Is it normal it bothers me so much?

There are several ways people deal with this. They either change their appearance (not always the best solution as you did mention the potential of an eating disorder).

Or they laugh at themselves and pre-empt jokes by getting in first (also not brilliant because it comes across as defensive and insecure if overplayed).

Or they develop a biting sense of humour so anyone making hurtful remarks gets something back (again not the best solution because you'll just end up fearing people into silence).

Or they do what I think most of us do; develop a thick skin. I'm sure I've been called dreadful things in my life but, to be honest, I'm struggling to think of any because I just let them slide off me.

The more you let things bother you, the worse the damage someone has done to you. I know it can be tough when people are mean but if you can ignore it, rise above it, don't hold a grudge, and don't torture yourself about it, you'll give yourself a happier life.

You can't change what people say, but you can change how you let it affect you.

It isnt normal for some people but for a person with low sekf esteem it is...

About your friend's comeback, it sounds like that childish, but not ever funny, humor, whereas the guy who likes you seems to be kind of an ass for saying that. If you aren't fat or chubby and you know it then you are fine, and brush off whatever anyone says, but if you are, then just work out a little or watch a diet, thats all, do whatever will make you happier and feel better about yourself

I'd say you've made too much of chubby and they all know it's your weakness so now it automatically comes out of their mouths as a joke on you.

One of my friends is almost twice the size of me but she is sooooo curvy she is a total man-magnet!! If you feel you genuinely do need to lose weight just cut down on the carbs (bread, cakes, etc) and eat more veg etc.

Anyway, I'm sure you're lovely and as there's someone for everyone you really don't need to worry about it.

Confidence is much more attractive so just be happy with who you are and you'll be gorgeous!!

Good luck :o) and select those bfs carefully!

Don't be so hard on your self and don't take what people say to personal work on just brushing what they say off like it's nothing. I think you should talk to your friends if it really bothers you that bad tell them that it hurts my feeling when you joke about my weight. if there your true friends they should apologize and won't do it anymore. As far as the guy i think you should find someone who likes you for you and not make jokes about you being fat he obivously sounds like he has a problem with how you look even if its in a jokeing way or he wouldn't have made a joke about if knowing how you feel about being called fat. im sure your a very pretty girl just work on your self esteem ;]

you can;t worry about what people say cos hey even that guy likes you the way you are :)
