(English isn’t my first language so I apologize beforehand for any grammatical mistakes). I know this topic has been posted dozens of times on this sub reddit but I never really realized how different people treat me after losing weight. I’m not by any means a super model but I’ve been told I’m good looking after I lost 40 lbs. the same people who ignored me and wouldn’t give me the time of day treat me like I’ve been their friend for a long time. When I was obese, girls wouldn’t even look in my direction. I got a girls number yesterday and I didn’t even ask for it. And the worst thing about it is that she sat next to me in high school. And that was 2 years ago. What gives? I’ve been looking forward to being treated better because I’ve read numerous posts about this topic and now that I’m nearly at my goal, it feels like people are just really shallow. I’m a quiet person and I have social anxiety and don’t really start conversations with people, but with the weight loss, I don’t even have to try because people start conversations with me. Ik I should be happy that I’m treated better and I am but those lingering thoughts in the back of mind that keep on telling me that those people would not talk to me if I was 40lbs heavier. My anxiety has actually gotten worse because I’m not sure if people would actually like me if I was still obese. My personality hasn’t changed a bit, I still lack confidence, but my social group has only gotten larger since. I honestly feel like a fraud and idk why. Anybody else going or went through the same issues I am going through?
