My friend has been starving himself and vomiting up his food consistently for the past 2 years i’d say, he’s about 65kg whilst being around 6’1, i try to tell him that it’s bad for your health and that sooner or later he’ll just put the weight back on again anyway, but he hasn’t, he’s stayed being relatively skinny and there has been no changes in his behaviour or personality in fact i’d say he’s much happier than he’s ever been.

Your friend has an eating disorder. It’s called bulimia nervosa. It’s extremely dangerous for your mental and physical health, and not natural at all. Your friend needs professional help.
It doesn’t matter how happy he seems or how little his personality has changed otherwise. We can’t be with people 24/7. And even if we are, we can’t ever fully understand what’s going on in their heads.
Eating disorder rates are on the rise rn. And a not-so-fun fact is that eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of all psychiatric disorders, even higher than depression.
Your friend needs professional help, and you need to respectfully but firmly guide him towards getting that help.
