Is skinny always considered a compliment?

No. This “compliment” is often what leads to eating disorders such as anorexia or bulimia. People are so bent on always being called skinny, that they do lose and maintain a low weighted in an unhealthy way. Any body shaming is still body shaming and can be hurtful, triggering, or offensive. Please beware of the “compliments” that you give and make sure to be kind. Even for someone who has lost weight who used to be bigger, calling them skinny may make them happy, but they could feel that they need to lose more and more weight. You do not. You should feel comfortable in your own skin. You’re beautiful.

no! really depends on the person and if they like being called skinny. if someone is to skinny it could hurt there feelings, but if someone is bigger then it could be a great compliment. and someone with an eating disorder is could really affect them in a bad way. you have to get to know the person and how they feel about the word skinny, before throwing it out there. words affect every person in different ways. no one is the same and no one thinks the same way. you have to keep that in mind when talking to people.

No not always it depends on the context that it is said AND it also depends on the person. You could tell a girl that she was really cute and skinny but she might think that her being skinny is why she cute and obsesse over being skinny not necessarily because of your comment but she still might not think of it as a compliment she might think that because of her being skinny you think that shes cute. it is all up to the person whom you are calling skinny or fat. there are lots of people not just girls who think that because people call them skinny they need to gain weight or need to stay super skinny and that can lead to problems but then again that is just my thoughts on the matter.

I personally dislike terms that compress our body sizes into symbols and such. Skinny is usually considered a compliment, however, it actually can be counterproductive for someone with weight issues or body dysmorphia. For someone trying to become an unhealthy weight, it can boost their motivation, not much better than insulting them. I feel like we shouldn't compliment on each other's bodies, period. On the other hand, for someone trying to gain weight, it can be depressing for them to not have their hard work recognized, or it can be embarrassing if used in a demeaning way. Physical comments are just... Dangerous ground.

not always some may take it a complement when someone says you are so skinny but others can takle offence which can lead to depression and other mental illnesses but also can lead to overeating of one if they dont like being skinny . Individuals are very self aware and one compliment can be taken as an offence instead of a comment as one can perhaps be perceiving individuals with fuller bodies as more appealing and when faced with a comment of wow you so skinny one can go into a really dark state of trying to get rid of this image they do not like.

No, being called skinny is not always considered a compliment. A lot of times, being skinny doesn't commonly identify with healthy. Using skinny as a compliment to someone can be destructive to that persons mental health and can cause and/or participate in eating disorders. Comments on social media are always bashing the way someones body looks, whether they gained weight, lost weight, or acquired some cellulite (which everyone has by the way). Being curvy and voluptuous is beautiful, but so is being thin. Just because a person doesn't meet up with society's body image standards does not mean they are unhealthy, or fat, or starving themselves, or eating too much. Everyone's body shape, digestive system, metabolism, etc. is different. Therefore, we all gain and lose weight differently. Some people are naturally skinny, it is in their genetics. Others are naturally curvy, it is also in their genetics. We all just need to love each other and our selves.

No it is not always meant as a compliment. Calling someone fat or calling someone skinny all fall under the category of body shaming. Although sometimes someone might mean it in a good way, it is not always considered a compliment. I have always been skinny my whole life and I have seen people shaming me for that. From calling me skinny to even calling me 'lanky', 'tree log', 'stick figure' and things like that. I used to be sad about that a lot a few years ago. But now I have come to accept my natural body and no longer feel bad if someone calls me skinny.

Being “skinny” seems to be a very desirable trait. However it is not always the best option for people depending on their bodies and the stigma around being skinny, and especially when using the term as a compliment or insult, is very harmful. In many cases it can further harm a person’s self-image or even remind them of current or past issues about eating. There are so many other ways to more effectively and kindly let someone know they are great, including pointing out their beautiful personality traits. Even complimenting their outfit can allude to their gorgeous body shape (skinny or not) in a kinder and less stigmatic way :)

Just like taking a break from your job search is important, so is having the right mindset. It is hard to be a job seeker, applying for many jobs and possibly not hearing back from employers. Work to focus on the progress you are making with each application—honing your search tactics, getting efficient with your application process, and understanding what keywords to use for an ATS are all important tools to use as you go through your search. Each time you apply for a job, you are improving your process, and that’s great progress to landing a job. nice

you can start by telling her that for a while you have noticed that you are starting to feel different, both inside and out, that you are discovering new sensations and that since you trust her and you know she loves you for what you are inside and not for the external aspect you are sure that it will accept you in any version of you. Or at least it should. Tell her that she is free to choose and take some time to think, remind her of the beautiful moments and tell her that you love her. It'll be fine.
