Do you feel comfortable hanging out with thin people

I know this isn’t right but I feel self conscious and sometimes I would avoid making friends with super attractive girls. But I have seen this happen to me too , girls that are much bigger than me don’t seem to want to hang out with me. Have you experienced something similar ?

Try not to approach friendship like it’s a hotness competition. Chances are, you’re thinking about it way more than they are. Surround yourself with people who lift you up. Who call you beautiful regardless of your shape or weight. Because that’s what you deserve. Thin people do that all the time, if you listen and give them a chance. Don’t let other people being more fit be a deterrent for making friends with them. We’re all on our own paths.

I dont really have friends and prefer it that way. Less drama. But I can appreciate the apprehension of making friends. I have a whole bunch of acquaintances and people who know me by face at the gym. Lots of friendly nods and hi how are you, you gonna be in combat thursday? But no real friends. My best friend is my Fiancé and partner of 9 years. He is infuriatingly thin. Though he hates it cos he can't GAIN weight (he is medically underweight actually) I can totally get the self conciousness though. I like to go out with him, but the STARING is AWFUL!

I don't avoid skinny people but I've noticed I'm prettier than the skinny ones and the fatter ones are more attractive than me. Kind of a happy little medium. I will tell you this though. I would not hang out in a bathing suit with them. That's when I start comparing. As weird as that sounds.

I always used to be the slim one with my friends, as I started getting bigger I know longer felt comfortable hanging around with people that were smaller than me, although I’ve lost most of the weight I gained i still don’t feel comfortable be around slimmer people than me because it’s not what I’m used to.

I personally have no problem hanging out with healthy-looking people. The last thing I want to do is in any way contribute, be it deliberate or accidental, to the fat acceptance culture.

Hanging out with thin people only gets awkward when they start telling you that they are gaining weight and becoming fat. And you are sitting there with your fat self wondering, "dude what the hell. Can't you see my double chin, my belly fat and my big butt" 

My closest friends I hang out with most are all smaller then me, they are the lucky ones who can eat and eat and not gain occasionally I get self conscious but that's all on me they don't do anything intentionally for me to feel that way so I only let it occupy my thoughts for a moment or two then I let it go.

Normally I don't pay attention to that but I have in the past had a girl who I thought was my best friend attach herself to me and would always want me to go places with her. I found out after I moved away she had me around because when we would go out guys would notice her more when she was with me. She even told me that was why we were friends.

U would be surprised how a lot of thin people might feel the same about u... perhaps ur more confident in ur self than them, u have a prettier face, u dress nicer... but the thing is... who cares... we all breathe the same air, came in this world the same way and go the same way... just be greatful for life and enjoy it... make friends with everyone...

I don’t have very many friends. I can’t deal with judgmental people, so I keep my circle very small. I have always been the big girl in the group and I never really noticed and still don’t. I do notice when I’m the only having to watch what I eat while all my friends eat whatever they want and look fabulous but once you are obese you can never eat the same way as a skinny person so I’ve come to terms with it. It does suck really bad.

 My husband is average size but on the verge of being overweight but it’s the first time in 6 years that it’s the case. He has always been super skinny. He is really my person and most of my other friends are out of state. Everyone on my husbands side is thin so I definitely stick out like a sore thumb when we are all together. I can keep up if not better than them like when we go to water parks or amusement parks etc.

Yes I do , I always feel fat and uncomfortable. But then it is my own fault. I love food and hate exercise, I also have fibromyalgia and thyroid issues. So I get very stressed and hurt a lot. It even is a task to just to sweep my house. I also had cancer 4 years ago and got sickly skinny to now thyroid issues and gain 50 pounds. So yes skinny people and beautiful woman make me very uncomfortable. And living at the beach doesn’t help.

I'm not even especially big anymore, but I'm still sad that of every roommate I've ever had (4 years of college, 2 years abroad) I've always been the fattest one. No one has ever said anything about it and it doesn't change my opinions of anyone I've lived with or been friends with, but it's not great for my self-confidence.

I've experienced a twinge of jealousy when meeting ultra beautiful women or women who are in much better shape and I think it's something that a lot of people feel. HOWEVER, their good looks or fitness has absolutely nothing to do with me and if I'm feeling that way I need to look inward about what is making me insecure and what I can do to better myself in my eyes. Those people are people too, nothing more or less. I think that people will miss out on a lot of wonderful friendships if they avoid people just because they're thinner, in better shape or more attractive.

I have missed ot on so many social events because of my self consciousness. No more. I have realized my real friends love me for me and don't judge my pudge! Enjoy life. Stop missing out!!

It makes me self aware, bit insecure. Doesn't affect my friendship in any way. It affects my state of mind, but in a way that it motivates me to look better and work on it. It can be really good. With my bigger friends, usually it's comfortable but unhealthy. We eat and snack every time we hang out and we don't pay attention on portion sizes. It can be more productive for you in terms of weightloss to be around people who can be inspiration.

My boyfriend is thin and can eat anything without gaining. I usually don't think about it but every once in a while we'll be out and I'll see people look at us and I get self conscious. Twice someone has flirted with him in my presence. It makes me feel like he's way out of my league or something but then I just turn that crappy feeling into motivation to lose the weight.

I don't think is about having "slimmer or prettier friends" is about being comfortable in the company of other people and how they make you feel. With that being said I indeed had a "friend" in the past that made me feel bad about my appearance and a lot of it was because she was fit and the typical "pretty girl" who was aware of her prettiness and liked to have a DUFF around her... there are a lot of girls like that...UNFORTUNATELY.

I do to an extent. Like halloween is this weekend and all my cute tiny friends want me to go out and party. Half of them will be in skimpy costumes and I just don't feel comfortable enough with myself yet. Just like going to the beach etc. Or them taking a picture and then me asking to delete it because I look too fat yet they keep it because they look good in it. Or going to the gym id rather go with someone my size. It's not them really, it's just me not loving myself & I guess I just get jealous seeing how confident and happy they are with themselves. It is weird but I get it.
