[Shower thought] American Idol and fat confidence I found myself wondering today... why do these people who are god-awful at singing go onto shows like American Idol??? Then once they're booed off the stage by the judges, they tell the film crew that the judges don't know what they're talking about, they're a fantastic singer, etc. That's when it hit me - these people, despite having a voice that sounds like nails on a chalkboard, are told how great they are by all of their friends. They honestly BELIEVE they are good singers, and can compete in or even WIN a talent competition. Fats have the same level of denial. They fish for compliments, and have all their friends tell them shit like, "you're not fat" and "you look fierce!" and "that crop top looks GREAT on you!" They believe these comments to be the truth, since so many people are saying it, they MUST be true! And then, when they're confronted with the harsh truth from the judges (shitlords and shitladies) they say we're just bullies and we don't know what we're talking about.
