“You are too short to wear a maxi dress”.
“Your arms are too jiggly, don’t buy that sleeveless top.”
“I don’t have the booty to carry off that fitted skirt.”
“You should probably start wearing a hat to cover that bald patch of yours.”
“Hey, doesn’t she look darker in that colour?”
“Your friend’s legs are too skinny ya.”
“I am too fat to be attractive”.
These are things that we often get to hear. Sometimes we find the voice coming from our own head when we’re too busy self-doubting. Then there are OBVIOUSLY those times when we meet some really generous people who seem to have many opinions about us (our body, sartorial choices, height, complexion, weight, behaviour and what not!)
So it’s very important to love ourselves and stay positive always. And it’s heartening that amidst all the negativity on the internet, there are also many out there who encourage body positivity and try to imbibe confidence in the ones around them.
Popular Instagrammer Sarah Sapora took to Instagram to share a powerful message about body shaming and how plus-sized people don’t have anything to be ashamed of. Intimacy should be beautiful for everyone regardless of their shapes and sizes.
More power to you, girl. You inspire!
