Body shaming is not limited to the female folks alone. This a misconception most people have. Guys are also body shamed.
For me I have a pointed kind of ear and I was body shamed about it. This is so bad that up till now I don't like taking photos because of the way people has body shamed me.

We should be careful how we talk about body parts of people because it carries with it damages that takes time to heal.

Nothing can depress me.

You tell me I look like this or that and expecting me to be sad...and you see me smiling. You try trolling, I see jokes. You try insult, I read its literature. You try mockery, I see low esteem. You try oppress, I see inferiority complex and seeking validation. You try jealousy or envy, I avoid you.

πŸ™‚

I'm auto-happy.

Long life is the goal.

Several times.

Some people used to tell me my head is very small. But I turned deaf ear to them.

I didn't create myself, only my creator knows the best.

Re: Have You Ever Been Body-shamed? by fattprince(m): 10:47am On Jan 26, 2023
I've actually been called ugly but also been called very handsome. Infact people who think I'm handsome are more than the ones that called me ugly so I don't let that bother me now. And when people call me fat I just laugh because later other people will still say I'm not fat. I guess I'm created uniquely to confuse people. If you say I'm not fine you are right and if you still say I'm very fine you still aren't wrong.

I was terribly body-shamed and ignored for being lean from both genders. Some called me Alicantra.

That was in the past though as I don fatup. I discover the female folks give me attention now, because in Nigeria being fat is synonymous to having money. But those years I was lean my bank balance was wow.

Work on your body and the things you eat.... you'll only feel body shamed when you actually knows there's something wrong with your body.

Ps
Unless you have a medical condition that won't allow you work out you have reason to be recklessly fat and obesed
Re: Have You Ever Been Body-shamed? by gfelo(m): 2:00pm On Jan 26, 2023
boss thats what make you unique, the most beautiful or handsome people still have flaw when u go closer, try and overcome inferiority complex.

No mind the nonsense Oyinbo culture wey we adopt that is now causing serious troubles for our teens.

Wetin be body shaming years ago When people have nicknames based on their looks and all..and we all bant about it happily... especially in schools and neighborhood.

Nigerians have thrown away their very own old ways of social culture... everything is upside down now..that's why you see the likes of depression, suicide now rampant among teens and young adults.
Very sad.
