Eating disorders don’t happen in a vacuum.
Research shows that constant comparison, body surveillance, and shared pressure can intensify disordered eating behaviors, especially in highly visible environments like social media and entertainment.

This isn’t about blaming individuals or diagnosing anyone. It’s about understanding how culture, comparison, and proximity can shape our relationship with food and our bodies.

Awareness matters. Context matters. And compassion matters most.
