Is it normal for people to be so concerned about others weight?

36% Normal
12 Comments

Obviously obesity is a huge problem and health concern, but I feel like people point that out to others to much. Like when someone who is overweight posts a photo trying to be confident in their looks, someone sometimes even strangers always points it out. And that part that bothers me is that you know that all of these people doing this aren't actually worried about that persons well being/health. If they were they probably wouldn't spout rude things that could make the person hate themselves, depressed, possibly even suicidal. You don't even know why that person's overweight in the first place, there are plenty of causes other than being lazy/overeating. Like it's fine to be concerned about other's health, but if your comment is rude or isn't actually about their well being then shut up? Let people be confident with themselves, because changing isn't easy.

    "posts a photo trying to be confident about their looks"

    What do you mean with this? Basically anyone that puts them self out there on the Internet is going to be judged... Even drawings get judged and rightfully so wouldn't you say... If it's crap how will someone ever improve if you're just blowing sunshine up their ass, to spare their over sensitive feelings?? if someone is embarrassed about being fat then they should do something about it. "Changing isn't easy" sure, with an attitude like that which just encouraging to give up

          Don't make rude comments about people's weight, especially if you're not actually doing it because you care about their health.

            Why not just "don't make rude comments at all"?

    I get what you mean. Too many people are hateful about others' looks. The hatred towards fat people is ridiculous. It's not your damn business what size another person is.

    I agree. On this site for example, it's ok to do almost any perverted activity or have crazy habits but if you're fat, oh you suck... Some people are happy being cross dressers some are happy being her kits and some are happy being fat. Fat isn't a crime!
