If someone thinks that they are respecting themselves by willfully making decisions that they know are terrible for their health

I'm gonna need you to point out someone saying this before I take this claim seriously.

I know I have plenty of personal flaws, but I’m willing to take criticism of them.

Unprompted criticism of your body is just bullying. Accepting that requires a lack of self respect.

I’m not going to expect respect for doing fuck all about my personal problems and I don’t think anyone else should.

You're dragging the goalposts around and humping them, at this point. I didn't say "respect for doing nothing." Just... respect. The basic respect a human deserves for being human. Not getting on your knees, calling them lord, and complimenting their choices of fatty food. Just the bare minimum of not bullying them. Is that so hard?

I respect people that put in hard work and effort towards achieving their goals

Okay? But not every action is one to be judged on that criteria. Not everything is done to meet a goal. Just walking through town isn't one of those things.

I don’t respect pity parties.

Who's asking you to? Where's the pity? Where's the party?
