Can someone just be really skinny?

It depends, you can be considered underweight and still not be anorexic. I have a friend whose BMI is around 16.8 and I know she’s not anorexic (mainly because she makes me get up in the middle of the night to get her food) however there is a limit to this and after a certain point im pretty sure it just isnt possible. A BMI of 15 is considered to be starvation by the WHO and I’m pretty sure it just isnt possible to be that skinny naturally, unless maybe you’re sick…

yes, I have always been thin and eat a lot…but I am always doing some activity to burn calories, and dont even realize it…if you are super active, and eat a lot, you might be really skinny just because you are constantly burning the calories that you take in…everyone has always thought I was too skinny…or maybe anorexic…but I eat a lot…if you have a friend who is really skinny that you worry about, dont go and assume anything, she’ll feel defensive, and insulted…

well of course! everyone is built different. there are people who are super skinny that eat anything they want and just stay the same weight. there are usually other physical signs if a person has an eating disorder besides just being underweight.

yes,
