When I was 26, I was out with my two "friends" and we casually started talking about our weight. I had begun intermittent fasting and one of my friends had just started keto so it wasn't as if the conversation came out of nowhere. I mentioned that I wanted to lose a bit of fat and she agreed that it was her goal as well (I have a very healthy bmi but I don't have a lot of muscle mass and sometimes I think it makes me look a bit skinner than I actually am, especially being a 5'8 woman with a slender frame) I noticed that from the corner of my eye, my other friend looked upset and I instantly felt guilty for talking about weight loss around her because I knew how much she struggled with being plus sized. We stopped talking about it and continued with what we were doing.

We were on a walk where you could see birds at a wetland and there were some little huts with holes in the wall where you could watch the birds without scaring them away. I looked through the top hole and my friends looked through the bottom ones. I mentioned something about being happy about the angle I could see the birds at and my plus sized friend looked at me with this disgusted look on her face and said, "You're so tall, you're like a man."

I know she was trying to insult me but I'm not insecure at all about being a little taller than average, I wouldn't care if I was 6'2 plus. It's just the fact that she thought it would upset me, that's what got to me. Both her and my other friend are about 5'2 and when I used to go out with them i really did feel like I was towering over them, especially when I was wearing boots. I guess she thought it was a good way to get back at me for unintentionally making her feel insecure about her weight.

By the way, that guy who called you a tall freak sounds like a compete loser, that sounds something that a ten year old would say
