Why do some people call overweight people “fat” in front of their face?

[Anonymous]

Being overweight doesn’t cause a person to have mental problems like delusions.

Overweight people more than likely are aware they are overweight without other people telling them.
People don’t need to call overweight people “fat” because overweight people are very likely already aware they are.

For the same reason women on here complain about 10 vanity lbs. Because even that woman feels fat. Even if she won't say anything about it. People who've never been truly fat really have no an understanding of what it means to be truly fat. So in their mind it's just sheer laziness on a fat person's part. Because the woman that wants lose 10 vanity lbs. Probably diets hard and exercises already and she feels like the fat person isn't putting the effort she's putting in. Which COULD be true. But is not necessarily the case.

I can say I understand better what some overweight people deal with now. Because most of my life I'd always found it pretty easy to lose weight. But then I hit a period where I started putting on weight inexplicably. It wasn't till I'd gotten over 300lbs. That they discovered "oh, you've got sleep apnea". Come to find out my thyroid was low to. So I had 2 things actively working against my weightloss. I'm losing the weight now. But at half the speed I did before. And I understand. It's hard to want to give a full effort for half the reward. I can see why some people just give up and resign themselves to being overweight.

It’s also much easier for males to lose weight than females.

Yo girl, I totally feel you on that. Calling someone fat to their face is just straight up rude and nasty. Like, what good is gonna come of that? All it does is make the other person feel like crap.

I think people do it mostly to try and make themselves feel better by putting someone else down. Or sometimes outta just plain cruelty. But it's super unnecessary and hurtful. Like, no duh bigger people know what size they are. They ain't blind.

No one deserves to be disrespected just cuz of how they look. I say just keep your opinions about other folks' bodies to yourself unless they specifically ask. We all got enough stuff to worry about without other people adding insult to injury, ya feel me?

I admire that you stick up for people. Just keep doin your thing with the confidence and comfort for all. Haters gonna hate but their trash talk says more about them than anyone else. You do you and surround yourself with peeps that love you as is ♥️

It depends on if they are calling me names first and calling them fatso is a name to call them back.

But I can't imagine standing out sitting face to face and tell the person they are fat. That would be so uncomfortable to continue to be with the person after saying that to them.

They are not smart enough to be aware of the emotional impact their words can have. Ignorant bullies!

There can be many reasons. If we listed them all, it would get us nowhere. Just use your intuition.

Because they factually are. If you don't want to be called fat, don't be fat.

Fat shaming to motivate someone to lose weight.
