Some days i just dont even wanna leave my room, i'm 19 and feel like my social life has already diminished i've always been on the skinny side, people are too busy criticizing 'obese' people they forget about us, But people being cold and ignorant as they usually are will always look at your flaws no matter what eventually when fat people are enough to look at and feel good about themselves its us the 'skinny people', I mean i know i'm skinny i'm not retarded people 'close' to me know i eat but still every day they make me feel like i'm ugly i know i'm not ugly but i know i'm not exactly a healthy weight either, trust me if i could change it easily i would..being skinny is just as hard as being obese some people just dont gain weight quick like others and yes we get down and depressed also i dont know what gives people the audacity to say there 'normal' and give them the right to critique others where not all perfect no matter how conceited some are, i'm so scared of going out there starting again finding real friends because i'm in an environment where i never feel good about myself i feel like nothing will change and i'm so sick of the same un-original words of advise, 'your young there is plenty of time'...'eat more work out you'll eventually gain weight' some days i just want to fall into a black whole and never come out i dont want to die but i dont feel alive i want to change but i feel beat down i dont wanna go this way i dont want to let people critique me i want to be able to say..yes i'm skinny and i eat so how about you mind your damn business you piece of sh*t. its hard to know here (the internet) is the only place i can say what i want and not be looked at like i'm in denial, i'm in denial i know i'm skinny like i said but i dont need some dumbass to point it out either...so please next time to criticize someone just know that some people do listen and it does hurt and no matter how hard they block it out it builds up God gave us all life we came into this world the same way were all going to go the same way dont ever hurt a persons feelings.

Is It Normal?

    People do me the same way, and they say things like I weigh only 85 pounds or whatever, when I actually weigh between 135 and 145 usually. I've had my share of digestive issues and I was born into a genetic line which included an uncle that was born with his intestines on the outside. Honestly, I feel lucky that I wasn't born like that. I've learned to filter the advice people give me for the valuable bits of info, and ignore the rest.

    Don't let people tell you who or what you are. You've had to live with yourself for your entire life, and you should know better than anyone else what your current state of life is, what your strengths are, and what your weaknesses are. Don't worry about what "they" think of you, worry about what you think of yourself.

    And yes, if it comes down to it, straight up tell them to mind their own damn business and tell them how nosy they are. Maybe they'll shut up then.

    You know, i only way like 80 pounds but i still have friends that accept me.
    tell people how you feel and maybe you will find that they don't think your ugly. Don't judge a book by it's cover. Their covers may say that they think you are ugly and too skinny, but if you open them up and take look inside it says something like how much they care about you. And if they think your ugly because your under weight, then then they are full of bullsh*t.If so,meet new people. If there is a god, then there are people out there willing to accept you for who you are. It may take you a while to realize this like i did, but God most definatly exists.

    What you say about being underweight being as hard as being overweight is very true, and it's sad that our society is so obsessed with people being 'too fat' rather than 'too thin'. So the negative side is lack of support and understanding, and having to search the web really hard to find anything about gaining weight other than muscleman sites.

    But look at the bright side! Being statisistically underweight is seen as a good thing in this crazy, mixed up world. So, boy or girl, put on your skinniest pair of jeans, get out of that bedroom and wiggle your scrawny butt - people will fancy you!

    Also (I know you didn't want to hear this, but still) - give it time. You'll fill out eventually, unless you completely fail to deal with your demons. Do short, intensive workouts - thin and muscley is good, but thin and flabby is bad!

    Things change, sooner or later. I know what you're talking about.

    And find yourself a hobby to get out of your room and away from the people telling you all these stressful things. The stress is probably not helping anything, because it's probably making you feel much more ignorant than you actually are, because they keep stating things you already know.
