making others happy and comfortable by stifling and hiding and crushing and editing parts of yourself to be less than who you really are

hot take: fat girls are allowed to have standards. fat girls are allowed to think you’re ugly and gross and unattractive and that you’re not worth their time. they shouldn’t have to settle because you already have dehumanized them and determined they are worth less than you. why would any woman want to be with a person who thinks she doesn’t respect herself because of the shape of her body? fat women are not easy, we’re not freaks who will do whatever you want to feel approval. we’re not desperate. We have no reason to be grateful for you.
