I want to make this clear that this is NOT a rant at these people, but rather at the society that makes them this way.
I've recently encountered a number of facebook posts from friends that I find deeply depressing. One is an athletic girl who is constantly bemoaning how overweight she is. Now, I haven't seen her in a while and I don't know exactly how much she weighs, but she doesn't look like she's changed since she lives here and she was a muscular girl on the low end of an average build back then.
Another is an attractive girl who always posts about how unattractive she is.
These are just a couple of a constant stream of friends who always bemoan how "fat" and "ugly" they are. Most of my friends are average weight and I don't think I know anyone who is hideous (if you can even define hideous...I don't think you can). They're always women. I think they mean it.
I used to feel really bad about myself as well but I sort of snapped out of it. Now I just feel so horrified at how we all feel about ourselves. What could we accomplish if we didn't feel that way?
