Hello Gabe I see your videos a lot and as someone who has had an ed for a long time I feel like you believe that ed’s are a vanity disease when in reality they are not. It’s actually a coping mechanism. They give you a sense of control when you don’t have any control elsewhere in life. Lots of people develop Ed’s when, they get SA’d, bullied, abused, loosing a loved one, OCD compulsions. There’s so many factors involved that aren’t related to looks. A huge majority of people with restrictive Ed’s actually DONT want to be desirable. I get how you’d think they are, a huge reason why women in specific have restrictive Ed’s is beauty standards however that’s because it’s a “good” way to self destruct. Men however aren’t as pressured to stay thin as women so they resort to different coping skills (most of the time there’s obviously guys with Ed’s)
