do you believe skinny shaming is real? what is your experience with it?

___

for me personally, i think it's a thing. and i believe i've experienced it. i've always been underweight & been able to eat and eat and not gain a pound. at first it really didn't bother me until people started making fun of me for being and looking anorexic (which i'm not) and now every comment anyone ever makes about skinny not being pretty or telling me to eat something is really hurtful. what do y'all think?

update: one of the comments on here also raised the question - do you think skinny shaming is even comparable to fat shaming? why or why not?
