    I understand, but I don't believe that life ever is a race. I think it's a fight between you and your 'Skinny.' (i.e, that little voice in your head, that calls you foul names) But, yeah, people judge you every single second of the day but that doesn't mean, we aren't judging them, by calling 'em snobby, or a poser.
    And, yeah, we do have a world and society that worships sex.

    Well societies are overwhelmed with sexual messages nowadays. The old adage that sex sells- turned it into such an overwhelming soft power that it becomes overrated now.



    I used to be in agreement of the beautiful people with big egos cliche.

    But throughout my life- I've been observing how it's quite an absurd idea- just as absurd as these sayings: how ugly people are kindhearted/have inner beauty, how the rich/upper-class are arrogant twits, how the poor/lower-class are humble sages.

    Don't get me wrong- some does fit the archetype. But life's far more filled with shades of gray.



    For example some of my experiences stated that it's not the rich guy who's a pr**k about wealth, it's that poor guy/new money/middle class guy who's all about wealth and material stuffs.



    It's not that beautiful girl who's shallow about looks- it's those ugly/average-looking girls who're shallow and insecure and envious and judge others from looks.



    It's not that prestigious family who shuns lower-class family, it's the lower-class family who're being obnoxious social-climbers and disgustingly ambitious.



    It's not that most popular kid at school who acts high-and-mighty, it's those little people surrounding him and basking in his coolness who act like top-ranked wh*res, believing in their twisted minds that they become cool by associations.





    Do you know what it means?

    For me, that means there are various kind of people in various roles, "class", status and many more attributes we have in life. Yes that means- there must exist a true blue perfect people, just like there must exist the opposite. I'd say, to envy these "perfection", to feel insecure and cry foul about the unfairness of the world are just us being humane, but I wonder if these attitudes beget more darkness?



    I think some people turn into twisted individuals exactly because they envy these "perfections" and in their attempts to be one of these perfections, they end up exactly the opposite. And they hurt and burn and affect others around them, making others feel bad about themselves and wonder if they're the wrong ones, if they missunderstand these twisted individuals, etc. worse, when these affected people start to get influenced by these sad people... And turn into one of them. And start to immitate these pathetic twisted souls.



    So nowadays I keep myself in this belief- that there must exist true beauties. They are just not going to bother or hurt others or turn others into uglies simply by being themselves. That rich guy? That handsome guy? That smart guy? That royalty/noble guy? That happy guy? They are too busy being happy with their life- and won't be the ones who spread hatred and bully others, make others feel bad and beat others down.

    If you meet these seemingly-perfect individuals who convinced you otherwise, then congratulation my friend- you just meet a fake version of the real deal. Fake things beget more fakes and ugliness- the original or the genuine ones won't cause such damages in the long run(they can cause bit envy, you know what I talk about ;)). Don't bother with fakes- you'd find that beneath these perfection they projected to the world, there are creepy things they buried deeply. Instead, start looking at yourself and work to improve it- and you may dig unpolished diamonds you are unaware of all these times- just waiting to be found and cherished.

      People can be nicer to look at then others...aesthetically..you know shape,size and symmetry wise .I think we've got to accept that. But its important to not let that define you or how you percieve others like you say theres a grey area with peoples personalities. Looks should only account for a small percent of their true beauty. It also has to be said thou that in our society the majority dont think like this. There is a lot of insecurity..the media has a lot to do with it. These true beauties you talk of are rare. That said, I will personally try and be more like this ,self assured non-judgemental.

    True...People will judge no matter what but I think think that being happy is key. Never judge a book by its cover, some of the most most of the amazing people Ive ever known are way more Beautiful on the inside then they are on the outside.

    Babe, you are so sexy, I don't think you are looking in the right mirror. We all have our down days and there are some out there that still believe in fairy tales therefore wrongfully assume that beauty is only what they see whereas in reality people should be loved for who they are and what they contribute to society. You are very handsome babe ;9

    totally with you man. I am 26 and i have four years extra of what you are saying here. I am here to chat. I hope you find some special girl soon and also start seeing yourself for the good things u got. Don't add four more years of feeling negative thoughts. It won't increase chances of you meeting someone. Trust me, I know as I said I am 26. I have never had a gf, or a kiss even. But bro, try and find ways to be happy, socialize, and take advice from some of the women who commented on here for you.
    I don't get too many comments either. Women have a psyche i cant understand and i want you to succeed were I have not. I got basketball, but my knees from all the balling i have done over the years do hurt sometimes now.

    I could have written this myself - i feel exactly the same!
    I often feel less valuable as a human being because im not drop-dead gorgeous. I know this is ridiculous deep down, but i cant help feel that way, regardless. My confidence is rock bottom at the moment and i know that if i liked what i saw in the mirror (and other people found me more attractive too) i would certainly have the drive and confidence and ability to achieve more from life.
    I feel like a 2nd class citizen. Like the fat kid at school that never gets picked for PE. On the sidelines of life watching all the beautiful people succeed and have fun and experience life to the max.
    I wish with all my heart i could FEEL beautiful, even if i cant look it. Im sure confidence adds a little attractiveness to a human being. But i cant help feel plain ugly.
