Attention Seekers & Excuses This is a bit of a rant. I just really want to get this off my chest. One thing that really gets me about the obese are the ones who essentially demand attention is paid to them by throwing out some buzzwords. They want to stand out, be different, and be coddled for things like PTSD, eating disorders, disability, problems that "trigger" them, and being LGBTQIA.  I wanted to let you all know something as someone who has to deal with all five of the above: it's something I tend to keep to myself, and so do other people. Many of you probably know someone who is LGBTQIA but you don't know their status as it never came up in conversation. Hell, most people don't know I am for that reason. Whenever I am triggered, I take a moment to compose myself and get on with whatever I was doing. Disability is the hard one, but I don't blame my physique on my disability; I have the body I built despite my disability.  I just hate the excuses, the seeking for attention. They use things that are real and really affect parts of the population, but they abuse the system. They inappropriately use human kindness. They inappropriately use human empathy. This is all they know how to do: inappropriately use things around them, like they eat inappropriate amounts of food.  I'm already different from the population because I deal with those things I mentioned; with obeasts using them as cries for attention or excuses for their obesity, I feel like I can't talk about these problems when they bother me. I feel like people will judge me as seeking attention. The obeasts demanding safe spaces for their bullshit took away the safe spaces of actual sufferers.   Be it fashion, a party, or mental/medical health issues, fat people ruin everything.
