Thank you I actually took a lot of time to write this and get my point out there, without rubbing people the wrong way. I wanted people to be able to feel like they are reading a short story.

I definitely felt like I was reading a story.

Everything has pros and cons. There's nothing that is completely without a downside, but in no way is being attractive harder than being unattractive, not even close. In general you have a major advantage if you are attractive. That being said this is a good unpopular opinion.

Yeah, I understand what you're saying. Being attractive isn't without its downsides. I think this is actually a good unpopular opinion, most people just can't relate to it lol.

I think life has aspects of being hard for everyone. But a question for you to consider: would you rather be pretty, and be able to glean attention easily, with the prospect that among all that attention there's increased chance of coming across people who you're attracted to, who complete your life and give you a chance at genuine lasting happiness, a safe and comfortable bastion even if it seems like most others around you have a problem with you? Or would you rather be an unattractive man (or maybe even woman, though I can't really speak to what sort of experiences they have in life), and have nothing? No one especially wants to be around them, they don't stand out in any way, they're essentially invisible on social and dating apps, and there's basically no chance of having someone by their side (let alone someone they're actually attracted to) because no one sees them or gets to experience the personality or love they have to give, even if they did have something amazing to give hidden below the surface, because there's just no one there to allow them to express that side of themselves?

I think their point is that everyone wants to be attractive, and even idolizes beautiful people, but they don't realize how much they actually end up struggling because of that beauty.

I understand the point they were trying to make. I don't know how old OP is. Maybe they're very, very young. In which case I apologize for being so blunt. They may just be figuring life out. If they're not young, then they need to be aware that this is the hot take of a 12 year old girl.

Not many people understand. I wanted to get it out. I've never been able to because of this exact response I'd be expecting. That's fine.

Because it's like saying, "just because I'm rich doesn't mean I don't have problems". Everyone knows that rich people have problems. But it is also false to say that being rich doesn't help a LOT of problems go away entirely. Plenty of beautiful people have very good friends and loyal companions. All people have to deal with rough friendships or bad relationships. That's part of life regardless of your physical beauty.

Being pretty doesn't shield you from loneliness or jealousy. it can actually invite it in a way that wealth might create similar isolation with superficial relationships.

My main focus was to highlight the nuanced struggles that come with it; especially the isolation and jealousy that can be overlooked. It's not about saying "we get it, you're pretty," but more about sharing the complexity of that experience. Seems like you missed that and I'm sure a lot of others will too

I didn't miss it. I just don't agree that people aren't aware that literally everyone struggles, including attractive people. Yes, people are going to struggle in specific ways depending on their circumstances.

by EmuAdventurous 2 days ago

And I'm just opening up a conversation about the loneliness that can come with being pretty, the jealousy. For instance, people are jealous that I have several friends, but what they don't know is that I know that some of those friends are jealous of me and don't want the best for me. Kind of what inspired me to write this. And before you say it, yes I will be ending those friendships, but a lot has happened and it just hurts my heart.

Look, I've been harsh. I don't want to just rip you apart. I'm sorry you're hurting and I'm sorry your friends haven't been good to you.

by EmuAdventurous 2 days ago

It's all I have going for me. I'm not smart and my personality sucks. If I weren't conventionally attractive I'd kill myself. I thank god every day.

I mean you can just make up a good personality bro. You gonna get ugly one day better start faking now lol

Same thing can easily be said for a myriad of "positive" traits different people have. However, they generally don't usually get much in the way of perks for it and in most cases are simply used as servants for their "betters". At least you (the pretty, the handsome) generally get beaucoup perks for just being cute. Man up.
