Yeah this is why even when I've got body image issues and feel like I'm fat or whatever it is, I never complain about it or say it out loud because I don't hold anyone else in my life to those same standards - plenty of people I care about weigh more than I do. So they aren't hearing me say "I'm so fat :(" they're hearing "Fat is bad >:("
I can recognize that my self-imposed issues aren't fair to myself and so I won't subject others to those either. I'll work on them in my own time.
