Why do people care about diet/looks so much?
I’ll always get angry at fatphobia and lookism because I believe in body autonomy. Like why are we constantly hating on people for being fat. As someone who’s currently fat, when I was skinny I always wondered why people pointed at the kid who super fat when they were just existing. As someone who also wears heavy makeup I overheard people talking about my face with negative comments. I just don’t understand why we live in society that cares what other people do with their bodies. There’s been times when I’ll argue against fatphobia and some would bring up unhealthy diets. In my mind, okay if someone is unhealthy with Their diet who are you to hate on them.
When you say why do people judge other people I think you really mean why do people judge women. Because you included makeup.

It's just sad that no one can escape the judgement and criticism when the...... 1 reply
As a person who cares about how I look, I want to be fit because that's how I'll feel pretty.
Yea, the society has gotten through me but I don't really mind. I'm not obsessed with dieting and I don't judge others by how they look. I just think clothes will fit more pretty if you have a great body. Plus, I can even use it as a source of income. Me...... 1 reply
I agree I don't understand it either. Where does it all stem from? Who has been changing the beauty standards all these years?? I NEED TO KNOW!! 1 reply
i can’t answer this and i don’t think anyone else can but the fact that you’re so self aware about this makes you a beautiful human. Humans shouldn’t have be held at a certain standard but no matter who says that, they will be. Just know that you have a beautiful mind and that’s all the matters. people need to think more like you and unde...... 1 reply

Believe it or not without me realizing it I've actually turned a person who does face reading among other things. I used to say that I didn't care about looks but truthfully now I do. Weather tall or short, and big and small, believe it or not I have a limit and preference for individuals. When I was younger I used to wonder why my parents and even...... 1 reply
