Her post is way too long, but I can see where she's coming from.I dunno, I agree with Abra's take. Nearly every woman does the "I'm fat" thing at some point. It's not a personal thing or directed toward actual obese slobs. Yr Fat Friend makes everything about herself and honestly never seems to care that her friends have their own problems and insecurities. She just seems like a miserable, self-centered twat.
During my teens and twenties people like Kate Moss and Nicole Richie were the thing, so it was really easy to feel like a whale. Fishing for compliments in any situation is irritating, I agree, but it's also possible to be normal or even thin and genuinely feel inferior, fat, and gross.
I'm 5'3". Sometimes I feel short and complain about it. If I did that in front of the chick I know who's 4'8"...I bet she'd be annoyed. Or if I complained about things being slightly blurry without glasses in front of someone who can't even seen their glasses when they're not wearing them. If you're really outside the norm and have to deal with that all the time, it's aggravating when people who aren't talk about their just-outside-the-norm problems--what do they know about struggling? This isn't something she should express to her friend because it is normal for women to talk like this, but she's also not wrong for disliking it.
