natural thinness is mistaken for anorexia
I am naturally thin. I'm not like 100 pounds or anything because I'm tall, but thin. People say my legs and arms and body are too straight, too thin, but that's just the way I'm built: very straight frame, not a lot of difference in calve and thigh widths. My doctor says I have a perfectly healthy weight, but I am very much bothered by friends telling me that I am too skinny or people telling me I am anorexic (this is ridiculous because you can't see any ribs or my spine.) I need a way to politely tell people that I am perfectly healthy, thank you, without seeming like I'm in denial and convince them that I am too thin. Thanks in advance for any help.

Tell them the majority of America is obese and that your health is fine. Tell them thanks for their concern but you eat perfectly balanced meals and live a perfectly normal life.

just what you said to us. im perfectly healthy, thank you. if you want something else. be like would you want to come with me next time i go to the doctor and ask him what he thinks?
I understand it hurts to have people say that to you. but they are probably mad that they arent skinny. you shouldnt care what people think bc you know your not anorexic, and know your healthy!!
if its "fat" people saying it to you, just laugh at them. really. god made you the way you are, and you cant change that. if he wanted you to be built some other way, he would have. i hope i helped<3

I used to have the same problem but now i've gained weight. I am 5'10 n a 1/2 so people would always look at me like wow, are you making yourself throw up. My sister Jessica used to do that so they straight up thought I was doing the same. Really people are just self conscious of what they see themselves as and thats why they take it out on others. Your most likely just a easy target considering your build. I wouldn't take it to heart if I were you. Consider it a compliment while your still skinny. If it keeps getting to you thought just sit and have a talk with the person saying this stuff to you. Tell them it offends you and make them feel bad like they're giving you a complex. If that doesn't work then they're really not worth tlaking to. Hope i haven't offended you either, and hope you take this into consideration and get some enlightenment out of it.
