The thing you don't get is that your constant, egotistical, pathetic broadcasts are accomplishing you nothing more than further proving to me you lack any self-confidence.
You can't be egotistical and lack self-confidence. Keep your statements clear.
The vile stench of false self-confidence disgustingly permeates your journal and entire being.
I agree with this. People who hate themselves often do act as though they are the world. it is what is known as a "defense mechanism".
And what of it?
So they lack self-confidence...and then what? If you're looking for the perfect person with nary a flaw you're going to be looking for a long time, dear, and you won't ever have to check the mirror, either.
Even then your “announcements” are feeble and accomplish nothing but make me feel better about myself.
That's actually a sign of narcissism, which is a mental disorder.
who don’t broadcast it like fucking billboardsI only know a couple people who actually use their main LJ to post to pro-ana communities. They do hide it like mad. No

For all you "Ana" fools (not to be confused with real Anorectics battling this sad and crippling mental disease):
One of the hallmarks of anorexia is refusal to recover and/or denial that they have a problem - in fact, the denial is a major symptom of any mental disorder. Not EVERYONE refuses to get help, of course. There are people who want it but have no idea where to go, people who fear facing the same vitriol you show towards those who post at pro-ana communities, people you viciously caricature and denigrate with alacrity.
You have the same problem that has plagued humankind since the beginning of history...you dehumanize and demonize your enemy. You are Us, the Virtous, the Holy, the Righteous, the Right. they are Them, the Disgusting, the Worthless, the Pitiful, the Animal

For my part, I was anorexic long before I ever posted at pro-ana communities, and in fact it was anti-ana people who drove me there. I was in a feminist community known as sistersafetypin when drama broke out that there were several women in there who were also part of pro-ana communities. They were kicked from the community and terrible things were said of them. I had never before heard of pro-anorexia communities but had already been starving & restricting for a long time. I realized I would never be given any shred of dignity there if I were ever to announce I had a disease, so I left. It was this kind of blatant, blind, ignorant hatred that alienated me from people who possibly could have helped, and now I no longer want help.
But I wonder, when I started posting at pro-ana communities, did I cease to become anorexic and instead become a "fake" anorectic?
Would it then be acceptable for any doctor to ask a patient whether they post at pro-ana communities before accepting them for treatment, and refuse services if they do, since pro-ana comm

I just want you to know that you opened up my eyes! And I feel horrible about things I've said to pro-anas. I never cussed them or wished death but i have thought some horrible things.While I still DO NOT agree with pro-ana you really opened my eyes! And you were sooooooo imformed with your post!Thank you for making me realizing that ana/mias ARE people too!!
