We all do a joke in friendship. But, sometimes knowingly or unknowingly, we say something that can hurt the feelings of the other person. For example, joking remarks made about one's body weight, speech style or appearance may look bad. This is known as body-shaming. It is quite possible that you may not have any intention of hurting your friend's feelings, but in jest, you often say something that makes him sad. Therefore, before speaking anything, you must keep some things in mind.
Make fun of the weight
Suppose you are the owner of an attractive figure and everyone cares about your looks. Do not get tired of praising. But this does not mean that you should consider it your right to comment on the physique of your heavy-weight friends. One should always be serious about the fact that God has not created all people equal, and we all differ from each other in shape, appearance and color. Therefore, weight should not come in the matter of friendship.
Question on fashion sense
Of course, you keep your eye on all the latest fashion trends and friends lovingly call you a fashion diva. But this should not mean that you start making fun of the way other people dress. Because of the similarity of thoughts between two friends, So it may be, but it is not necessary that they also like the same type of clothes. We all choose clothes for ourselves according to our personality and convenience. That's why one should never question someone else's dressing sense.
What do you like to eat
Different diet trends keep gaining momentum at different times. Nowadays, there is a tremendous trend of people toward Keto and Vegan diets. But maybe one of your friends still likes Aloo paratha with curd and butter. In such a situation, instead of giving knowledge of new diet trends and considering them outdated, understand that food is a personal choice, on which there is no point in advising without asking.
Every skin tone is perfect
In our society, a fair complexion has always been considered more beautiful, but for some time, many people have come forward vocally to bridge this distinction between fair and dark. It is an indicator of how much your opinion about someone's complexion can affect that person's mental health. Change your habit of reacting to someone's complexion, knowingly or unknowingly.
Body-shaming also spoils mental health
No matter how strong our relationship with a person may be, our repeated remarks about his weight and appearance can not only spoil our relationship with him, but can also cause him mental trauma. We all know that even all the members of the same family are different from each other in color, appearance and physical shape. In such a situation, it is meaningless in itself to consider anyone superior by comparing any two people.
But, body-shaming people often ignore the extent to which any of their comments or comments can harm a person on a mental level. That is why people who are victims of fat shaming or body-shaming often become victims of depression, stress, low self-confidence and loneliness, which gradually worsens their condition. As a result, they become very overweight, which is known in medical parlance as bulimia. Similarly, excessive efforts to lose weight can also lead to anorexia, which is a condition in which the sufferer completely refuses to eat for fear of gaining weight and makes him vomit even a small amount of food.
