I don’t understand the mentality people who insist on making comments to strangers about their weight.

“I don’t understand the mentality people who insist on making comments to strangers about their weight.”

I took a driving course and it discussed the personality type that caused the bulk of accidents. It was the punishing parent. I think this personality type is present all the time and we only recognize it in the driving realm. My dad had this personality type and he’d make comments about fat people. It’s an attempt to control what those people look like. (Ridiculous, I know.) It’s also a criticism which implies the person speaking is better than the person being criticized.
