Why does it seem like body positivity proponents are some of the most judgmental people who end up making you feel bad about your looks?

This sounds counterintuitive but every time I walk away from people who have a “everyone is beautiful” outlook I feel uncomfortable. It’s almost like it comes from a place of them assuming someone doesn’t think they’re beautiful. I don't know what it is but it feels Disingenuous and borderline fake. I see this especially in beauty stores and anything to do with fashion or modeling.

I completely get where you're coming from. It's so frustrating when something meant to empower ends up making you feel worse! Sometimes, the push for body positivity can come across as insincere, especially when it feels forceful or overcompensated. Some people might also project their own insecurities, ironically making others feel bad in the process. It should be about genuine acceptance and support, not a superficial pat on the back. Maybe focusing on your own self-love journey, rather than external validation, might help. What have you been doing for self-care lately?

Because they are. "Body positive" is much like "sex positive"; code words designed to sound appealing, but that only occur in the angrily judgmental who can't stand to have their own tools used against them.
