What did you see then? Was it something in the wood shed?

No, I saw that selfie you sent me a few months back

It's complicated and kinda personal so I don't fully want to go into it, I don't know how much of it I've let onto the forum already either

But basically, girl comes out on facebook with some eating disorder and how difficult it makes her life. Everyone praises her, starts saying how brave she is etc etc..

I have an illness of, in my opinion, worse gravity. I told a few people about it a while back, I got ripped mercilessly and mocked for years (hell, it still happens occasionally) because "it's not a real illness", yada yada. It's just the total double standards on this that grinded my gears. I may have also left a few comments and got into some arguments..

Sounds like the "pack mentality" which is really common on FB and social groups. One person says something and 100 follow.

Well, I'm sure you know it doesn't matter what other people think, so let them talk, while you get on with enjoying your hobbies and conversing with more interesting people/good friends.

Wombles em!

Sounds just like people don't know what they're talking about.
I don't know any interesting people though I'll just settle with you guys

After all, I've just made 30+ people dislike me

Stay positive Virt and don't believe what you read on facepoop.

(:-})

I'll try

Just reread Jamie's comment. The whole bullying thing over the issue was ages back and not related to Facebook, it's just the way this girl suddenly got idolised for admitting it.. with responses such as (this is a quote) "such a traumatic and serious event that no one should suffer through"...

Well yeah, but she's not a wombles martyr.. I went to school with her and she's never been anywhere near over/underweight so I dunno...

It's just the way that's apparently more real than the sh1t I constantly go through, bullshit is it.

Quick edit to add a disclaimer, I have nothing against people with eating disorders nor am I trying to belittle them. However I have lost a friend in the not-too-far past to what I have, and have come close to losing another 2. Plus I can't do anything without half of my close friends constantly worrying over losing me because of sh1t.
And it's not worth being idolised over, it sucks and she deals with it. Good for her. If she's anything like me she probably just cant remember what it's like to not have it, since it feels so long ago.. You have no choice but to deal with what you're given.

What hes laughing at is the irony of an immigrant telling another immigrant to go back to his country.

Personally if it were me I would have laughed at the shop keeper and said " Oh the irony ".
