It has happened to me more than it should and it could honestly break someone's spirit. Let me point out what I mean:
I posted on a group my starting photos with my stats, weight loss plan and an ask for advice and a little encouragment. I know how some of you feel about these kind of posts, but it was solely for me to finally "get it out there" and have no more exuses. Most of the comments were very empowering and motivating, there were even people with similar stats that wanted to get on this journey with me and start motivating ourselves day-to-day.
BUT there had to be people way diffrent than that. I did rant a little about my situation and that I was unhappy about my weight at the moment and...that seemed to piss them off. They wrote how me putting my stats out there was demeaning their efforts and that "me complaining about these numbers makes those with bigger ones insulted". Exuse me? Everyone at any point can feel the need to better themselves and their concerns and efforts are just as valid, even if smaller than yours. Making It about yourself to just make this other person feel bad for, well, feeling bad about themselves is hella wrong.
It only pissed me off, but I can see how someone could get sad by this, so please - try and avoid this behavior.
- sorry for poor english,
