The Pariah

The social impact of being a fatty. I could talk for days on this subject and never articulate it well enough. Hopefully this will do.

I totally get you on the social awkwardness, I still deal with it today. Over the past year my social interaction has completely changed, I have lost 200 lbs so obviously I was much bigger then you, but I missed alot of those things too, but you can still grab that stuff by the horns and just do it. Go out, go to a different city if you need to, you can't be too old to do anything, just do it.

Keep reflecting on yourself and go for it. Take care :) and be the best you that you can.

@2ThousandAnd9 Thank you very much! I'll try my best.

I really relate to this video so, so much. I'm feeling the same way about the social aspects of life. i wish i had some advice to offer, but I know how difficult it is to take the chance and open yourself up, especially when you are already feeling awkward. It sounds like we're in very similar positions. Thank you for your videos. They help me feel less alone.

And thank you for understanding and knowing where I'm coming from. I'm glad I could help you out like that. I know it's hard sometimes but we just have to realize we are not the only ones who feel the way we do. It might feel like it but there are others out there going through the same thing. We are just lucky if we can find those people and relate to them and share ourselves with them and let them know they aren't struggling alone. I hope you can get through this soon. :) Best to you.

Im sorry if this is harsh but sitting around and crying over being fat isnt gonna help and your not that big plus I know people who are about 3 times bigger than you who are the life of the party. Being socialy akward is a state of mind go out their put your best foot foward and meet people I know meeting people can sometimes be jarring but you should use this Motto " What's the worse that could happen" tell yourself that and things should work out..

I think you missed the point of my video.

I know that you're socially awkward and that's ok. *hugs*

It's a shame you had to go through such an experience but I hope you are making up for lost time! It's strange because, to me, you don't seem like you'd be socially awkward at all. One day I can move away and find people that will be there for me because that definitely won't happen here. Thanks, you're pretty amazing yourself.

Never feel like it is too late to start anything and don't think that there are not people out there who you can't connect with. And honestly, you are a total catch (talking in terms of a friend)

I spent the first 23 years of my life missing out and not getting to do all the things that you talked about. 4 years ago I was at such a miserable point and had such severe social anxiety that I could barely stand walking past someone on a sidewalk - And it was so beyond weight loss.

I am 27 now and have just now in the last few years created a real genuine social life, surrounded by people that may not totally get me (I still fell socially awkward) but are there.for me.
