Bodyshaming is not just something that happens online or in passing comments โ it is a serious issue that leaves lasting emotional scars. It affects people of all ages, backgrounds, and body types. For many, the pain caused by bodyshaming stays with them for years. Some carry it silently, while others speak out and fight back. But no matter how someone reacts, one thing is clear: bodyshaming hurts.
Weโve all been there. Those moments when people try to bring us down, make us feel small, or judge us for something we canโt control. Whether itโs about how we look, what we wear, or just being ourselves, it can feel like a heavy weight on our shoulders. But I want you to remember that their words do not define you.
Growing up, I experienced bodyshaming, like so many others. It wasnโt easy. Iโve heard the hurtful comments and dealt with the negative thoughts that came with them. But through all the tough moments, Iโve learned something incredibly important: we are all worthy of love and respect, no matter what we look like.
