Why I don't like to be reminded of how thin I am.

I've been pretty thin since birth. Unexpectedly (for many people) I get picked on for it even now (24 years old).

Because it has no relevance to our conversation.

Because I’ve been like this from birth on.

Because I already know without you.

Because I’d like to fit in.

Because I try hard to fit in.

Because I’d like to be friends with you.

Because I’m a person too.

Because I want people to accept me for what I am.

 

Because I’ve been told uncountable times that I am weak.

Because I could not make friends back in puberty as I was lagging four years behind.

Because I’ve been mobbed in the past because of my body.

Because I find body-shaming to be harmful.

Because I don’t want you to judge me for what I am.

Because it hurts to be told that you are not what you should be.

Because I don’t want my girlfriend to feel weird or bad about herself.

Because I don’t want to feel bad about myself.
