Sorry about your social anxiety. I have it too. I'm proud of you, if that's not too strange to say. I know this subverse is a good place to let off steam about fat people, but what I really like about your story is that it wasn't the unabashedly antagonistic tone we have a lot here (not saying it's a bad thing!). 13 year-old you had a great deal of compassion for people who are truly suffering, and you were able to stick by it when faced with hurt fee-fees. The fatty tried to make you take it back, they tried to make it (like everything else) about them, but you didn't let them. Having compassion for starving children doesn't just mean shedding the occasional tear; it means taking care of your own body, being grateful for the nutrition you have access to, and being careful not to take in too much.

It gets easier with time, trust me.
