Recently I got addicted to tiktok. I love watching dancing, weight loss, funny videos. On a rare occasion, I commented on a video of a bigger girl dancing around her house with a big gaping hole at the crotch of her pajama pants, shaking her leg to flop the loose piece of fabric. I said "I aspire to be this confident in myself" to which I meant being confident enough to laugh at myself for not caring about my undergarments being shown for the world to see.
Then someone called me out, saying I meant it as a backhanded compliment and that the person shouldn't have confidence because she was bigger. Apparently, whenever someone would say "I wish I was this confident" on a bigger person's tiktok, some random person would always reply saying they mean it as a backhanded compliment and if it were someone skinnier, people would comment something else.
Honestly, I think that kind of thinking is ridiculous and they're reading too much into it. I believe the person who comments about the bigger person being confident doesn't mean it as something backhanded, it's the one who calls it a backhanded compliment who thinks that since they're the ones who took it the wrong way in the first place.
But I'd like to hear some of your personal intake on this whole thing since I rather not be close-minded about this and want to see it from different perspectives.
