Listen up, everyone.
It’s high time we put an end to the misguided notion that commenting on strangers’ bodies is acceptable. When your remarks are solely based on their appearance, you are displaying a lack of understanding. You don’t know the full story.
- Don’t jump to conclusions about their eating habits or exercise routines. You have no idea.
- Don’t speculate on any health issues they might be dealing with. You don’t know.
- Don’t assume you understand how their body affects their life, positively or negatively. You don’t know.
- Don’t make judgments about how they reached their current shape or size. You don’t know.
- Don’t presume to know whether they are happy, healthy, or self-confident. You don’t know.
- Don’t think you understand their aspirations regarding their body image. You don’t know.
- Don’t assume they lack a fulfilling, vibrant life. You don’t know.
If you find yourself looking at someone and assuming any of these things, it’s time for a reality check.
The truth is, your concern isn’t about their health; it’s rooted in your personal discomfort with their size. You might claim to care about their well-being, but deep down, it’s about your preferences for how people should look. This is not about you.
Let’s be clear: being larger, curvier, or plus-sized is perfectly okay. It’s essential to stop shaming individuals who don’t fit your personal standards of beauty. They are not here to cater to your tastes.
And please, refrain from derailing conversations about body image with comments about “skinny shaming.” That’s not the issue at hand. It’s like barging into an intensive care unit and shouting about your own past illnesses. This discussion is about recognizing the oppressive societal standards that dictate what is considered beautiful, strong, or worthy of love.
We deserve to exist in whatever form we choose. You can hold whatever opinions you like, but keep them to yourself. Do not project your biases onto others. It’s crucial that we don’t express these judgments in front of our children. We need to cultivate a new generation of empathetic, kind, and loving individuals who don’t judge others based on their physical appearance.

Body positivity should not be a fleeting trend; it should be a fundamental aspect of life. We have a long way to go, but we can work towards a future where everyone is appreciated for who they are, not merely the size of their bodies.
So remember, unless you’re discussing your own body, you don’t know anything at all.
Here’s to nurturing a generation of kids who love and accept themselves for who they are!
