Telling people they don't know what is best for their own body, thoughts and feelings is very condescending and belittling to the person you are trying to "help." Telling a person that they don't know their own body cues of hunger, sadness and what they need because the trend is to be lean and happy is upsetting.
Telling people that they should "make sure your hunger isn't just a craving" is belittling because it is telling that person they don't know their own body. Obese people do not know when to eat and when to not eat because they are fat. Weight control gurus know better than you do about your own body because they are smarter than you are because they are lean and you're not. If you're lean and eat a lot, they know better than you because "you're lean now but you'll get fat in a few years." You don't know your own body and your nutritional needs, weight control culture does is what is subtly being said.
Similar to above, people think they know better than someone who might have anxiety, depression or BPD because they are sane. We hear it all the time, a person's decision is not taken seriously because they are not sane and neurotypical. "The sane people know what is best for the insane, we know they must be fixed to be like us" is what sane people subconsciously, or consciously display to the world. People who are insane do it as well as soon as they "get better" they think they know what is best for others who may not be sane like they are now. They have joined the ranks of sanity and now they know what is best for the insane.
Belittling is common among people who think they are above people who are "mentally ill." Just that word alone implies there is something wrong with someone who acts differently or has more intense emotions than someone else.
Belittling ugly people it is very common in society either directly or indirectly. We think that we can make an ugly person beautiful and help them but by thinking that we are belittling that person. Why must an ugly person be beautiful why can't they just be themselves. Also what makes a person think they are so beautiful and prettier than someone else. Makeovers are the biggest way to belittle someone else because we think that they are uglier than we are therefore we are some consciously looking down on them and we want them to be beautiful/ handsome like us. No one is prettier or uglier than anyone else at the end of the day we all look like a monkey when we take off our clothes, fake extensions, fake nails, fake tan and pounds of makeup off.Ugly to beautiful inspirational posts and shows are awful because they teach people that 1) everything is only about looks, 2) that ugly people are subhuman to beautiful People and 3 )that someone else is better because of their looks so another person needs to be like them.
Belittling people for their genitalia size is a huge deal in society nowadays although it feminism it is less pushed onto women, now it is commonly instructed that men's genitalia look a certain way and be a certain size. Our bodies are how they are meant to be. Telling people their bodies do not know how to grow is belittling and wrong. A small penis doesn't need to be big, and to think otherwise is wrong both in sexology and morally. Belittling men for not having a huge penis, or belittling women for discharging or not having a tight vagina also shows your ignorance about the human body and how sex actually works. By belittling others you are showing your own ignorance. Belittling others for the size of their genitalia is also assuming that that person doesn't know how to use it. I'm a tiny person and I manage things by knowing how my body works and knowing how to compromise to make it work. Also, this is them saying they think their genitalia is better than yours, and no genitalia, no body is better or worse than any other body.
Bodies and emotions do not need to be fixed, nor are they broken. We are all different and the same. No one is here to "fix" anyone else because we are all perfect and adults and capable of taking care of ourselves in our own way. We don't need a parent to tell us what to do, or to mold us into their idea of perfection as we are all perfect and messed up in our own way. The pretty people are not here to assist ugly people and lean people are not here to save fat people. We are here for our own purpose and it's not saving someone from their own bodies and minds.
