<p>Toxic body positivity doesn’t only apply to those who are overweight; I’ve experienced it too — an underweight individual.</p>
<p>People would tell me, “You should be grateful for God’s gift,” or “Being thin is a favor,” or even claim, “All women want a body like yours.”</p>
<p>But at the same time, I also received tons of, “Whoa, you look like you haven’t eaten in months,” or “You are thinner than paper,” or the worst of all, “If there’s a windstorm, it can be strong enough to push and float you.”</p>
<p>These words echoed through my mind, causing me to question my self-worth and validity.</p>
