I am so sorry to hear that you are struggling right now. I hope you know that you are not alone and that the way stress, anxiety and pain manifest physically can vary on each and every body.due to stress and just because smaller bodies are more culturally accepted than bigger bodies does not mean that your pain is invalid and it doesn’t mean that anyone has the right to comment on your body, even if they think they’re giving you a compliment.
I also get that it feels awkward and maybe even a little aggressive to reply to a “compliment” with, “please never say that again.” I also get not wanting to share the details of your mental health struggles in casual conversation with company you may not 100% trust at this moment in time. It’s like when, they don’t really mean it, right? It’s just a pleasantry; they’re not expecting you to launch into your life story.
Explain to your confidant that you have been going through a very hard time and a smaller body is a side effect of this struggle. Explain that you know your friends mean well with these comments but it actually just makes you feel self-conscious about these struggles. Have your friend report back to your group of friends privately. Anyone worth their salt will self-correct very quickly. If not, take note of the true colors they're revealing.
How about in general we stop commenting on women's bodies...
