Health, Friends and Awkward: Stereotypes

Stereotypes

By Anonymous - 01/10/2009 09:42 - United States

Today, my friends and I noticed that people, no matter what stereotype, pretty much all have the same type of friends: the mean one, the funny one, etc., and started naming off the people in our group who fit into those personalities. We got to the token fat one, everyone looked at me and stopped talking. FML

Today, my coworker was talking to me about how there's always that one person in a group of friends that everyone secretly dislikes and laughs at. I realized that person is me. FML

That one friend

By LeftOut - 13/04/2009 04:24 - United States

Today, I saw my friends talking about plans for later during lunch. I walked over and asked for the plan. My best friend of 12 years gently took me aside, and said "You know that person in each group of friends that is only around to be made fun of? That's you." I just got dumped by my friends. FML

Today, I was at a club with my friends, when a group of guys approached us. It got quiet for a second, and I heard one of them say, "It's okay, I've got the fat one this time," then walk over and start talking to me. FML

Today, I was having dinner with my college friends to celebrate the end of our first year. I said really great things about them as individuals. The only thing they had to say to me was, "Thanks for being the token black friend." FML

Lonesome today

By The unfavorite - 26/10/2022 09:00 - United States

Today, I've noticed a pattern with my classmates: Every time a new student shows up, they are treated by my classmates as though they've known each other for years. Everyone except me. When I first came along, I was more or less a wallflower. No one wanted anything to do with me. The same is true today. FML

Today, I went downtown with my friends. A group of guys came up to us and started hitting on everyone except me. Then one of them said, "Do you girls hang out with her to make yourselves look better?" FML

Today, I said something in class and someone mimicked me. In a self-pitying mood, I exclaimed, "Everybody hates me!" The girl behind me then said, "Pretty much." FML

Today, my friend and I gave our numbers to some guys at a bar. Twenty minutes after we had left, we got a call. We excitedly answered the phone, only to hear the guy ask, "So are you the fat one or the ugly one?" FML

You shouldn't stereotype. Stereotyping is a bad thing! I mean no one deserves to be called fat, but still. I'm not gonna say YDI or FYL!

Um, yes. Overweight people who don't get off their asses all day and eat rubbish deserve to be called "fat". That's what fat means. Idiot.

Just because someone is fat doesn't mean they don't exercise and eat rubbish all day. I'm overweight and I eat fruist, veegetables, lean meats, etc. as well as play soccer during the year, I ski every weekend in the winter (I'm a ski racer). I also eat some sweets (in moderation) and I don't exercise 24 hours a day. So maybe you shouldn't stereotype all fat people and accuse them of being lazy and sit around eating chips all the time. Sure, some fat people are like that but there are others, like myself, who workout, eat right most of the time, and still carry a bit of extra weight. I bet you anything you're fatter than I am, and you just feel better by bashing people fatter than you. So shut the **** up, you don't even know the half of it you PRICK.

I say YDI not because you are your self-said "token fat one" stereotype", but that you guys sat and stereotyped all the rest of your friends, yet you assumed that your stereotype would be a nice one. What did you truly expect?
