Judging by her comics, words, and actions, she's just really freaking dense. She has zero self-awareness, and I'm genuinely surprised that someone so blissfully ignorant of others' feelings still has friends. I buy her stuff (regardless of her shaky moral compass) because I like her style and her "crimes" haven't been so severe that I'd hate to support her, but I wouldn't want to be her friend. It may be a stretch but I feel that her comics are really telling of where her virtues lie, and I'm always left feeling empty and numb at the stories' ends. She has no substance. She's a flat, two-dimensional void of a person. Her comics give me a weird feeling reminiscent of quietly drowning deep depression.

She gives me a bizarrely uncomfortable feeling overall.

I'm in a Texas comm. It's the south, so of course gigantic people are everywhere. There's an obese lolita in my comm who often brings up her size and weight when talking about dress sizing, etc., and I freeze whenever she does. Sometimes it's a simpler, "Oh, I could never fit into that! I wish I could, though..." Other times she uncomfortably overshares, "My sister says I'm too fat to look good in this" while looking to us to comfort her for it. But then it's a more surprising comment like, "I can't go to mini meets at restaurants... The booths are too small." This girl can't fit into a restaurant booth -- A BOOTH!! She's MASSIVE. And she's obviously got some mental issues, what with her blaming the booths for being too small rather than her being too large. I finished dropping 1/4 of my bodyweight recently, and I've realized how really fucking easy it is to lose weight. It's called self control! Discipline! Things she's apparently never heard of! I'm getting to the point of holding back the primal urge to yell, "We get it! You're FAT! So what are you gonna FUCKIN' DO ABOUT IT????"

Her attitude makes me not want to accommodate her. I want to go walking through a park and enjoy nature while she's bumbling behind us, sweating like a pig and gasping for air after walking 50 feet. I want to sit at restaurant booths where we're out of the walkways and we have more privacy (so we won't be gawked at so much). She can sit pull up a couple chairs to sit on at the end of the table and block the walkway if she wants. I want to wear the pretty dresses I've earned through discipline while she will only be able to wear replicas and fish for pity about it.

How do I react tactfully to her comments? I can't lie and glaze over it by saying, "Oh, you're beautiful just the way you are!" I don't want to lie and give a backhanded compliment like, "At least you have a cute face." If I dodge the subject, it's blatantly obvious and comes off as rude. Most of the other girls go quiet.

Somewhere, there is a photo of me dressed as Kotori flipping off the camera in a Wal-Mart parking lot.
I'm so sad I'll never get to see it.
