Who was not once judged for their looks?

In my life I always faced with the opinion of others.
There were times when I felt immersed in a sea full of false and uneducated people who do not know than to judge after an ice cream eaten more. These people make you think you were not beautiful ... for her beauty when limited to a clinging dress or a small number on the scale.
Like every woman I managed to wake up and I realize that beauty is smile, simplicity, happiness, love and safety. You're beautiful when you like the way you are, when you eat ice cream without remorse when those around you prove who you are and what you can do when you just exudes love and happiness.

We always judge based on looks and personality. I knew myself and I actually love myself and If people judged me and box me I had nothing to prove to them especially if they have favoritism and they want others look poor and exalt other people. I am not dependent of people's opinion, I am contented on how I see myself, the way I look and the way I live.

Humans are social beings, you cannot stop them from talking about anything and everything and anyone at any point in time if they feel like it. It's an innate nature for people to look others to see if they can be compatible with each other and thats by looks alone. I've read this study that when a person sees another person for the first time, the brain automatically registers wether the two of them will work out as friends or even more, but we are all human, our brains are part of humans, they are not perfect and they can make mistakes too. We cannot avoid people from talking and making judgements about us, we cannot control them, but we control ourselves. The best way is to prove them wrong by being the best version of yourself and treating yourself the way it deserves to be treated and loved. :)

I was in high school and because I was small boned and skinny I also got made fun of. I had one boyfriend in high school I was very fortunate to have him during school.
When I finally graduated and left for the Army day after I turned 18 I was very unsure of myself. The Army made me the strong woman I am today. But I remember when soldier would tell me I was pretty or an officer would whistle at me instead of saluting, I really thought it was just because I was a girl.
It took many years to see what others saw because my past was so marred and my parents never gave me the positive either.
So for the person I turned out to be, I have to thank my music teacher in high school, my English Teacher in high school, the 11 nuns I worked with for 3 years while I was in high school, and then choosing the Army is what gave me the good strength to come out of my shell and realize it was not what others said about you but rather what people COULD say about you. I learned to want to help and love others.
I am 60 now and I still carry the pride of emerging out of my shell and realized no matter what others say, its how we take it and turn it around to be good.
I totally agree with your discussion!

People who just sees beauty in front of them does not really see the beauty of that person. A person should always be seen with what is in her heart and not base it on the brand of clothes that she wears.

Beauty lies within. This means that beauty is not something that you relate with how good you look or you are handsome. I think that I am beautiful because I think beautiful and see beauty. It is true that some people are clever but those people who really appreciate beauty including me that it is in simplicity. Keep smiling and have beauty all over you.

I've been judged a lot. Mostly because I don't care what people think and they seem bothered by this. Apparently, it's not normal to not care about what stupid, insecure people say. I wake up every morning and don't bother to look in the mirror: why should I? What is that going to do for my life? Where will my looks actually take me? No where that I want to be, I'll tell you that.

You are 100 percent correct. Beauty is not what your face or body looks like it's whats inside that matters. How you treat others and how your treat yourself. A person can be a beauty outside but if she has a horrible personality her outter beauty is disminished by a great deal. Now if you don't have outter beauty but you are a caring person with a great personality then the outter beauty can definitely show through. The happier and more content you are in your life then more beauty from within shows through. People unfortunately think that beauty is how your face and how thin you are, the clothes you wear etc... It has nothing to do with any of that really. It all has to do with the type of person you are deep within in soul.

I think only as I was little. At that time the most known foreigners were gypsies and people thought me and my sisters were them too. There were not many mixed couples where we lived. later on nobody cared and nowadays I donĀ“t care anymore. I think that if you are happy with yourself, if you show you are a personality nobody cares about your looks.

When I was younger I am always concerned on being judged by people around me based on my looks alone. Good thing I snapped out of it earlier on and just didn't mind what most judgmental people would say about me. Those whose opinions do matter usually don't judge, and this echo do don't really matter.
