Letting people know what you need
I have a lot of body image/eating issues that kind of come in waves of intensity, for lack of a better word. For various reasons, I'm going through a bit of a difficult spot right now. I work in theater, which of course is an industry where looks do count. I have a coworker who constantly makes comments about other actors' bodies. Most of the comments seem innocent enough but it still bothers me. Does anyone have advice on how I can address this issue, either ways I can ask my coworker to stop or I personally can cope better? I'm trying to stay away from words like "triggered" as this particular person doesn't take those types of terms seriously.
@sunflower9412, I am sorry that you are going through this tough time. it can certainly be very hard being around a person who comments on other's body when you are dealing with body image issues. It can add to the struggle. As you know your situation better than I do so let me ask you this question: if a friend of yours was in your spot dealing with these issues, what would you suggest them to do?
