Don't Tell Me Not to Be Body Positive

[Anonymous]

You are clearly undeserving of happiness because of the way you look.

I get to tell other people what they should look like or else, but when it's done to me, that would be bullying and that's completely wrong.

I know just by looking at you that no one is going to date you because only certain types of people who look a certain way ever end up in relationships.

Stop being positive about your life, and be miserable. This totally has nothing to do with my own insecurities and hang-ups about myself.

By virtue of being me, I am the complete authority on beauty standards.

There are simply no successful people with disabilities.

The one and only thing people ever use to determine their friendships, is your size.

I think you should change who you are completely for me.

I'm not a doctor, but visually I can tell you are unhealthy. The only thing that determines this unequivocally, is if you look thin.

I'm a complete stranger and I have an opinion on you that should matter above your own.

Wow! I mean, just wow! It's amazing when you see this stuff in front of you what some people tell you about how you should feel about your own body or the way you look.These people are literally telling people to be unhappy...why? According to them, you're apparently not tall enough, you're not thin enough, you're not sexy enough, your skin color isn't the right one, your hair is this, your disability is that, because you have a stretch mark, life is over...why? Because they said so. That's it. And everything some guy or girl says is correct simply because they said it, she says sarcastically. Guess what, they need to get a grip, and so do you!

You or someone else is going to hate me no matter what I look like. I don't have time to change who I am every second because someone new has come up with an idea of the way everyone should look today and feels the need to tell me about it.

When you allow yourself to listen to these negative voices, you agree to let them hold you back from achieving your absolute potential in life.

You, whoever you are out there, are going to keep being negative and keep trying to put people down, because that's what you do. Maybe you'll change and maybe you won't, but listening to you rattle on about how you think everyone should be, or look like, or who's "allowed" to do what, wastes my time. That's time I could be using to better my life and achieve my goals while you're still sitting on your a** talking sh*t!

hell yeah you do you lol. probably the best thing anyone can do.

i got no issue with bigger people but there seems to be a stereotype among fat girls, they be entitled af.

I've not heard that one about being entitled, but there is just too much going on in this world, and you've got people telling other people you "should" look and you "should" feel a certain way, but yet in the reverse, it's not fair to say anything to them. Been made fun of my whole life for my height, but I realized very early on thank goodness, that it was a waste of my time to listen to that then, and whatever else people want to say about me now, still a waste.

your height?

[myTake Owner]

Yes. Body positivity isn't just about weight which is something people assume. People get made fun of, or bullied, or shamed a lot about everything you can think of about their bodies, from skin color, to hair, to height, to disabilities, to scars, to weight etc., men and women both.

If you're unhealthy, that's nothing to be proud of.
