What do people have against obese people?[honest answers only]?

Question

im fat but im a rlly nice and caring person.

why do people think its fun to make fun of obese people?

Answer 1

People do it to make themselves feel better.  This makes me angry.  Although I am not overweight, I hate to hear people say negative things about people who are.  People are people and that's how I see them.  

A little off topic, but I'm a licensed massage therapist and everyone who gets on my table gets the same amount of respect and service as everyone else.  I get an array of body shapes and sizes and I truly do see the beauty and have an appreciation of this variety.

I really do think people who have something against anyone who is overweight, or maybe even obese, is it doing to build up their own low self-esteem.

This quote definitely seems to come to mind when I think about this, "If you have to put down others to make yourself feel better then you have no true feelings about yourself."  I'm not too sure who stated it but it is so true.

Answer 2

Well i say go on a diet

              Im not telling you your ugly but people  who are overwieght die earlier

           dont lose wieght becuase you wanna fit in with the crowd

                     lose weight becuase your heart works more than that of a healthy person

                     and dont tell me your healthy a person thats chubby is not healthy but im not bieng ignorant

             do it for yourself

Answer 3

Because some people are ignorant and they don't know how to look in the mirror first.

Answer 4

because some people need to have something (or someone) to hate to make them feel as bad as they do.

also it can be fun to make fun of fat people if the people aren't mean about it (like the ways friends make jokes about each other). it helps to have a sense of humor about yourself. i'm fat but i can laugh and make jokes at my own expense. my motto has always been 'why so serious?' (those batman guys stole that line from me, lol). sure people shouldn't make fun of you, but they will anyway. so deal with it.  

Answer 5

I do not have nothing against anyone who is over weight..i see the person for who they are not for what the look like..some people are hateful and stupid..

Answer 6

Hi =)

First of all, I would like to say I I don't find it funny - so I'm not here to make fun of you :) I'm not fat at all, but I know a few overweight people. I think you might get picked on because your "different".  Just ignore them - it might be hard put tell them to shut up - let your personality shine through. If they still mock you then they aren't worth knowing. I'll come and gett 'em!!! :D

Good luck =]

Answer 7

i don't really care about look [honestly]

as long as they have a good personality,

that's all that matters to me

Answer 8

although people make fun of fat people it doesnt make that right. but i think that they do it because they think that because your fat you dont have the same feelings so it wont hurt you like it does to a normal person. Also they do it to make them selfs feel better.

P.S  When i was younger i was very obese and kids always made fun of me so i was determined to live a healthier life and eat right and excersize. Now i work part time at the local gym helping others change there life for the better!

hope it helps!

Answer 9

people are just scared of difference

Answer 10

Because they have NOTHING better to do but to make fun of other's.

It is REALLY sad, because your know what?  

LOOKS AREN'T EVERYTHING!!

It's what's inside that counts.

Just wait till they have children and are in their 50's or 60's, let's see how they look then! lol

:-)

ps, not yelling at you, just trying to make a point.

Answer 11

I think it's because with all this stuff about being skinny, all the skinny celebrities, weight loss products.. etc. Alot of "fat" people are the nicest people I have ever met so I have completely nothing against them. People are just rude nowadays.. ignore them. They're the ones that won't get anywhere in life.

Answer 12

i am obese also and it hurts to be picked on i think people r in secure
