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 don’t 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 can’t 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 doesn’t mean that the person will also feel the same way. Plenty of times, the person /won’t/ feel the same, and you can’t really convince ‘em; to them, to their families and to the expectations and standards they have and that others put on them, their “good grade” doesn’t cut the mark. I really appreciate it angel bb ;u; I just think I’m in the “smart person”s position. I really hate the “you can’t complain about your body or weight, you’re skinny!”/”you’re not fat, you can’t complain about that!”/”but you’re skinny!” thing. It bothers me so much. If I thought under those ideas, obviously this wouldn’t be an issue to me. Obviously, I don’t 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 I’m not satisfied with it! It’s my body! Consider the following quote from an image posted by tumblr user “beutifulmagazine” (apparently I can’t do any fancy formatting or upload photos sigh): “There 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 “big” and “thin”, a lot who are beyond “big or “thin”. There are also a lot of girls in between “hate” and “like”. Sometimes they look in the mirror and what they see looks good. Other times it’s a struggle to find anything about themselves worth liking. And that’s just the way it is. I think that’s the way it always has been. Unfortunately, I’m starting to think that’s the way it always will be. Body acceptance is just a lot more complicated than “loving yourself,” it’s hard.”
