It was 30° C this afternoon, I wore a little top. Anyways, this 'big' girl looked at me and said 'Oh my God, you're so thin, like a skeleton' and I was like 'Oh my God, you're so fat, as a ballon'.
 She got really pissed off and insulted me.My friends say I should apologize. Like hell I am.  People are crazy. Should I apologize? |

People don't realize that calling someone a skeleton is harmful. |

 I love it. Don't apologize. I hate the double standard that someone can call you skinny as a <insert comparison> but you can't respond likewise. |

Hell no. Honestly, I believe that if you are going to say something stupid to someone, expect them to say it right back. There is no need to apologize to someone who insulted you first.

HAHAHHA, tahts hilarious.
no, i dont think you should say sorry. first off, being skinny like yourself, i dont appreciate it when people tell me im thin. "like a skeleton." it hurts and feels like what theyre trying to say is..,"ARE YOU ANOREXIC?!" second, its her fault shes fat unless its a family thing. |

I probably would have said something like that. So no, no apology from me. Who says being skinny is all that great? [I'm skinny. People think I'm anorexic. No.]

Haha.
I'm neither skinny nor fat. Just in the middle, so I do both skeleton and balloon or w/e. Personally, I probably wouldn't apologize... but it'd probably be the nice thing to do. |

That is HILARIOUS. I would apologize though. For sure. She'll give you an apology too (hopefully), and you can make up, right?
Well, whatever. Haha, you are so cool.

She probably didn't mean it as an insult - it seems like it was said with an envious tone, probably. But a lot of people seem to not realize that saying that someone is a "twig" or in your case, a "skeleton," may be just as hurtful as calling someone fat. If she seems very disconcerted and hurt by your comeback, maybe it would be a good idea to apologize. Then explain how her comment made you feel. =P

^I know it shouldn't be taken as a compliment. That's why I think it should be explained to her how the comment made Weird addiction feel. Hm, I think the meaning behind her comment may be similar to someone with wavy hair saying "Oh, your hair is so straight!" But yes, comments about someone being skinny and comments about someone being fat usually are not taken as compliments, and it is perfectly understandable for people to take offense to either.

Hahaha, I wouldn't worry about her.
I would eventually apologize myself [knowing me], but she shouldn't have called you a "skeleton" in the first place. |

Hell no. Dont apologize. I get that all the time since I'm a bit over weight. I'm comfortable with who i am people. And what do they care anyways???Its no their body! Personally these days i think people should look themselves in a mirror first before start saying crap about other people

I certainly wouldn't apologize. I've had people say that before to me...or something to that effect. Usually i just force an awkward smile, next time i'm going for the "OMG, You're really fat!"
 Great comeback!

I really hate that double standard. I used to be alot thinner when I was younger (15'sh) and people used to always say "you are SO skinny" and honestly what do you say to that "um okay?" haha. I remember thinking "would you go up to a fat person and say you are so fat?" because it's pretty much the same thing. I think those people just don't think before they speak and should die because it is usually offensive.

"ur so skinny, god damn skeleton."
"ur not exactly a pixie urself, u oversized beached whale." treat them with the same amount of respect they treat u. it's such a stupid double standard. u can't say something about overweight people, but to really skinny people, it doesn't matter? that's complete bs. hi lilly. <3 |

whoa..i have never thought of that..never thought of being called thin as an insult..whoa... b/c usually during this..era? everyone wants to be thin b/c its the cool thing..so i guess she was maybe trying to compliment u/admiring u b/c u were thin? b/c thats what alot of ppl want to be right now.. of course in another century..like..1800's..it was good to be chubby..so ppl would actually get insulted if they were called thin..
wow. amazing. anyways. yeah if u considered being called thin an insult then u shouldnt apologize. i've been called thin and twiglike before but i guess i was more flattered than insulted.. b/c my mom is always calling me fat and saying how its better to be thin..so i guess i thought it was good when ppl called me thin |

That's really bizarre.
I definitely agree that people don't know how harmful it can be to call others really thin, or "skeletons" - I think it's just as harmful as calling people fat. People used to call me anorexic, even though I wasn't, so, I can tell you from experience that it doesn't make you feel all that great. |
