Imagine going to a family gathering to catch up, eat, and have a nice time, only to have your uncle demand that you sit on a folding chair because of how much you weigh? Without a second thought, I would go back to my house and cut ties with this person. But the user who wrote the story below had a better plan. He decided that at the next family dinner he would bring a chair from his home so that he 'didn't ruin' the new chairs his uncle bought. That obviously caused a huge scene that we could deem as a family feud. The uncle felt humiliated and told him to go. But he didn't care when he humiliated this user about his weight, did he?
Some people are obsessed with weight, as if the number you get on a scale could determine anything about, it can't. You are a human being with a personality, dreams, feelings, and so much more. Then why would you think that what defines you is solely your weight? And it's even worse when you aren't the one focusing on that, but other people can't stop bringing it up. Being overweight can cause some health problems, but so does being underweight. And in whatever case, the person you are talking to about 'their problem' already knows how much they weigh and if they are healthy or not. So wouldn't it be better to focus on something else?
You never know what someone is going through. And making them feel embarrassed about something like this seems pure evil to me. The person knew what he looked like, and the chair thing wasn't really about not ruining the new chairs. This uncle was targeting and mistreating family members who haven't done anything wrong in the first place. So why didn't he just enjoy the gathering and keep the comments to himself? It would have been a better evening for everyone, that's for sure!
