[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would love for people to comment on my weight.

At least they're paying attention, OP.[/quote]

OP might also need to take a step back and realize that her PSA is very her-specific and represents only a small minority of people, whereas most people (particularly women) definitely enjoy tasteful compliments about their appearance. And specifically in cases where a conscientious effort has been made to change habits (not an easy feat for anyone!) to lose weight and the effort has “paid off” in ways that the individual feels is noticeable—to NOT make a positive or encouraging comment would be akin to ignoring her or failing to “see” her or recognize her accomplishment.

On the one hand, I’m sorry for your discomfort, OP. But on the other, you must realize that your circumstance is out of the norm. And surely you aren’t suggesting that all of society adjust their social norms to accommodate your specific circumstance?

Oh wait…you probably ARE suggesting that. It’s why my children are asked to state their pronouns in a library book discussion meeting despite there literally being no need for this. [/quote]
