Thin privilege is people commenting things such as “You’re so beautiful, I wish I looked like you, you’re stunning, you’re such a beautiful person, I love your fashion I love your style” etc. on your Instagram pictures.

My friend is very skinny and constantly posts pictures on Instagram , sometimes up to 20 a day. She has a lot of followers who post comments on her pictures and fawn all over her even though they don’t know her. They just assume she’s a wonderful and caring person even though they don’t know what she’s really like, just because she’s pretty and thin. It’s so hurtful when she tells me that she has more followers than me. When I see all the comments on her pictures and I get none I know it’s because I’m fat and my fashion isn’t like hers because I can’t find clothes that look like that on me.

Thin privilege is people telling you every day how perfect you are even if you don’t need to hear it because you already know it. I know not all thin people think that but my friend does. Sorry if this isn’t making sense but English isn’t my first language.
