I have ARFID and struggle with low appetite in general. I somewhat frequently eat like the equivalent of 1 days worth of calories over like 2 or 3 days but I try my hardest not to have that happen. There are times where it has been 1 days worth of calories over more days to the point where I lost a dangerous amount of weight.

This whole ignorant boomer logic of “they will eat it if they are hungry enough” is just some bullshit these people say because they don’t have the critical thinking skills to question things they have been taught by their parents. In some cases it can lead to significant health consequences for their children.

I know it isn’t as simple as just saying you shouldn’t feel embarrassed but you can’t help that your having these struggles with eating. These people who say these comments like you were talking about on Facebook likely would not even be able to function as well as you are with the struggles you have. This would especially be the case if they somehow switched lives with you for a time but didn’t have the coping skills you have been forced to develop over a lifetime of dealing with this. These people have limited empathy for other people’s situations.

We usually have the christmas parties at my house and I am able to go to my room. I would be a lot more anxious if I had to go somewhere else to a party that I could not go away from. I always dread having to go out for other parties.
