kinda long rant below

tw for people that are extremely underweight ig. oh! also venting (maybe? not sure what to call this.)

I feel like most people don't understand that being really skinny isn't a good thing. Like yeah people associate skinny people with being fit but still. So many things suck ass because of being severely underweight. Sitting down? That gets painful after a while, yes even if its a comfy chair. Laying down on anything that isn't padded/carpeted? Yeowch, your spine is gonna hurt for a while. ANY cold weather? Fucking shivering, yes even if you have on multiple layers. The weather stuff really sucks because even if it ISN'T cold you still feel like you're freezing in any air conditioned room. Like bro wtf.

And that's just the physical stuff, other people make it so much worse. Constant comments about anything to do with weight/size. You're eating a lot? "Oh good, I know you need it". You're eating too little? "Oh no honey, you need to eat more." You eat a regular amount? "Hey now, we need to fill that plate up, get some meat on your bones!". You wear short sleeves? You'll get a comment about being stick thin, being told to work out, etc. You wear anything revealing any part of your torso? EVERYONE will comment on your extremely visible ribs/spin. God forbid you wear a belt, now your asking for someone to make a comment on how tight it is, or if you got it from the children's section. All your clothes will be ill-fitting, especially if you're above or below average height.

And it's not just the people you expect, either; your parents or aunts or other family members, it's also your teachers, coaches, friends, random people on the street, hell even your fucking dentist. People who claim to be accepting of people not like them? Many of them do it too! And many times it's not even big things like when someone asks you, "Where is all that food going?", it's often people making a comment about your baggy clothes that don't fit, or you having stick arms.

I get that most of the time it's unintentional or not meant to be rude, but it still fucking hurts.

Yes I am desensitized to most of it. Yes it fucking sucks. but guess what? it still fucking hurts.

hmm
