How come skinny people have to be such a--holes when they have no clue what they are talking about?

Question

I've looked at two questions now and I am really pissed off. Just because someone is overweight does not make them unworthy of things. I'm overweight which is caused by my medications. I have fibromyalgia and Osteoarthritis in my knees. To most i would appear to be healthy but I'm not. You see fibromyalgia is a serious disease that never goes away. Maybe if some of you jerks that seem to think you're god because you're skinny would look up things you would see that we don't get handicap stickers for being "fat" it is for actual medical conditions that you would never be able to handle. Believe me if you losers had this for a half hour you'd be screaming for your mommies within 30 seconds, so instead of showing your ugliness and hate why don't you people try to learn and understand things. I just wait for you to age and get sick and have people tell you that you're pathetic and shouldn't have one. I'd rather be ill dealing with this than be a pathetic loser like some of you are.

Answer 1

Maybe people are telling you something for your benefit, not in an effort to hurt you. Do not get too upset. I have PCOS and used to convince myself for a long time that I cannot loseweight. I proved myself wrong when I went on a very very very strict diet and excercise program and lost weight. So perhaps you are convincing yourself of something you are not. Perhaps you are convincing yourself that you cannot be healthy but maybe you are wrong. I am not saying this as an insult, I love god too much to try and hurt someone else, but I hope what I say is of some benefit to you.

Answer 2

I totally agree with you. Our bodies are just temporary shells we live in before our next journey in this life of ours. I am 40 and have yet to understand why people can not accept others for WHO they are and not what they are or look like. I can empithize with you. I been in both situations. I finally got to the point where I accepted me for me and the way I look. I figure if people want to talk laugh or make crackpot jokes let them. They are then only showing how moronic and heartless they are not to mention they are leaving someone else alone.

You see, I was at one point in life weighed in at 110 lbs at 5'5. Due to medical problems I was put on medication and many others cause some whacked out Dr. "thought" too much. The medication he had put me on sky rocketed my weight in a 5 month period. Never once told me that would happen. Just said it will "help" me. Yeah ok, that's why I had gone from 110 lbs up to 189 lbs total. Since then I have managed to lose some of it not quite half but close to it. That was about 6 yrs ago. Im still battling it.
When I returned back to work and everyone seen how much weight I had gained, WOW talk about a real eye opener on as to who "REAL friends" were. Needless to say like you did here I just opened up my mouth and told them all where they could go.
It's hard and its enough to anger someone. Way I look at it is let them talk their talk cause they have their own faults and nor are they perfect either in one way or another. Funny how I found a way to find fault in looks on others and point it out to them when I use to get the b.s.
I can tell you are extremely irate over people like that. I dont blame you one bit. Just know there are others out there who do have a true heart and do care and understand. Don't let the rest of them get to you. They are not worth it. Trust me I know.

Our society allows for the disdain of that which we do not approve of as a whole. An example would be "frizzy hair" it is an uncontrollable reality that effects us all but most feel is free game for comment and put down. Weight is another "fair game" target if someone is excessively underweight it is viewed with the same disgust as someone overweight - both conditions require medical attention and both are caused by many different factors but society as a whole feels it is the right of all to speak out against those suffering. Until we as a society decide that as members in concert we should offer consideration and understanding to others in different circumstance things will remain unchanged. It is unfortunate to be sure but a sad reality just the same.

Answer 4

I understand what u r saying n how u feel. (I didnt come across any qu. tho) People who r ignorant dont know that weight can come from a lot of things such as medication or thyroid. Im srry 2 hear of ur condition but I just wanted 2 say u seem very smart, strong n courageous despite ur shortcomings. U cant worry or try 2 figure out those ppl of that nature n im sure u will come across many more that live in their own little world without a clue. : - )

Answer 5

i too have fibro and arthritis along with chronic a-typical migriane. but i am a "skinny" person..many dont think of the opposite side of the coin. i have been called bulimic and anorexic, told to eat more, i have a problem and the list goes on. i have tried to never judge a book by the cover and am trying to teach my children the same thing. society has a view on what is "acceptable" and it is hard to change that. many make fun of what they donot understand. people tell you you dont look sick. so you must not be sick. it hurts even more when it is your own family saying it. My advice is to keep your head up and if any one is willing to listen try and educate them.. *ell most people dont even know what fibro is

Answer 6

I am truely sorry for your condition and realize that it has to be hell with just having it let alone the stupidity of others with no concern to others. I too have medical problems which are still unknow but what ever it is, its crippeling me. it hit me about a month or so ago and has rapidly progressed and with no help from doctors.
not even for pain.
I am 43 and since i was 10, i started having seizures and was put on dilantin which has caused me to loose all my teeth, my complexion looks as though im a school kid with bad acne. etc... etc...
i feel embarresed when i need to remove my dentures due to food getting underneath them and hurting my gums, alot of people call me pimp head or pock face etc...others that sit around with one or two newly pimples talk about it like its a disease right in front of me. some people are just ugly inside and have no consideration of others. my fingers are turning in like a claw, joints swollen and very tender, left foot and ankle are turning to the side. all within a month or so and not many people have seen me these last 2 to 3 weeks but i guarantee when they do, i'll be a cripp or lord knows what they will say but they will. sometimes i wish i had the power to voodoo on people but then thats stooping to their level and i prefer to stay above that kind of ugly.
you speak about being over weight, well im under weight and look like im a bag of weak bones and people tell me all the time how bad i look and sometimes in not so nice or polite or a caring way. i wish i was not like i am but i do love who i am and thats all that matters when it comes to those that dont love you or those with out sympathy and concern. this world is ugly and it just keeps on getting uglier. I feel for you but i think you know where im coming from and as long as you love your self (and i believe you do)then screw everyone else. i know i would like to be in better health and shape but im not and im not going to give up or allow other people to make me be ashamed of who and what i am(which is hard to do). i'll keep the hope and faith in god, the doctors, my family which has unconditional love and support and my TRUE friends. and everyone else can kiss my a##.
I love ya and your in my prayers

Answer 7

well, although i am sorry for your chronic illnesses that I'm sure you complain about to everyone that listens, i can't help but wonder why you can't sympathize with others .... singling out a group of people "skinny" and calling them "pathetic losers" doesn't make you sound very intelligent yourself...

you tell it...sister friend!
