7/6/2023 0 Comments Twig person![]() Making presumptions about thin people is just as bad as making presumptions about overweight people. Getting self-righteous or bitterly jealous at thin people solves nothing, just as getting bitter about overweight people (whom no one knows the circumstances of and generally have no business with it anyway) solves nothing. In no way do I mean that people who are overweight don't have valid responses on the subject, but I do think they're letting their feelings get in the way of understanding what other people go through by simply looking the way they do.įrankly, this whole 'us vs them' mindset in the discrimination against 'skinny and fat' people really isn't doing much good other than causing a rift of rivalry in the classification system that people are fighting to get rid of. I haven't checked out the second link yet, and but from my perspective, I think this sort of mindset is harmful and a bit unfair for both sides of the spectrum. Exactly what they say depends upon the body of the person they're commenting on, but they'll always find something. People who make comments on other peoples' bodies are always going to find something to say. Then of course there were the 10-year-old boy comments, which were obviously meant to hurt, and did.įunny enough, the people who said those things to me are now calling me chubby because I'm 115 lbs, at present. I think the people who called me that honestly thought they were paying me a compliment, but I always felt self-conscious. You can only imagine how many times I was called twiggy or a skeleton. When I was in late high school/early college I was 5'5" and 95 lbs. ![]() By making that comment you are saying they conform to the societal ideal, which the subject of the comment "should" be happy about. It's more socially acceptable to comment on someone being thin as opposed to fat because thin is the societal ideal.
