I agree... it's not nice to hate and shame anyone for the body shape ❌
Happens to guys, too, although not since I was 18, even though I've been skinny almost the entire time (and am now). Happened a lot to me as a teenager- only refuge was running track, where there were lots of other skinny guys...
Yep I've been skinny shamed by my sister inlaw, she made a comment that I shouldn't be joining the gym because I'm already skinny.
I've been shamed by my mother and brother because I'm only a B cup.
People are stupid who think gym is only meant to loose weight. Gym is a place where you work out to stay fit
It's a shame that people make thoughtless comments that can be so destructive, just to make themselves feel good about themselves
I think they bad because they lack the motivation to do anything.
Meanwhile I've lost a little bit of weight from around my tummy, I only noticed because I went to put on my favorite shorts and fit me better.
I don't weigh myself though I haven't done so in a long time, I just go by how my clothes fit.
Well done... I always like when pants or trousers that were tighter seem a bit looser. And considering that it's just past Christmas... good job.
Exactly. I hate when people say "real men like such and such." Since when does a man's preference determine whether he's a real man or not? Sometimes being skinny is genetic and some people need to keep their unnecessary comments to themselves.
I think a lot overweight people are hypocritics: You might want to ease off of the generalizations. Also the reason it is all right to love your curves and not bones because it's Natural for all women to at lest have some type of curves but it is not Natural to be overly obese and overly skinny.
And along came communists with a handy descriptor "skinny shaming" . You heard it and thought "hay that's what's been happening to me"! And it felt really good too, like someone finally understood or was at least going to validate your hardship. Thank god for communists, oh, wait they're blood thirsty murderers who slaughtered a hundred million people by tricking them with made up sympathy. Darn.
I am pretty blunt and I tend to say if someone is too fat or too thin for that matter.
I just think there is a healthy range and people who don't fit in it need to work on themselves.
Some people are naturally leaner or fuller but there are limits on both ends of the scale where it becomes problematic.
For me as long as the person is maintaining himself and keeping fit it s all good. I can appreciate different body types as long as it is in shape and looking healthy.
I am skinny and i have been shamed specially by women. People don’t really think that any kind of shaming is NOT OK. And I now kind of like the attention i get because most of these women come and tell me how to maintain this. I really don’t, that’s just my body type and i love it
Body shaming is never good. Big people get bullied and put down much more though. Skinny has been for a long time and still is the beauty standard. Models are thin, most actresses are thin, even singers are often on the thinner side. The whole "real women have curves" started to remind the world that not everybody can be skinny.
I get that having your body shaed sucks either way, but being tall and skinny is still infinitely better than being short and chubby.
Skinny is not still the beauty standard. Sorry. Now it's literally hourglass curves, and any woman who doesn't have that is picked on...
Skinny my whole life and short. I prefer to say I'm petite. At times I have struggled to keep weight on and then feel self conscious about looking too thin. I know exactly how you feel.
O hell yes
I was all ways skinny shamed growing up. The worst part is they don't think they are hurting your feelings but they are helping you by shaming you. Telling you to put on some weight.
I hear you. I was also ridiculed growing up because I was underweight (by both girls and boys). I do, however, believe that fat shaming and skinny shaming come from different motives. I believe fat shaming is more out of malice and disgust, whereas skinny shaming is often out of jealously.
Well it's true.. i know a friend who have the same problem but she does not care much and jokes about their comments. But let me tell you that if you want others to respect you then you should make your voice be heard and not remain silent. Saying it here on gag won't help you in real life, you should face the people who try to shame you and say all the things you've said here, that will make a difference.
I love how a lot of thin people want to deny the cultural privilege of being thin, as if this is an even playing field where "fat people are just as accepted and praised as thin people and the shaming is equal on both sides."
Even people who hate fat people crying for body positivity dont even believe that, come on now lol
I do hate when people say things like real women have curves. Real women have vaginas, they’re body type doesn’t validate their authenticity. I was bullied for being chunky and skinny women were praised around me. I envy people like you that eat whatever they want and don’t gain weight lol
ok y'all lets b real, why do we shame in the first fucking place, what is it's purpose? to hurt others for being themselve? why they hell do we shame. I agree with them but i am curvy but trying to loose thaat meat and weight i used to get picked on for being aneroxic once and i was so underweight for my age, i weighed 89 pounds at 14 cause i was anorxic. People need to grow the fuck up aand stop shaming.
Contemporary culture music particularly hip hop, can have a tendency to be misogynistic, you should try to ignore these people that are calling you names, there probably be ugly on the outside a worse in. And if that picture was you, then I'm going to take a cold shower, you too beautiful!
it all depends on where you live and who you live around. Plus there is skinny and like being a toothpick.
Skinny person here: yes.
But I'm a guy, so most people don't care.
Instead, everyone seems to think, that I don't know I'm taller than average. Fascinating.
I was skinny all my life untill last five years, now i have put on weight as per my bmi but i know how it feels when people call you skinny. You said it right that we all are humans and we should like others for who they are and not their looks.
