i just hate that the correct response to “those people called me ugly and now i feel bad” is apparently “no, it’s alright because you’re beautiful!”

it’s not alright because you’re beautiful, it’s just alright. why create a situation where it’s alright because you’re beautiful and if something happens to take that away from you then it’s not alright anymore? jesus, i know people who live their life in fear of getting in a disfiguring accident - way more afraid of “disfiguring” than “dangerous”. like, “i’d rather die than come out of it looking ugly” afraid. fuck that.

new rule for my life: if someone ridicules me for being ugly the correct response is “fuck them”, as it should be. they see ugly and they can’t even control themselves enough not to say something. they see ugly and they literally cannot deal with it. i’m difficult for them to look at and they can’t even CONCEIVE of someone who exists for a reason other than looking good for them.

yo, that is the real problem here: this feeling of entitlement to how “palatable” someone is to YOUR personal tastes, not ugliness. i don’t care if you think they’re ugly on the outside or the inside. the ONLY person who should be shaped to your standards is you.

Man, I get that beauty’s great and all and other people get really into it but I wish it wasn’t the go-to compliment for women for some of these reasons.

And also that “inner beauty” wasn’t shorthand for “but you have all these positive personality traits that basically act as the equivalent of outer beauty, which, as we know, is the most important thing of all”.
