I've noticed this over the last few yrs but especially during the pandemic. People who work out constantly who body sham others. You know the type. The ones on your social media who post "motivational quotes" that are suppose to be inspirational but clearly are nothing more than body shaming and toxic masculinity type things. Calling out people for not working out, having a dad bod etc. Meanwhile they post pics of themselves in their workout or brag how much they work out, eat healthy, etc.
This bothers me for a number of reasons. One they think they are helping but it's really another form of bullying. Bullying people for being "too lazy to not work out", not eating right, bragging how they have all the answers etc etc. They post quotes on acting like men or people just body shamming.
I don't get how you will get people to live healthier life styles with this form of bullying. They may not see it as that and will probably get defensive. A lot of people have numerious reasons they don't work out etc. Not enough time between work and kids, maybe health issues preventing them from working out etc. I just think this type of thing is incredible ignorant and also keeps people away from actually working out or joining a gym. Some may say I and others are being sensitive but it's called human decency.
Does anyone else see this as an issue? I'm not in the group of either it's just something I've noticed. I think it's more these people are more insecure and trying to deflect it on others
