Listen, I mean this in the nicest way possible. As someone who bounds around at 6'6" and have spanned 265-330 at various points in my history. I'm going to be honest with you and not coddle you on this issue. Yes, you're overweight, a doctor or a physician would tell you the same.
This thread isn't about that, and as you said, it's not bothering you enough to do something about it. But all I can say I I suggest you try. My experience says "yes" you will feel so much better with the weight off.
Society is full of shallow fuckheads, while not everyone is, there's probably more prejudice to "fatties" than minorities. If you're worried about job opportunities passing you up, or potential friendship/relationship issues, being solidly confident and settled with "who you are" is an important thing. Your physical presence needs to match your mental presence. You need to project outward what you want people to see on the inside before they'll take the time to get to know the real you.
all that aside, I know EXACTLY how you feel when it comes to people using your stature to compensate for their lack of.
In my experience, despite what others say in this thread, they don't "look up to you" in any sort of reverence, they look down at you as a "tool" in their toolkit to deal with and involve you in problems that aren't yours to deal with.
Your mileage may vary.
