Hate the summer because I am skinny

Every year the same comments, the same looks and the same attitude. I hate the summer and hate people in the summer. I like hiding behind sweaters and coats and long sleeve wide shirts just so people won't see how skinny I am.
Just yesterday I replied to a member here about gaining weight and it brought me back to an emotional state of hating myself and today I get these comments again....
I went to the beach with some friends I didn't meet a long time, wearing tight sports clothes'. I was late so when I arrived everybody was already there. When they saw me they started commenting on how skinny I am. "You don't eat enough"
"Leaving without a partner is not doing any good for your weight"
"You don't have enough time at work to eat."
"Being vegan is bad"
"You look even skinnier then 2-3 years ago"

Guys, I gained weight since we last met... my stomach looks flatter therefore it looks skinnier, my arms are not as skinny as they were.... it is so depressing when people don't notice that and even say I look skinnier... I don't like the photos when I look skinny so I ask to save the ones I look less skinny so if you see me in person I may look skinnier...it just mean that you don't really remember how I look...
I even eat more than most of the girls in that group...

All the fun day was ruined just from the start...

Can't wait for the winter...

When I was skinnier, I got the exact same comments and felt the exact same way. People are always going to open their mouths and voice their opinions but you can’t let it get to you. Be healthy, be happy and wear clothes that allow you to feel comfortable and confident in your own body.
Are the people who are making the comments very immature or spiteful and jealous of you being slim? :confused:

Life is too short to waste your valuable time and energy on those that don't deserve any. :smile:
During the summer, autumn, winter and spring.
Just avoid socialising with all the people who constantly insult you and end all non-essential interactions with those individuals that bring little that is positive to your life & won't stop obsessing over your appearance.

Congrats on having a flat stomach, being slim, eating well and probably having a body fat % under 22%.
Don't feel the need to cover up your figure unless you don't want to tan or are worried about the skin cancer risks.
I know a lot of people who would admire your body shape and want to swap places with you if they could.
Good luck!

Actually it feels like some of them are genuinely worried about me... others are jealous but not to the point of envy, if you get what I mean.
I don't need people to admire my body, I need them not commenting on how thin I am... I'm aware of that...

My body is strange, I was always under 22% body fat, it was just in my belly.

Thanks for your support 💕

I wish I could gain more weight 🙏
