Didnt want to rb the post BUT as skinny person I kinda get where you're coming from. Im not "pretty skinny" but Im not fat either. Im in a weird limbo of unfit nerd skinny which is usually seen as unattractive. Pretty = skinny to society but that has standards of skinny. Im sorry youre not feeling the best and I hope one day society can fuck off and people can just exist and be loved

thank you. i don’t know how to articulate my thoughts very well, but thank you for this.

i’ve had a lot of issues with my body, both with health and self esteem. it’s hard to feel like i’m attractive especially when i know that if most people looked at me they wouldn’t see me like that either. and it sucks cus i don’t see any body positivity posts for people like me at all. because most people who make those post only think fat or other type people need them, and i understand that “skinny” is seen as typical and average. but that’s a very specific kind of skinny, there are so many others.

and even if somebody is the “right” kind of skinny, that doesn’t mean they aren’t allowed/or can’t be insecure. i think everyone deserves to feel good, to feel attractive or whatever it is they need to feel. both fat people and skinny people deserve to feel positively about their bodies, and i don’t think it should be something we divide ourselves over. cus i think a lot of people think that they have to be positive about fat people and fat people only and that anyone else doesn’t need it or shouldn’t get it. which isn’t a very good mindset.

there are lots of different bodies, big ones small ones and medium ones. and anyone who has any one of those bodies deserves to feel good in them.
