why does it feel like people think body shaming is okay unless it’s about weight?

Post Body

like how are people so comfortable criticising other aspects of a persons body? this is small but i have wider thumbs and it has been one of my absolute biggest insecurities because i can’t do anything about it or hide them. and yesterday this girl i recently met pointed to my thumbs and said „among us“ this exact situation has happened to me at least four times and it’s been commented on even more than that. its so stupid but i get so upset over it. i constantly hide my thumbs. when i’m reading in class, when i’m texting, when i’m writing, etc etc. it’s not a funny joke. but it doesn’t stop there, people love to shame other parts about people like noses, hands, body hair, even genitalia. especially genitalia. „do you have an innie or an outie?“ „is it small?“ etc. this is something that really bothers me. and i’m so sick of hiding something so stupid like my fucking thumbs because people love to say something about it the second they think it.

Comments

Omg that’s so rude! When people make comments like that, I like to respond with “why would you say that?” Or “that was really rude.” The other people you were with can acknowledge when people are rude and likely agree (if not, they’re not worth hanging out with), but may not be inclined to speak up. Usually just pointing it out makes them feel awkward or embarrassed and it’s easier to move on.
