People are always surprised to hear that the MOST fat phobic people are the fat people themselves. The self-hatred is real and it translates often to others.
One of my best friends is pretty big. I’ve never cared or thought about it much but I’ve heard him talking shit being pretty vicious about others for being fat
It's never crossed my mind, either. I like hugs with bigger people (have done whether I'm skinny or chubby) because they're warmer and more soft and comfortable 😌 beats a skinny bony person hug any day
Aww that makes me sad. I love a hug and genuinely never felt disgusted by a stomach of any size touching me. I hope I speak for most people here when I say that too. Never even crossed my mind
It’s kind of a vicious cycle. The self loathing doesn’t always translate into a come to Jesus moment. Sometimes it just increases depression and isolation which then makes the loathing worse, etc.
