Whyfor rage?
I have no idea why this is but nothing seems to ignite my fury faster than "smug married" fat people telling me "just do X and it'll fix things!"
"Just go meet people!"
"You're just not paying attention - people totally are interested in you!"
"Just be confident!"
I hate this. HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE. Part of my brain looks at my reaction and goes "OK this is fucked up, why are you so enraged about this?" But I can't seem to stop it. It makes me nearly homicidal to hear this sort of Magical Thinking advice blithely handed to me as if there's a cure-all answer for being single. Last time I checked, that didn't work for thin people either.
(Also the assumption in those statements that everyone can do those things, is physically and psychologically able to, is amazing.)
