Barely anybody where I work notices me, then yesterday I used my inhaler at my desk and within seconds three people sitting around we were all talking about my asthma. I don't really know what to think about that kind of thing, I don't know why they all picked up on it.

asthma? is not something you catch, you are born with

obesity? can be caused by thyroids or other disorders, other than over eating

dental problems? come on, no one is born with perfect teeth yo

acne? we all been there had it or have it at one point, teenage years or adult years

depression? caused by all kinds of life changing things, if your mother or father died I'm pretty sure you could suffer depression,

...honestly I don't know what sicko would judge people based on any of these things? I have a bit of acne , due to hormones not because of dirty skin ... as for obesity , hey we all can stand to loose a few pounds or so probably...

It could happen to you someday so its best not to judge, use that energy for something positive,

Simply, people are afraid of what they don't know- what they don't understand. Thus, they project their unconscious fear and anxiety onto those who have issues in a judgmental way (this applies to the health issues you describe and much more).

Believe me, I know. My body isn't in the greatest shape medically (physically, it looks great, though).

Wityh the exceptionof obesity, no one chooses to have these conditions, and it's difficult to avoid them.

Obesity is nearly always something that you can 'cure' with your behavior, so I do pass judgment on people who can't control their size a little.

asthma - genetic. not a big deal breaker at all.

obesity - I'm overweight too, I can't judge. but you need a great personality so your size doesn't become your dominant quality.

dental problems - depends on how severe. but generally, I don't expect perfection.

acne - depends on severity, but mostly not a problem

depression - I've had it before too. as long as they aren't extremely bipolar, it's cool.

Thanks for your answer, some research shows that asthma might be caused by chemical exposure just an fyi.

1. It happens. Never thought about it much.

2. Weak-minded ignorant fools.

3. Depends on health history. Teeth are one of the first areas to suffer in health problems so it's a warning sign honestly of other problems with deeper and more serious causes.

4. Ugly. Ew.

5. Normal. Depends on depth.
