Best way to deal with an insult?

[Home]

Not a good day. Was cooking dinner and mom comes in and calls me fat. I’m sitting pouting pissed off and my sibling tells me “Well, recontextualize it, she’s trying to give you advice” but that didn’t make me feel any better. Until I sat and thought and realized what did

I mean, my mom is morbidly obese. She needs help getting up the stairs and has been mistaken as pregnant several times. That’s not me being disrespectful, that’s just truth. Why the fuck am I caring about what someone that fat has to say about my weight?

Is it vindictive and petty? Yes! But it got me to continue making dinner. I’ve found a new way to cope when someone pisses me off, realize they’re just as if not more shit of a person

So, as always I must end these posts with a question, what do you do when someone says some fighting words?

I have a BMI over 30 because I'm on medication that made me gain weight but I can still walk up and down stairs. trolls online makes a big deal out of my weight because a lot of the fat sits on my face so on pictures I look more fat than I really am. I wear size 44 inch pants at the waist and XXL to XXXL T-shirts. but I'm feeling fine no one in person say anything bad to me only trolls online does that. it's ironic your mother comment on your weight if she can't even walk up stairs.

Your mom sounds like a total bitch. She berates you WHILE you're making her fat ass dinner? You don't deserve that queen

She never really eats the dinner I make (I think? Idk sometimes it’s gone and idk how it happened) so I guess it’s not her’s. She says she’s “just worried” but I know her to be a pretty dishonest person so I fucking doubt it.

Some insults are so low they aren't even worth responding to. An obese person calling you fat falls in that territory, I think. Even if you were fat, I doubt rude reminders are an effective way to deal with that.

You could also just ignore, its difficult but effective.
