Notes:

This is not your forum to identify and call out specific people just to call them assholes. Call out general actions you find reprehensible, mod ability/inability, that kind of stuff, but once you get into what basically amounts to 'this person is a stupid bitch and here are some icons/an lj layout/add. info to identify them with' - no.

I think thin people who talk about their weight constantly are not only irritating, but completely thoughtless. I'm 250 pounds, and I can't even begin to count how many times I've had a much, much thinner friend bitch to me about the 5 or 10 pounds she's having trouble losing. It's like...really?? It's not even that I have this terrible self image or hate myself or am jealous or anything like that, I just think it's rude to complain about having it sooooooooo hard to someone who clearly has it worse off (yeah, they have 10 pounds to lose? I have 100, thanks). That's like me complaining about how my trust fund check hasn't come in yet to a friend who's on in debt up to their eyeballs.

What bothers me is when a thinner friend complains about how fat and therefore ugly/gross she is right in front of me.

Uggghh, yeah, that's even worse. It's like, if they think they're that bad, I can only imagine what they must secretly think of me.

I can't speak for girls who are naturally skinny, but when someone has an ED, they are not looking at their body in any kind of perspective. a 110 lb eating-disordered girl freaking out about gaining 5 lbs is going to see that as a huge issue. she sees her weight and body image as a problem on par with the struggles of her overweight friends.

I know it's hard to listen to, but it's not coming from thoughtlessness, it's coming from an illness.

that said, there are plenty of non-disordered skinny girls who are just arrogant and rude as fuck, and in that case I agree 100% with your comment.

Yeah, I was definitely talking more about just regular skinny girls. Though I'm sure there are plenty of girls with EDs who are also completely selfish and rude (and plenty who aren't, just like any other grouping of girls).

Meh, I think it's not as simple as you pretend it is. I'm about 94 pounds right now which is the heaviest I've ever been and I frequently feel bad about my weight, my stomach, my chest. Eventhough I'm classified as severely underweight and need to go to regular checkups due to my anorexia even now. Maybe you feel that you have it worse off, and maybe you do, but having a BMI under 14 and still wanting to lose weight isn't fun either. Neither is not wanting to eat, but still wanting to gain weight because you know you're gonna die if you continue the way you do now. When I get better and start gaining, like I am right now, I frequently bring up concerns. How my stomach is protruding, how my chest is getting bigger causing it to be harder for me as a trans man to be stealth, how my thighs are touching and they feel disgusting etc. When we complaing about ourselves it really isn't about you.

I'm sorry that you're struggling, but my comment wasn't really about people who have EDs. I do actually have a friend who has dealt with ED and has talked to me a little about it before, and I don't feel like it's the same thing as a just a regular thin person complaining about weight.
