We all have that one friend who we can share everything with, right? Well, imagine if that friend suddenly asked you to change the way you dress because it made them uncomfortable. That’s exactly what happened to a 19-year-old girl who finally found confidence in her body after working hard on her mental and physical health. But when she started wearing clothes that showed off her toned midriff, her close friend began making comments and eventually demanded she cover up.

This young woman found herself in a tough spot when her close friend, who she’s always been open and honest with, demanded she cover up her body. After working hard on her mental and physical health, she finally felt confident in her body and started wearing more revealing clothes.

She decided to stand her ground, asserting that her body is not a trigger and that her friend’s words were damaging to her mental health. Now, she’s putting some distance between them and waiting for her friend’s response. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
