Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

cw: disordered eating?

but yeah i've had people-- close friends i felt i could trust-- tell me they didn't believe i was anorexic because i wasn't thin enough. i was doing it for attention because they'd seen me eat. eating disorders exist on a spectrum like everything else but apparently society says you have to be skeletal to have a "real" eating disorder.

jesus. tbh that's a shit tier reaction. it takes guts to admit to an eating disorder. my friend's mother has bulimia but she has never admitted it. i've seen the toll it takes on her though and i wish you had friends who were more understanding. you could at least trust to confide in them then.

really fucking sorry anon. i hope you find people who are understanding some day.

thanks anon. it took me a long time to feel i could say anything and to get that reaction was a blow tbh so now i don't talk about it with anyone at all. you guys on here have been nicer than anyone else and you don't even know me :'(

thank you <3

haha wow not the post i wanted to anonfail on, thanks mousepad

but yeah, i'm sorry man. eating disorders are particularly bad for this for some reason. it's a hard blow to finally open up to someone about it just to have them reject the possibility.

sometimes people are just shitty friends, sometimes it's because they don't know how to approach it, or it's tinged with their own experiences. it doesn't make it any less awful to you, but it's made it easier for me personally to forgive folks i've needed to forgive. and to cut ties with those i don't.

i hope you're in a better place now, regardless of which is right for you

yeah that's how i had to come to terms with it too. it sucks because it's people you thought were closer to you than that but now i know i need to be more careful with who i open up to. and i'm doing....better? up and down you know? like all things like this you're always in some state of recovery and setbacks but one day at a time.

i don't know if you're going through the same thing but it kinda sounds like it and if you are, i hope things are better for you too. thank you anon <3
