I'm not talking about any surface level looksmaxxing shit here like acne or needing a better haircut, I'm talking about genuine sub-3 ugliness. Facial asymmetries, recessed jaw, stuff that would require frankenstein shit to fix it. It's fine, some people are just ugly. It should be ALLOWED to be ugly with the face you're born with
Aside from the obvious - getting mistreated mostly by moids every step of the way… not being ignored, but outright aggression and insults.
Insults disguised as advice, insults disguised as concern, insults disguised as compliments (The other day I got a "You look amazing today you should wear this more often" from a really catty and mean gay coworker when I wore a sweatshirt with a high collar and hid the lower half of my face in it)
You can't even be yourself online because unless you face reveal, people won't believe how ugly you are. Not unless you prove it, which I obviously don't want to do…
I mostly just move on and try to ignore it but it got to me today, because I realised that in most online spaces I'm basically railroaded into LARPing as someone pretty.
"I bet you're cute/pretty/whatever"
If you say "I'm actually ugly enough that strange men approach me in the street to tell me this regularly" the other person sees this as you seeking compliments
"Nooo you're so hot queen"
"No way you're that bad looking"
"I'm sure you're beautiful"
