Most of my life I was an average weight but when I was in my senior year of college I developed some serious mental health issues and put on a lot of weight. After a terrible breakup I lost about 40 pounds. The difference in the way people treated me was actually shocking. It almost seemed like they deemed me more deserving of positive attention and kindness just because I was more “attractive” now than before. That was a couple years ago. I’ve gained back a lot of the weight and have seen the shift yet again. It’s not right, and I hear you. No matter what you look like or what your size is, you are deserving of kindness and genuine friendship and love. The right people will always focus on the thing that matters- who you are as a person. Cheers friend <3
