    For instance: one guy on here, who is really fit, 6 pack and all, is asking if he should run shirtless or not.

    I'm fat I would never think of running shirtless.

    So, why make fat people feel bad when you question your six pack body to go on a shirtless run?

    Something to consider. Peoples insecurities are their own.
    I'm sure Mr. Six pack meant no disrespect.

    Just because you think Mr. six pack is in great shape and could get away with running shirtless, doesn't mean Mr. six pack sees it that way.

    Being skinny does not equal being confident.
    Besides, not everything is meant to be punching down fat people's confidence and self- esteem! Just because you think you would -of course- run shirtless with such a body, it doesn't mean the person will find it naturally okay.
    I wouldn't consider this as fat- shaming or trying to make fat people bad.

    Why would you think that a person asking a question that had nothing to do with you was trying to make you feel bad? There is enough actual jerkitude in the world, no need to invent more!

    Why does it bother the guy with a six pack to run?
    It just does.

    I think the title should read people having self-esteem/self-confidence problems

    I used to be fat...sometimes it takes awhile for perceptions of yourself to change. Some days I feel fit and awesome...other days I feel like my old fat self and that's what I see in the mirror...so some fit and "skinny" people still do have fat people problems.

    I love skinny girls who complain about wearing the next size up. "Ugh! I'm so fat, I have to get a size six jeans instead of a size four." If I could squeeze into a size six, I'd celebrate with half a cake, because I have actual fat person problems- like celebrating a loss with food.

    Have you considered that the "problems" these people are experiencing aren't actually tied to their weight, so much as their self perception or perception of the world around them? Fat people and thin people can, shockingly enough, have the same "problems".

    Says the man who calls himself "The Fat Fox".

    Worry about yourself. It's a good motto for life.

    oh, here we go. skinny shaming alert!!! :grumble:

    ugh. dude, the guy who posted about running w/o a shirt has busted his freaking *kitten*, and yes - now has a bit of lag where he's still having some self-confidence issues. everyone needs support. if you need some, just ask for it instead of being a pissant.

    I have a feeling that post may have been more about other people than himself...but I didn't read the whole thread.

    Never mind, apparently it was about his own insecurities...

    My brain still hasn't caught up and it's been 5 years.....

    Lack of Self-esteem is NOT a fat person problem.

    Skinny/fit people problems: people with your attitude that believe they don't have insecurities or problems and therefore don't have feelings and aren't allowed to complain....ummmm ok
