jesus this article is so raw

How to love a fat person. - P.S. I Love You

legit my fucking life written in there. all those things have happened to me and reading it gave me fucking emotional flashbacks

please read that if you're not a fat person, and be aware if you are that it'll probably bring up some baaaaaad memories

ah.

YEAH

that was my reaction too

"oh, she said it. out loud."

"to everybody."

I cannot sufficiently explain the dread that comes with being Noticed by someone "out of my league" in public, it's exactly as she describes it in that article. exactly.

Yeah. I mean, I can't imagine being noticed in a positive way?

it's straight-up panic, it's like your body is trying to reject reality and it starts sending FLEE, PREY signals to your brain

yyyyyyyy exactly

"this does not make sense so it must be a trick or a trap, GET OUT"

legit have had the "what if he liked you?" conversation with non-fat friends and it feels like being stabbed every fucking time

like don't make me say out loud that you KNOW that's not a remote possibility dude!!!! please do not make me say it, I PROMISE you you know it already!!

why did I read this at work, all I want to do now is go home and hide for a year
