AMIT Posted April 19, 2023 Posted April 19, 2023 23 minutes ago, Thinking Of You said: Oh, absolutely. You can continue to find a problem with everything until you drive yourself into anxiety and depression, cutting yourself off from a peace of mind and happiness. Yes, it has absolutely nothing to do with the oppressive and dehumanizing system we are forced to live under since birth that is getting increasingly even worse for the younger generations and that itself uses tactics to create tension and division among the working class such as racism, sexism, ableism, lgbtphobia and... the list goes on people just are SO bored they are all individually finding something to complain about and claim that those things are affecting them in harmful ways, but it's all just projection... do you hear yourself?
fountain Posted April 19, 2023 Posted April 19, 2023 Well, yeah, because unless you are a health professional from whom they are seeking advice it really isn’t your business otherwise.
Orsay Posted April 19, 2023 Posted April 19, 2023 (edited) In general I would say its rude and uncalled for. It depends on the nature of your relationship though, if they're a very close friend where you two can be candid with each other and they are asking for advice about their health situation, then I can maybe see it being appropriate to bring up, but only if its coming from a genuinely caring place, and I would breach it gently rather than just saying "try losing weight! <3" In regards to their dating life, you're absolutely wrong that them being overweight is whats holding them back. Trust and believe that there are tons () of folks out there willing to date plus sized people Edited April 19, 2023 by Orsay

Velvet Night Posted April 19, 2023 Posted April 19, 2023 Yes, except if they ask for your advice, otherwise keep your opinion to yourself.

heckinglovato Posted April 20, 2023 Posted April 20, 2023 Am I the only one who is genuinely baffled that we are in 2023 and there are still people commenting on others' weight and saying fatphobia isn't real? Like... this still happens?
RunUpDoneUp Posted April 20, 2023 Posted April 20, 2023 I have never in my life told someone they need to lose weight for health reasons. I wish people would stop pretending to care about fat people when they know damn well what they're doing isn't what any doctor does.
HardBambi Posted April 20, 2023 Posted April 20, 2023 I’m a PT so I would never even dare to insinuate such thing. But my family doesn’t hesitate to tell my niece to lose weight even at a dinner party. I tried educating them but they say it’s out of love and because they care

Flanders Posted April 21, 2023 Posted April 21, 2023 It's about how you frame it and whether or not they seem content with it. If someone is proudly stating that they prefer being their current weight, there's no point to **** all over their confidence. However if someone you know has gained weight due to different reasons and look genuinely unhealthy, it's possible to take it up with them, but be gentle
