whats with anorexic people?

Question

i dont get them,and its kinda annoying how they say theyre so fat but not at all, and how do i stop a friend whos starting!

Answer 1

People who hate anorexics - instead of seeing them as the suffering people they are - are usually insecure themselves.

Answer 2

It's because they have a distorted body image. Please don't forget it is a mental disorder, not just a being vain or shallow. It can often start off as dieting, which becomes more and more extreme and the suffer will excercise obsessively, even if they feel ill. Soon they are eating very little and eating can actually make them feel physically sick. They will often just sit and pick or play with food, but won't eat anything. They will drastically limit their calorie intake, sometimes eating nothing at all.

You have to encourage your friend to get help if she thinks she has a problem. All you can do is be there for her and give her positive encouragement. Telling her she is not fat won't really help, as reassurance is very short-lived and it makes suffers dependant on compliments and reassurance to feel good.

Take care.

Answer 4

Well, maybe we think fat people are 'kinda annoying'. Besides, it is a disease, your friend needs professional help from a doctor. That's like saying that someone with cancer is 'kinda annoying', you should be more sensitive!
