Not OP but I don't think it matters. I have lost weight intentionally and still did not want to discuss it. It's something personal for my health and I am not looking for compliments or congratulations from anyone.

It matters in how you respond, potentially. Nobody is suggesting you discuss it, but if someone posts asking for how to address, the why makes a difference.

I really don't understand when we all become so uptight and thin skinned about every conversation. Don't notice the weight loss? People are upset. Mention the weight loss, people are upset.

It's tiring.

This is so annoying - I hoped we would be past talking about people this way in 2025. Change the subject. if they don't take the hint, say that you don't want to talk about it and change the subject again.
