“Don’t mind the haters” is an advice that’s easier said than done. Often, people always have negative things to say about those who do not fit the societal mold. Too fat, too skinny, too dark, too light, too average.
When people criticize your looks, remember that it is not your fault. You cannot control what others will say, but you can control how you react and respond to the situation. Build self-confidence strong enough that you do not falter when people make comments about how you look. Let them know that they have offended and hurt you, and try to stop engaging with them. Of course, this doesn’t happen overnight. It starts with the little things you do everyday to cultivate your life, personality, and self-worth.
QOTD: How do you respond to fat shaming? Do you choose to call them out or ignore them instead?
