Earlier on, some thoughts crossed my mind which I'd like to clarrify.

Most people (especially amongst the female sex) have been accused of being "skinny" by someone else. This usually occurs when the talking person wants to diss his/her own body shape by creating a very fictional comparison between the two people, when in fact the alleged "skinny" person weighs more than them.

I get so bloody annoyed when people do that, especially if a total stick talks to you. Partly because they say "you're so skinny!" as just a figure of speech so that they can rant on about how they need to supposedly lose weight, or not eat, or whatever. Meanwhile, you're thinking then wtf are you calling me.

In a tight situation like this, the accused person would be unable to respond, because it is a lose-lose situation: Agree with that person, and seem flashy and un-modest (since the only reason the accuser said you were skinny was because they wanted their own body shape to seem horrendous), or disagree, and make the accuser feel even worse about their own body shape.

The problem lies in our perception of "skinny".

Having good body shape and being skinny are two different things.

People keep forgetting these days that having the "ideal" body shape does not mean being skinny, but looking healthy.

So next time people want to rant, they can do it by themselves in front of the mirror away from the majority of people who are perfectly happy about the way they look.




p.s. this post is definitely not about anyone in particular, but about our generation as a whole.
