1. I’m short — 5’2 (157 cm). My height is the first thing anyone notices about me, and instead of seeing it as cute or beautiful, people see it as a flaw. Most men say they want a “petite” girl, but when they actually see me, I’m “too short,” like I can’t be taken seriously. Instead of making me feel special, it makes me feel overlooked. I don’t get approached, not because I’m not worthy of love, but because they don’t want to see me as more than “short.” 2. I weigh 230 lbs (104 kg). I’m not skinny, I’m not fragile — and society has taught boys to prefer “small and delicate.” My body doesn’t fit into the box they’ve been told to desire. I’m thick, curvy, and real, but instead of embracing that, they act like it disqualifies me. They want someone they can pick up, not someone who might actually be stronger than them. 3. My job. I’m an online creator, and that alone makes people judge me. They assume they know everything about me just because I share parts of myself online. Instead of respecting that it’s a career I built on my own, they see it as something negative, something that makes me “less serious.” They don’t think “independent,” they think “undeserving of real love.” 4. I’m natural. In a world obsessed with fake perfection — surgeries, filters, edits — I’ve stayed natural. But instead of appreciating authenticity, boys chase after the illusions. They don’t want the real, they want the fantasy they see online. My natural self can’t compete with their endless scroll of “perfect” bodies. 5. I’m “too much.” This is the one that hurts the most. I’ve been told I’m too short, too big, too strong, too everything. The truth is, boys don’t dislike me for who I am — they dislike me because I don’t shrink myself to make them comfortable. They don’t want someone who stands out, they want someone who blends in. And I never will. Would you still like me? 🥺 be honest… 💔 - @lxves._
