How do i get people to stop calling me anorexic?

I have stomach problems and problems swallowing (which i am seeing a doctor for) which causes me to not eat whole meals a lot. sometimes i can barely finish half my dinner. my mom keeps accusing me of being anorexic and trying to force me to eat, and now my friends are questioning it too…

Answer #1

Tell them to leave you alone, and if you wish you could also explain that you have severe problems with swallowing and keeping your food down. Then say ‘how would you like to have this issue?’. That usually would shut them up.

Answer #2

You could also ask them this question: ‘how does calling me anorexic benefit you? Huh?’ That should do the trick. Goodluck.

Answer #3

thanks :) and they all know about the problems but still bug me.. :/ i should just tell them to f*ck off lol

Answer #4

I get called annorexic and its a horrible feeling and it makes you feel bad about your self also its annoying! but look at it this way if you know your underweight but not exstreamly underweight then you know your not annorexic and if u have an eating dissorder and your trying to get through it and eat be proud of who you are! I used to be so ashamed of my self not knowing why im like how i am, always being ill, tired and all that untill i found out that i had an eating dissorder and after 7 years of nothing helping me im damaged inside but i have also managed to start eating two meals a day, i might be underweight but i know for a fact that im not annorexic and i’m proud of my self and you should be too, no matter what people say you’re you and theres people out there that is gunna like you for being you! x

Just explain to people about your condition, that’s all you can really do. Unfortunately you can’t stop people from making assumptions. It’s up to you how you handle it. Their opinions should not matter. It’s the fact of life that you’ll have people judging you. People judge people no matter what. Life is 1% about the things that happen to you, and 99% about how you react to it.

Answer #6

Yes, but if you act like you’re defending something they could get suspicious.

Answer #7

Gain body weight.

Answer #8

If you aren’t, then take it as a compliment. Whoever is calling you that especially in a negative matter is jealous of you and they’re just hating. People call me anorexic too because I lost a lot of weight and I know they’re playing around but I noticed it be the fat people or not so skinny people who be saying that so they’re just hating

Answer #9

Just, no.

Answer #10

it’s not that simple to just gain weight

Answer #11

tell them to go away and tell them to care about them selves the others

Answer #12

i agree… its really hard to, especially with all my problems
