I feel useless

My entire life I’ve been overweight, it used to really bother me in like 7th and 8th grade, but i eventually learned to love myself for who I am and become the best version of myself just for me. I’m now in the absolute best shape in my life (I’m still definitely overweight but the improvement is visible) and recently I began taking some extra Physical Education classes to see just how much I’ve improved, and yet on every single run, I’ve come dead last. I feel all those years of self hatred rush back as I watch each of my classmates pass me by and I feel like all the effort I’ve put in has been for nothing. I’ll admit it’s not as bad as before, I used to feel like i shouldn’t even be alive, but the self hate is still there and I can’t see myself ever escaping it.

At first glance, the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage which is why the comments look the way they do

Looking at this, the wording alone shifts how people read this and that’s why opinions are all over the place That part stands out.

Honestly, there’s a lot said here but not much clarified so the response doesn’t surprise me

From my side, there’s a lot said here but not much clarified That part stands out. Feels like an opening move, not an ending. That’s just my read on it.

If we’re being honest, there’s a gap between the message and the outcome

the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here which explains why reactions are split That’s just how it reads to me.

Putting bias aside, the wording alone shifts how people read this This could age very differently in a week.

I get the idea, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven and that’s the part people are stuck on That part stands out. This probably isn’t the last word on it. Others will probably see it differently.

From the outside, there’s a lot said here but not much clarified and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone Curious how this plays out.
