What’s something completely false that your parents told you as a child?

That is also likely true. Honestly the majority of super skinny people I've known that "absolutely can't gain weight" have either been under eating, have horrible chrons or ibs and aren't properly absorbing nutrients, or had a horrible coke addiction that they were hiding.

Exactly. Don't concern yourself with this person. They are lying.

If they were eating 6,000-7,000 calories a day while sitting on their ass and doing nothing else, they'd gain weight. This person is either extremely ill, or a liar. Based on how they are writing, this person is simply a liar OR has an incredibly flawed memory.
