I just started working at an office for the first time in a couple of years, and on my first day, donuts were ordered to the office and someone asked me why I wasn't eating any food on my lunch break. I appreciate the concern, I guess, but why do people care what I'm eating?
>someone asked me why I wasn't eating any food on my lunch break.
What was your answer? Be honest.
>"No YOU FAT ROASTIE!!"
They just offered you a donut OP lol
People will get mad at you for no reason if you get shredded though
It's basic evolutionary biology, competition between males for mates
demoralization threads on IST are proof of this
>People will get mad at you for no reason if you get shredded though
Yeah I never realized that until I started working in an office with a bunch of 30-something soibois and fat women and noticed they were being passive-aggressive with me because I was the only IST guy there. And that absolutely is the reason why, there's no question. They would often bring up diet/exercise topics around me for no reason and try to bait me into an argument. They said it was genetic and diet/exercise doesn't affect your weight much, I just agreed and said I have good genetics and can eat whatever I want and only go to the gym twice a week so they'd shut the frick up, who cares anyway. They mostly settled down after that. But the first week or so was extremely annoying.
Shoulda told them you take a gram of DNP daily then you’d have the office to yourself in a couple months
The wii fit and zumba method.
Saying you have "bad genetics" is a weird self-insult, which is intended to be an excuse.
You are saying that your genes are bad and you are not fit to reproduce.
It's a strange Darwinian self-own when you think about it.
Normos dont think that far
They just want it to be "not their fault" that they're slobs. Taking responsibility is a massive and necessary part of growing up and becoming a man, it's a painful and burdensome process but it's rewarding character development. Soiyim would rather remain perpetual children. Being told they have weak genes absolves them of culpability for their character flaws.
> admitting to being genemogged
My office was kinda the opposite almost. A few usually went to the gym on lunch breaks, many were doing some "sport" like MTB, climbing, hiking, off-pist skiing, etc.
Tech firm and these guys ranges from mid 30's to probably 50's.
>A few usually went to the gym on lunch breaks,
How long are people's lunch breaks that they can pull this off?
Because you're part of a group and they want to know if you fit in.
This is a high school clique mentality, white collar workers confuse me. Some of them do like 1/8 hours of work per day and collect a full salary. Don't understand why business owners allow this.
All I care is that they do their job and get along, I'm not going to fire you for not eating the donut.
This is from the perspective of a business owner, I don't see a corporation as a social club really. It's a place to work.
There are times when people are just trying to be kind, although it’s still moronic because they have zero point to ask. No seriously, what are they gonna do if I look at them and tell them I’m not eating because I’m super depressed and I feel really anxious? “Oh… sorry to hear that I hope you get through it” and walk off. Just a made up example but when people do that shit it’s not with the intent of truly being concerned and it’s ducking weird. It’s usually asked because they think
>well I’m eating, the rest of the sheep heads is eating so that’s very weird that anon isn’t eating! I just HAVE TO get to the bottom of this or I’ll lose sleep over this mystery!
It’s meant I na nice way, but it’s caused by genuine stupidity and said without any real intent.
Then there’s genuine bucket crabs who feel shitty about themselves when they see anyone putting in effort to be better. These are the ones who truly try to tempt you and bring it up multiple times never accepting an answer.
I had a friend that would do this with everything.
>doing spiritual fast
>fat frick orders pizza or some shit
>keeps trying to insist I have to eat some and also pay for half of it because it’s gonna make me hungry
>keeps touching slices and trying to hand them to me
>later starts telling everyone for me to hear how great his pizza was and how he’d feel like shit if he kissed out on it
Another time
>quit weed
>moron keeps lighting joints and trying to pass them to me
>start ignoring when he does because tired of saying I’m not smoking
>starts waving them in my face like a toddler with a cool toy
>later tries to tell me I owe him money for the weed, throws a fit when I remind him I never smoked and have quit
>starts trying to get everyone to smoke later and starts talking about how great the weed is
No longer speak to this pathetic moron, but these are people to stay away from.
Anon you just pretend you eat at lunch/only eat a small lunch, and you'll "take it home and eat it later". Its way easier to do that than just say no. Normies are autistic like that and take a fake interest in it.
The local fat moronic woman who shouldnt have kids but does, can eat 10 cakes from a multi pack and no one bats an eye. But anon is losing weight and says hes skipping lunch? Massive deal gets made and you get asked about it 100 times
I always go for long walks and then read some of my philosphy book on lunch every day. My lunch is maybe a mcdonalds wrap (cause its cheap and portable) but ive not eaten a single piece of food offered by a coworker. If its hot food I say ive already eaten, if its cold food I say thanks and say I'll wrap it up for later as a treat then throw it away when I get to a bin near my home.
They probably think you’re broke and were going to offer to grab you lunch.
People don't like it when you don't conform to what they do.
Find other ways to fit in with them and show that you value them and being part of their team.
This. Deck out your desk with marvel funkopops and dragon dildos
They have nothing else to talk to you about and just want to make their day mildly more interesting before they go home. They don't care even a small amount about what you do. You could give literally any reason and the worst thing that will happen is they just think you're weird.

Happened to me recently too. Just politely ignore them
I work a physical job and make less money but the people at my work are mostly really good, except for the sales team and even then only a few have been truly insufferable. my direct manager used to play state level baseball, my warehouse manager is an avid firearms enthusiast and brutally mogs my gun collection, store manager played football and is cool as shit, literally has told me to tell customers to frick off before. main driver is a 6'6 ex army dude with some great stories and is very fit. one of my coworkers is a Mexican from los banos and Compton who lost like 150 pounds, quit alcohol and weed over the last 2 years and is literally managing 2 warehouses by himself now and is deeply religious. It seems that jealous fat morons are symptom of white collar workplaces and working with women. when i started to lose weight literally everyone was super supportive and only after i explained why i was skipping some lunches did they stop offering to spot me food. it seems that you just need to find better people to be around.
>food
>donuts
>office colleagues hating on you for being fit
Does this actually happen in America? Every office I've been in, the management/important people are all fit (also popular and well liked). Its only postwall secretaries and HR roasties that are fat.
The normies stopped bringing boxes of donuts to share after I ate the entire box on several occasions.
