orionpax Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 (edited) Its another case of sweeping generalization , doesnt mean that "some" fat friends are insensitive and insecure...we do "conclude" and "assume" they really are..it will only show how "shallow" we understand the human psyche... hey guys & gals...if they are"fat" will it make them "less" human? or being "fat" give everyone else the "green light" to lambast or degrade a person? think again Bottomline....its all about respect, tact and breeding It applies not only to fat people (e.g: homosexuals, intellectually challanged people, midgets, those with physical abnormalities, etc) Having a buff & sexy body is healthy, but it does NOT guarantee "superiority" over those people above their specific BMIs or having weight problems Im sure those who have "brains" will understand Edited July 20, 2007 by orionpax Quote Link to comment
tagpi Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 When you get picked on a lot, you develop a sense of insecurity. Madali kang masaktan/mapikon. Sensitive. Help by not being a bully. Help carry an overweight friend's burden by being a real person to him/her. Stop teasing. Do not fan the embers. Insecurity is developed, it is not in-born. Look at the mirror, we are not perfect. stop picking on others. :goatee: And not all horizontally-challenged people are sensitive/insecure. Look at Sinbad, Cedric the Entertainer, Bernie Mac, Fat Joe, Biggie Smalls (rip), John Goodman, Molto Mario, Drew Carrey, Kristie Alley, etc. We all have flaws. Let's count our blessings instead. :goatee: Quote Link to comment
Bakit Hindi??? Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 i dont think obesity is related to emotional sensitivity ng isang person. there might be thin person which is as sensitive as fat person as well. Quote Link to comment

hari ng sablay Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 I'm not sure if all fat people are sensitive, is this a fact from a medical survey?And if they are, I think it is because they are so conscious with their appearance, that any remark or gesture made by anybody had something to do with them being fat. (Close to paranoia.)I think sensitivity is more likely with persons wh thinks that something is wrong with them.Of course I maybe wrong. Quote Link to comment
id6230 Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Fat, Thin, Ugly , Mabaho,may aids, bakla...etc, It is a matter of how you respect others. Each one of us have our own prejudices and biases from birth. It is a matter of educating oneself in how to treat others. Quote Link to comment
dyakhardy Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 if you are physically active, then di ka magiging fat.... kaya di ka na sensitive Quote Link to comment
pphyles_core Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 (edited) Bcoz they're somewhat insecure, feeling conscious bout what the people that sorrounds them think bout em... I recall, a friend once told his supervisor that she's sexy although medyo chubby nga yung person... Ayun, mdyo na-offend yta... Tinanggal sa work yung friend ko.. Wahahaha... Moral lesson is... don't give compliments to others na hindi naman nakakatuwa or somewhat di naman totoo... If alam mo naman na wala sa katangian nung tao yung gusto mo sabihin, eh wag mo nlng batiin ng ganun... Edited July 23, 2007 by pphyles_core Quote Link to comment
lomex32 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 And what makes you right?By lying to them that they are thin? I hope you dont get into a situation when you have to give your findings/opinion/prognosis/etc... that someone is FAT and that is the problem, that is the reality they face and need to resolve Sorry, but most of your replies are WRONG!......It doesn't take much to show a little respect, right?

taboolover Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 And what makes you right?By lying to them that they are thin? I hope you dont get into a situation when you have to give your findings/opinion/prognosis/etc... that someone is FAT and that is the problem, that is the reality they face and need to resolve What makes me right is that I know how it feels when people inconsiderately call attention to another person's condition. Please take some time and carefully read the rest of my post, and those of others who have replied sensibly. We've made our points very VERY simple to understand. If I have to spell it out - THERE IS NO NEED TO STATE THE OBVIOUS FACT THAT A PERSON IS FAT. Period. If you do, it only displays your lack of breeding, class, civility and emotional maturity. It's really very easy...JUST SHUT YOUR MOUTH. Don't point out the obvious, don't patronize fat people, don't give them false flattery, don't tell them they are thin. Just treat them like normal people. Treat them the way that YOU would like to be treated. It's common sense and God's commandment, dearie. And please, a fat person's business is his/her own. Unless you are family or very close friends, you are in no position to give unsolicited advice on their "problem". For all you know, being fat may not even be a problem for them. It's NOT up to you to be their Saviour or Messiah. Don't be so arrogant to consider yourself better than anyone else. So remember - what bothers us fat folks is NOT our weight - it's having to be on the same planet with self-centered idiots and emotional retards. If you judge people by their appearance rather than by their deeds, then it is YOU who has a problem that needs to be resolved. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, it is all about RESPECT.

Quicksilver666 Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I have a best buddy in my younger years who is on the large side of tings.... Anyway he does get offended at times but it is not really related to his physical appearance. Some people who are a bit out of the society's "norms" but is surrounded by nurturing and caring people grow up to have the confidence to tackle most of life's problems and an occasional jest. I would be a hypocrite if I do not admit that I do get pissed off at times but at very rare occassions. Everyone has his/her own limits to jest. Its in your character how you cope with such things.
