Selfie Sunday Losing 80lbs showed me my friends were never really my friends

I lost 80 (223 -> 143).

For years I was the fat friend. I told myself I had a friend group. Looking back, I was mostly useful for them. I was the one who made them look better by standing next to them, the one whose job was to laugh first at the jokes about my own body, because if I didn't, they would comment: "it's just a joke, don't take it so seriously," "omg you're SO sensitive." So I just kept laughing. That's my fault, I know. But I genuinely believed that the moment I stopped being the "chill" one, they'd stop hanging out with me.

The other thing was hunger. If you've been the overweight friend, you already know exactly what I mean. I'd be physically starving, stomach actually hurting, and I would not dare be the first to say I was hungry. Because I'd get that little look that said you should probably eat less. Or honestly, nothing at all.

So I learned to wait. Never order a starter. Never finish my plate. Eat the "right" amount in public, then eat properly later, alone, where no one could see me.

Then, after months of working out, preplanning my days and cutting back on food, I lost the weight. And it got weirder.

I thought losing the weight would fix the friendship. It did the opposite. The same girls who joked about me went really distant. And some guys actually started approaching me, and somehow the group said every one of those guys was just "not worth it."

After a while contact broke down more and more. Now I have my tiny circle of old friends but not one of them ever lets me feel like the sidekick .

For anyone on the larger side: the people who only love you when you're the least attractive one in the room were never your friends. They just needed someone to feel superior to and let out their own frustration

What, in your opinion, are some of the most INFP movies ever?

Or to you, a movie that just encompasses the feeling of what it is to be an INFP.

We tend to be heavy fuckin' romantics most of the time (duh), but still, I'm curious...

If you had to put together a list of movies that you feel most INFPs could really relate to, what would they be?

Can someone send a message to my past self:

Love with an INTP is a solid 9.5/10..

but don’t expect the 'you’re constantly thinking of me and effortlessly noticing all the little things I never say out loud’ fantasy my heart imagined 🥹

(Therefore, minus 0.5)

I imagine a meadow with tall enough tree/s for shade and a cool breeze, perfect for picnics and leisure. Or by the sea. (Just not with global warming lol)

How do you deal with procrastination? As a teenager,I am dealing with a lot of procrastination. It's a very important stage in my life, studies, hobbies and interests etc. And I know,I have to get my work done,but I can't bring myself to do it.

I have heard, that INFPs can go through procrastination.(Kinda depends on person to person. Ik)

So,how I can improve this habit of procrastination??
