Well I guess that makes it a little better? A little less insane, at least.

Some of this shit has to be parody right? I feel so sad for these people.

I reckon a lot of the extreme bonafide-proana stuff (things like sitting in a cold shower to burn calories, fasting for weeks, the sort of stuff you'd see in a mid-2000s pro ana livejournal) is hyberbole that the posters talk about to seem extreme and 'the sickest.' Eating disordered people, particularly Anorexics, are competitive as shit.

That said, no, most of it is not a parody.

They're in a constant competition with everyone around them, both real life and the internet. In real life it's about being the skinniest person in the room, and in online proana spaces it's indeed about who's the most 'dedicated'.
As horrifying as some of the accounts sound, they're not parodies but you can still rest easy knowing 90% of the cases are faking it or making it sound way more extreme than it actually is.
The girls in these forums, especially the teens and preteens, like to pretend they live this dainty ana lifestyle where they only live off of diet coke and cigarettes when in reality they're eating over 1000 calories every day and go out to eat at fast food places multiple times a week.
 
The sperging over Eugenia Cooney is very entertaining on Reddit. People have these far reaching projections about how sinister her whole career is, it's just a skinny, somewhat immature girl streaming and enjoying a typical 15 year olds level of interests. Disney, pokemon, etc. It's just a like, little kid making content except she's 27.

If she were about, say 20 lbs overweight she'd be really fucking hot though. Right now, not so much.

She seems to be stuck at the mental age and in this certain kind of pop culture as when her Anorexia likely began. Everyday is 2009 for Eugenia. She is perpetually 14 years old psychologically.

jesus, if you need attention this bad just cut yourself, one of your middle school guidance counselors is bound to notice.
 
Omg when I was younger I was in several proana communities, I was real edgy man. The glorification of mental disorders were overwhelming, why do ppl wanna BE their disorder? How boring one person must be when all they got to lean on is their ED. Anyway I got banned for eating to much :story:

Odd.... Onision has the same temporal disability.
 
Anorexia tends to go hand in hand with OCD and the general desire for things to stay strict, unchanging, controlled and otherwise “safe”, so I can see why most anas like Eugenia struggle to grow up. Of the countless negative effects that outweigh (lol) any results you MIGHT, hard MIGHT, temporarily get, it stunts your emotional growth just as much as your physical growth. You become too distracted and paranoid to dip your toes into new interests even if they aren’t food related at all. It eats away (lol2x) at your personality until the only thing that defines you is anorexic.

No wonder pro-anas need to snatch other little dumbasses up into their tumblr world. It’s not a mental illness, it’s a ~~cOmUNitY~~

Very true. The personality characteristic that goes along with eating disorders more than any other is perfectionism. Anorexics especially are all 100% type A controlling perfectionists.

It's about controlling yourself and controlling the world around you. They don't hate anything more than being out of control.

I used to live with a girl with severe anorexia. She would regularly buy $100 worth of groceries (all vegan, gluten free, organic, etc). She would cook elaborate three course meals from scratch and then have ONE BITE and leave the rest on the counter to rot. The cupboard and fridge were full of expired, unused foods all the time. When I would cook (for myself), she would come up behind me and tell me how to do it - how much water to put in the pot, which burner to put it on, which temperature, how to cut the food, etc. It was extremely sad because I loved her but she was very sick - and I couldn't fucking stand being around her. She would get very angry and passive aggressive if things didn't go exactly her way all the time.

birds of a feather.

anorexics are wretched because they want to suck others into the same behavior, compete with each other. It's not as interesting to me as bulimics- they're sloppy, nasty and die in interesting ways.

Well, the tumblrina brand of anorexics, yes.
The same brand as autists who bash neurotypicals, self-harmers who post edgy black-and-whites of their scars for clout, and child abuse survivors calling abuse on something as simple as a mother raising her voice at her child as “physical assault on the eardrums.” What makes these little fleas so goddamn annoying isn’t their mental illness itself, it’s their toxic stance on pro-mental illness. There is a huge difference between being accepted as having a mental illness and demanding to be put on a pedestal because you have one as you’re pardoned for toxic behavior because muh demons.

There are anorexics who genuinely struggle with their disorder and wouldn’t want their worst enemy to go through what they go through. The girls you’re talking about, the basis of this thread, are better called pro-anorexics than actual anorexics themselves because in reality, they’re a bunch of nasty little tweens obsessed with extreme diet trends and KPOP. No shit they need help before they really spiral into something that will shake them to their core, but my long drawn-out point is, anorexia doesn’t make a person wretched. Holding onto your mental illness like a token to an exclusive club rather than a hurdle to learn and grow from does.
