ONTD, does it bother you when people talk about your body?

Comments

[pilotis]

I've fluctuated in weight quite a bit in the last 6ish years so the comments are always there, ranging from "omg you're so bony" and "u look sick" to "u got a bit of belly now, huh?" and "u look fuller.. b-but not in a bad way!!". My family is definitely bolder than that and will just straight up ask me for my exact weight and tell me whether I need to lose/gain and exactly how much in their opinion.
I think what bothers me is that these people will comment as if you're not already fully aware of what you look like, like bitch im the one carrying this body and seeing myself everyday. u don't really need to point it out several times to someone, even if you "mean well" which I think is bullshit anyway. It's more self serving and you just want to get your opinion out there.

Yeah, I hate that. Like, I live in this body, you think I'm not aware of how it looks?

Yessssss my extended fam has a bad habit of this, but they only say it after my weight has changed.

When I gained a little weight after being really thin: “I’m so glad you put on a few pounds; you looked so sick before. I was worried about you!”

When I lost weight due to stress after being my heaviest: “There’s the amalgamade I know!! Thank goodness you lost weight; it really didn’t suit you. You look so much prettier now.”

It’s like damn, how much do y’all talk about my weight behind my back? And if you were so concerned but said nothing, how in the fuck is it helpful to bring it up now in this backward ass compliment? Maybe just stfu about my weight always?? Besides, they’d be complimenting my current weight not realizing I may have gotten to that state as a result of my mental health or in a way that affects my physical health. Ugh. Thank goodness for my mom. She always asks me how I’m feeling regardless of my weight bc she actually cares in general and just wants me be well.

Yes, I hate it. I also really hate it when someone comments on anything I am eating - even in the most innocuous “that smells good” kind of way. I feel like I’m being watched or judged or something, I don’t know.

OMG YES. this has been something that has bothered me for AGES when i'm at work heating my lunch or whatever it is i'm doing, i get SO anxious when ppl comment on it or asking what i have etc and i couldn't put my finger on why it bothered me but you're totally right

[angriest_girl]

I know it’s just this thing that people have where they can’t stand a silent space and they just have to make small talk about ANYTHING, but I swear not a day goes by when someone in my office doesn’t make a comment about my lunch. I don’t even eat in the tea room - I go in there to heat it up and then take it back to my desk, but they always get me while I’m waiting for that damn microwave. I just hate it so much.

[glitterslugs]

i feel like you and i have similar workplaces bc i swear we've talked about other issues we have in common lmao. my absolute hated comment is "that looks healthy" LIKE??

[_allbutgone]

This genuinely made me so sad when I saw it. Commenting on someone's weight is unecessary. That, and commenting on what/how much food someone is eating. That shit will straight up make me rage.

I'll tell you what I hate. One of my reports has a habit of commenting on anything they see that's new- oh, you're wearing a headband. Oh, you have a new plant in the background. Oh, you're wearing a sleeveless top and I'm wearing a sweatshirt. And then they can't get over that I grew my hair out, every fucking day, "your hair is getting so long." That's what happens when you don't cut it for a year. FFS. I wonder how they would respond if I said, "Oh, you're wearing an unflattering shade of lipstick. Again."

[lyra_loo]

Stfu about everyone's bodies, please!!!
