Search Results: telling someone you like them feelings

This is a safe space, but if you’d like to comment anonymously, be my guest.

I’ll explain a bit, what I mean by safe space. I mean respectfully express your opinion on body positivity. Not to just protect my sensitive ass self, but to protect others that may be reading this. Also because calling someone a fat pig or telling someone to eat a sandwich is flat out rude, and not necessary!

My opinion?

I am a fat girl, luckily I’ve been lucky enough to never get called fat to my face, mostly because I’m so shy and reserved in school most people think the only thing that’ll happen is I’ll tell the school, and they’ll get in trouble for being a mean asshat. But, in fact they are only partially right! Just because I’m shy doesn’t mean I won’t protect my feelings if you say rude things to my face. But.. if you say it behind my back, or when you think I didn’t hear that, I just won’t give you the time of day. But.. that’s besides the point.. a idiot in my gym class last school year said I was 300lbs, just so you know I’ve never weighed over 256, I weighed 256 that day, it was June my sophomore year.. I was hurt, I didn’t cry over it.
this person was the person to act like he’s nice to the shy kids, but then spread rumours and be a asshole when he thinks they aren’t looking or hearing. Anyways... I need to get to my opinion already!
I love body positivity, to a extent.. I do not believe being overweight at all is healthy, HEALTHY! I don’t think overweight or obese people are ugly, they aren’t! We aren’t! But.. I hate how people assume that because beauty standards are changing it’s ok to weigh what I did in June this year.. unless your 6’4’, it’s not!
Also, if you wanna know, I weight about 227 now, I know some people that aren’t my size don’t see that as a big achievement.. I do.. although mine wasn’t due to working out, I just kinda stopped eating as much (I say that in moderation)

Anyways, I just wanna see some opinions! Like do you agree with me?

Do you believe that you should always trust and follow your intuition no matter what, even if the logical side of your brain is telling you that you’re just being irrational? For example, if you just get a bad or uneasy feeling about a particular person and/or situation, even though on the outside all appears to be fine, you should go with your instinct? Or do you think you should try to convince yourself that you’re just being paranoid, because maybe you are just being silly? What do you think? In my own experience, anytime I’ve been in a situation where I just didn’t get a good feeling about someone, and I couldn’t explain why, in the end I turned out to be right. But not before almost getting myself into trouble because I would just convince myself that I was being ridiculous because they seemed to be a nice, normal person (note that I used the word “seemed”). Has your intuition ever been wrong? Or do you have any examples of when you trusted it above all else and you were glad you did?
