23 Obese People Reveal The Struggles Only They Can Understand
12. Dating
1. Sweating is the first thing on my list. I sweat everywhere I go, no matter the weather, and sometimes I’m not even out of breath or tired – i just sweat. The worst time for me was on the Tube (the underground for people outside of the UK) and people were constantly staring at me.
2. Being a teenage girl. 18 years old, most people I know have had relationships except for me. I don’t mind most of the time, but it does come into my head occasionally.
3. Boys. You knew I’d get to this point eventually…well, my story is a little different. I’ve been told that I’m a great person to hang with – I accept everybody, all types, I’m funny and an overall friendly person. So, yeah, I have an ‘addictive personality’? (quoted by friend) and the thing is, when boys begin to like me, they eventually back off or get away because 1) They’ve realised I’m fat and apparently not the best girlfriend for them 2) their friends will mock them. So as soon as they realise that they’re getting closer to me…..they leave. So far I’ve had three guys fuck me over because of my weight. It hurts. A lot.
4. Buying food. I, like every other fatty, enjoys the occasional donut. So when I go to the bakery section at ASDA or TESCO i try to get something quickly and get out before people notice me. It’s hell sometimes, and most of the time they do notice me.
5. Friends. I have one best friend that I adore, and another named ‘A’ who I also love very dearly, and like I said before, I’m a very friendly person and friendly to everyone – I just feel like most of my ‘pretty’ friends are only friends with me to boost their ego, which is why over the last year I’ve kind of been on my own except for my best friend. I’m a person too, guys.
