I'm the fat friend of my group : PlusSize

So I danced, I smiled, I pretended not to care… but inside? I felt humiliated. Like, why am I even here?

"I don't go to the club to get hit on, I just want to dance" narrative absolutely destroyed

/u/xxcheekycherryxx lose weight

It blows my mind that people can write novels about how awful it is to be fat and then... just keep overeating??

when you don't fit into their perfect little mold of beauty.

that's right, u don't fit into the perfect little mold of beauty.

She must be pretty fricking big to not have a single guy get drunk and shoot his shot.

>I wonder how OP's friends would feel if they went through their entire lives with no positive attention, no compliments, and no men trying to interact with them. Straight-sized women often cannot even comprehend the reality that many fat women experience. And I acknowledge that too much attention can also be an issue, but receiving none at all comes with a unique pain. You never feel good enough. You never feel seen. You feel worthless. I can tell myself all day that I am beautiful, but I am 35 years old and have never been in a relationship because no man has ever shown interest in me, flirted with me, complimented me, or wanted to know me. I have never received any kind of validation. Then, when I speak about the pain of this, I am accused of centering men and just being desperate for external validation. I reject that. We, as human beings, do want to be loved, affirmed, and seen. I believe these are basic needs. None of us should be shamed for struggling to adjust to a world that renders us invisible and tells us we are unlovable.

it is incredible just how close this is to your average moid incel screed, down to word choice. has she even considered that it's her personality? men aren't a monolith
