I Hate Being Beautiful

unlike most people here, who seem to be women, i'm a man. I've really enjoyed reading the other experiences posted here on this site. As a boy I got compliments about being cute, as a teenager my sisters' girlfriends thought I...

I feel so much ambiguity. When I dress nice and put light makeup on, I get stared at and hit on to the point of discomfort. So 85% of the time I dress down, wear no makeup and mix in with the crowd. But feeling such a split is...

when you want to look good, people put you down
people assume  you have a perfect life
they want to be friends with you to spill all your secrets
girls want to make sure you are secluded
they try to find a single negative thing...

Being beautiful is not all it's cracked up to be. Why people would be jealous of me I have no clue. If they knew how I felt on the inside they wouldn't be jealous of me in a millions years. When I was younger I was...

It's not so bad being beautiful. 
Except when you walk into a room and the women grab at their men and pull them close.......

I appreciate the sharing of burdens on this web site, but I think there should be more of an emphasis on how to solve them. Here are the tricks that I have found:

1. Seek out other beautiful women to be friends with.

For the same...

I am appreciative of my beauty, but there's more than just meets the eye. I have experienced a lot of jealousies and negativity growing up. I don't have any real friends. I am 100% Chinese and is very pretty. Being a Chinese beautiful...

I used to be a chubby, ugly duckling type with glasses - and a nerd to boot! I like anime and sci fi, and I think I have watched every episode of the Twilight Zone! I blossomed during college, and how. I noticed that people I had been...

I never considered myself particularly attractive, and somehow I still don't. However, people always thought I was beautiful. It wasn't really a problem in school. I was shy and a smart kid who got good grades, kept to her circle of...

I was researching the downside of being beautiful and stumbled across this website. I would like to congratulate this initiative! It’s a kind of a taboo subject, as beauty is perceived as something 100% positive. Well... it’s not.

I feel like my opinion on beauty is one not shared by many others. Everyone I know seems to be after this idea that being beautiful means you're life becomes better, that you're more successful and happier. It took me a long time to...

About 5 years ago, I met this lady. Well just call her Megan. Megan was strikingly beautiful. She was a latina american. She had these jet black eyes that looked like they would pierce your soul. She was my supervisor and very business...

because sometimes being beautiful cant bring you the things you really want, only takes them further away.
People assume because your beautiful you have everything and that everything you want you can have...but it dont work like that...

Sometimes I wish I were just average looking. Because I was. All through my childhood & high school I was not pretty, just average, even a little dumpy. I was chubby, short haired, total tomboy, huge nerd...

Wow! It's so great to have finally found a place where beautiful people can talk about the problems we encounter in our daily lives.

I didn't know I was beautiful, I mean as a kid I was terribly shy and no beauty, even in junior high I...

I've always been very shy. Painfully shy actually. I mostly want to go unnoticed and I even walk with my head down, but it doesn't stop people from staring or doing double takes. It's hard for people to not notice me in the first place...
