How do you feel when people make assumptions about you because you are tall but only wearing a size 4 or if you are short and wearing a size 8. Do you get fed up of the ignorance that people assume all short people are built a certain way and all tall people are built a certain way?
Like if you are tall and not at least a size 6, then you are deemed anorexic and if you are short and a size 8, people assume this is too big without any regard for build, body shape, fat distribution, muscle mass, etc.
I just find it really ignorant that people assume your body type is so dependant on height. There are short girls with wide hips and big bust and tall girls with narrow hips or small bust. Factors such as width of the pelvic region and bust size has very little if any relevance to height whatsoever.
Why is there this constant need to categorise people and make assumptions about them? How do you deal with such ignorance and start to feel good about your body size and shape?

But seeker, that is absurd. There are plenty of women wearing a size 8 or bigger due to wide hips or big boobs....they have healthy body fat levels, healthy waist size aren't in no way fat.....like I said it's just plain ignorance.

We do the best we can to teach our own kids that people come in all shapes, colors, sizes....and explain that the world places a lot of emphasis on weight, but WE don't have to. I'm one of the over 5'8'', under 120 lbs., and took a lot of crap from my OB's office when I was pregers because they thought I was trying to stay slim, and all the nurses would tease me because I couldn't gain much weight. I finally said, "would you be teasing me if I gained TOO MUCH weight?". It's a cruel, cruel world.

It's the way the world is turning. Get used to it because it's not about to change.
Just ignore those people. It's their problem not yours.
I'm 15 and I'm a size 1 or 2 but I'm 5'1

I don't think the majority of people need to look that far into it to make assumptions; most people assume that if you're a size 8 or higher, you're fat. End. Height is not taken into consideration.

How does anyone know your size, unless you tell them?
Maybe you should stop advertising what size you wear...and if they ask, just say you wear the size that fits!
