Why can't people just assume some girls are natuarlly skinny?

Question:

I'm tall and slim and get called anorexic a lot. I eat a normal amount (though I'm a really healthy eater), but i do a lot of excercise because I'm a long distance runner and I love to run and girls always assume that I'm trying to "burn those calories " or "shed more pounds", people can even be meaner saying that guys hate girls who starve themselves when that's just the body i'm programmed to have. I'm not really looking for advice, i'm just asking a question in general.Why are people in a society that is for the most part rather unhealthy and overweight (not to mention obssesed with diets), so quick to bash people that are natuarlly thin and much healthier?

Answers:
because theyre jealous. i know its a very annoying andd common thing to say- but its the truth! Its hard for someone to compete(socially) with a tall skinny runner!

To hide their own insecurity's

I used to be in your spot tall and skinny, even my own mom thought i had an eating disorder...drink a lot and you will gain weight i promise

its cause they are jealous. trust me i know plenty of girls that are naturally thin. two of my best friends can eat anything they want and still are tall and thin. people may think they are anorexic but i know the real them. i mean (one of my friends) her whole family (7 brothers and sisters) are all tall and thin and her mother is too. its just her genes. but people automatically assume ur anorexic because of what some many teens are doing these days. dont take it personally just know that ur healthy and who cares what everyone else thinks.

Don't worry when I was younger, people thought my parents didn't feed me because I was really skinny and tall. I was very active so that helped as well. Now that I'm almost close to 18. I'm still slim but I look more healthier, plus I'm not active like I used to be.

pure jealousy,relax dont let them bug you :)

You can't win for losing, huh? It sucks.

My best friend is similar to you - she's naturally very thin and struggles to keep weight on.

I'm quite the opposite. ;o)

After being friends for a while, we realized that we're sensitive about many of the same things, just in reverse. People make assumptions about our lifestyles, habits, and personalities based on how fat/thin we are.

That's a easy Q. It's probally because their not happy with their look. or what ever. but i have a friend whos 13 and she weighs 96 pounds or something and one person called her inerestic. so the next time some one calls you that is probally because you weigh less. Or because they may be over wighed I know im over wighed but i dont go around calling people that because they weigh less then me.
