Asking Eric: The people body shaming me don’t know that I have a medical condition

R. Eric Thomas provided advice to an individual who experienced body shaming from strangers at a party. The person felt overwhelmed when guests insisted they needed to eat, unaware that the individual suffers from a specific medical condition. The situation raised questions regarding whether the person should have disclosed their health status to the strangers to stop the criticism. The guidance focused on handling these unsolicited comments while managing a private medical struggle.
