Today, my friend was complaining about how fat she was. To make her feel better I said, "Psh, you're not fat! In fact we're about the same weight!" She looked at me for a second, then burst into tears sobbing, "I'm fat! I'm fat!" FML

Today, I received a compliment for the first time from a girl. She told me she admires my courage to go out in public since most ugly people don't like to. FML

Today, I finished a ballet class with a group of seven-and-unders. Afterwards, a new student's mother came up to me and thanked me, saying she was glad that her daughter had a "role model with a, ahem, fuller figure" and "not to worry about my weight." I have never thought I was fat before. FML

Today, at school, one of my students confidently told me that I "wasn't hiding my baby bump very well anymore." I'm not pregnant. Just fat, apparently. FML

Today, I told my boyfriend that I gained a few pounds and thought I looked fat. He replied that I looked the same and that I shouldn't worry because he likes fat girls. I never thought I was fat before this. FML

Today, while eating at an outdoor café, a man on the street came up to me and said, "My girlfriend is sexier than you, bitch." Thanks for the confidence boost. FML

Today, while shopping for a birthday present for my size 0 friend, I picked out a pair of pants for her. When paying, the cashier looked me up and down and said, "Well, you're pretty optimistic aren't you?" FML

Today, while tucking my toddler in bed and telling her I love her, she responded with, "And I love your bouncy castle belly!" I know I'm overweight, but I didn't think I was that fat. FML

Today, I got to see my best friend for the first time in months. Her first reaction was to say, "Wow, you gained a lot of weight." I actually lost a fair bit. FML

if she is a thin girl: Tell her that she has a lot of balls for a skinny girl. Not a lot of confidence, either if she's going to say that to you. if she is a heavy girl: Tell her that confidence isn't determined by your pants size and pitty her for being so pathetic. if he is a thin guy: Thank him and don't make a big deal out of it. He is probably attracted to you. if he is a heavy guy: depends. If he's insulting your weight, tell him that he has high standards for a fat guy. If he's sincerely impressed by your esteem, consider that seeing a heavy person with confidence, especially a woman, may be a source of confidence and support for him. They might be sincerely inspired by you and just have diarrhea of the mouth.

So what? She should only take it as a complement if it's a guy saying it? What if it was a girl that was honestly being nice or admiring her?

She is quite obviously not really your friend...

That's a compliment. Most fat girls have no confidence.
