I absolutely hate it. So f*cking much. My ED on the other hand...loves it. So f*cking much.

I 100% understand where you are coming from and it's really shitty.
I know some people would kill to be called small or tiny...but eventually it becomes your #1 defining feature and as u said... it's very trapping.

I met a new client (I'm like a caregiver of sorts) the other week, and his elderly dad was in the room and said to me: "I wish I had your weight."
Like...what??? Huh?? When anyone starts to comment on my body I just try to tune them out, but damn that caught me off guard!

I haven't gone above 105 in the past how many ever years, so "small" is what everyone knows me as. My fiancé literally calls me his "pretty little lady". His mom even calls me little lady. His dad calls me lil *insert my fake "rapper" name that the internet would not appreciate*. My parents...grandparents...everyone.

There is nothing else to my identity anymore. Guess I got my wish right?
Ha. Not.

 

for me personally, I don't see myself as beautiful, or anything else along those lines. And so I need to be seen as the small one because if not that, I'm nothing. *shrug*

 

Maybe we’re also hyper focused on people calling us small, and it sticks with us more than if someone says something else about us. Just thought of that too, but yeah it sucks.

 

I hate any comments about my weight, but I like that people see me skinny and that this is something that defines me. I don't know if this is making any sense to you.
Being always skinny is part of who I am and who I want to be for the rest of my life and I am proud of that, but I would prefer to hear less comments about my weight.

 

I cannot stand people commenting on my weight anymore. When I first started losing years ago, I loved it; now it completely irritates me. It's just like a broken record, "you lost weight," "you are so tiny," "you don't need to workout," "you should eat more." Ugh! Can't we talk about any thing else? This is already my own internal dialog all day long, sometimes I want a respite from the compulsion when I am around others.

 

i hate it.. i have no personality

 

hate it. My parents have called me skinny-mini since i was young. it makes me feel like im not me unless im the thinnest girl in the family. I hate people talking about my body. no matter the situation. no matter if they're trying to compliment me. nothing makes me quite as angry as unsolicited comments about my body

 

i'm not really known for being "small" in general, but i am comparatively smaller than the people that tend to be around me. they always mention how small i am and it always excites me. they really hype up my ego tbh. it just makes me want to lose more. my identity already heavily relies on my looks since i don't look "typical" around here. so being smaller has really stuck on me.

 

I always wanted to be called small. But my whole life I've been at a healthy weight, and I have a pretty large frame, so even if I would be really skinny, I won't be small because of my frame and my height. I just wanna loose this weight finally. I'm sick of loosing and gaining the same 20 lbs for the past 4 years.

Idk, I just really want to have a feeling that someone is protecting me. Even though I have nobody to do that, I have an idea in my head that in order to be protected I have to be small and fragile.

 

Love the shit that i get away with. Hate that i never get taken seriously.Oh well.

 

All the women in my family are considered “petite” because we’re all short af, so I feel this pressure to be cute and dainty. No one identifies me as the thin one though, but I’m still so attached to my identity as an anorexic. People always remind me that I’m more than that, but I don’t feel that way. That’s why it’s so hard to let the anorexia go because I have no idea who I am without it.
