I hate how much looks matter in this world, speaking as an ugly woman

I hate how someone who has a horrible personality will get treated much better than me because they have a prettier face.
I hate how a lot of people are willing to overlook, sometimes even TOXIC flaws of someone just because they’re conventionally attractive. Meanwhile I have a decent personality but people don’t even give me a chance. Some people are just rude.
I hate the phrase “Looks don’t matter, everyone is beautiful” when that’s NOT true at all. Just toxic positivity to invalidate those who aren’t attractive and are struggling because of it.
This world is trash.

- That is unfortunately true. If anything, I’d tell you to make peace with yourself and be comfortable with who you are. If people are only caring about your looks, then they’re not worth your time, provided you believe things other than looks are important (which is what I understood from your post).
- I’m so sorry but yes, I agree. I heard a remark made about me when I was 13 or so and I’ve never gotten over it and , I hate to say this, but I’m 68 now. Words can really hurt. It really hurts to know that you’re not pretty .
- I wish there was truth to “looks don’t matter” but you’re right that the world we live in absolutely assigns pretty privilege.
People who are marked as “other than” are not treated the same in the workplace, school environments, or even at the doctor. Ask any overweight person out there how they get treated by their doctors.
I’m sorry that this world is crap, but I hope that you’re able to make peace with yourself. Everyone has something beautiful about them. I hope you find something about yourself that you think is beautiful and that you celebrate it. - When I was in my early 20s, there was this really good looking guy in my friend group. He was a sweetie and we all had a bit of a crush on him.
He ended up dating and marrying a very unattractive woman.
When someone said he could have his pick of anyone and asked why he chose her, he said because she listened to him, supported him and made him feel good about himself.
