Maybe you should move. From my experience, sometimes you just don't get along with certain people or they don't get along with you for some reason. If you can, try a different place and find people who are nicer to you. It can be difficult to find your place in life, society, family, etc. Good luck and don't feel too sad. Sometimes being alone is better than being with all the wrong people.

i am really sorry to hear that from you. this is nothing on our hand on how you should look. God is responsible for that. there are several example where ugly looking or people with less personality are the famous person in world. Nelson Mandela, Collin Power, Bijay Amritraj to name a few. so please dont get upset for this simple reason. just try to increase your personality little bit. there are lots of material availabel in internet to read on this toipc. http://www.iqtestnow.com/personality.html http://www.ptindia.com/courses/persona/faq.htm there is another good thing you can try. people always have some weak points in their life. you can turn your weak point to the strongest point of your life by fixing a target on that. try to set some goal and achieve that. you have to be little bit stubborn on that point and you have to prove yourself that nothing is unachievable. Good luck to you.

I don't believe that one's appearance affect his / her relations with other people. as long as you have a nice heart and attitude, I believe people will like you and close to you

In school, I was treated the same way until I found situations in which I could let my personality show through. Then some of the popular kids started talking to me. That's when my life changed. The ones who didn't speak to me now did after seeing me for really me. Let your personality shine.

You state that you do not have a good personality. Which has nothing to do with your primary looks unless you walk around with a scowl on your face and pouting or sneering lips. Then you speak of beauty which is not personality but your physical looks, Which is confusing. Because one is physical the other is your psycological or emotional and mental outlook on life. If you feel your physically not beautiful then you have low self esteem. Because looks should not be important as all that, you can alter your looks, a new hair style, dental care, if acne you can get it treated, man grow a moustache and or beard. Smile more, walk proudly not like your ashamed or scared. Perhaps change your style of dress. Personality is how you behave, if your aggressive, shy, mean, funny,smart, bully, many things create personality. Where you harassed, teased, put down, told you were ugly or some such thing. Do not believe people who do that, they think they are better than you because they have low self esteem and to call you names or pick on you makes them think they are big and important and if out give into it and listen and believe them then they win. Don't let them win. I know what I speak, when I was growing up all through school, I was called nasty names, and harassed for no good reason. I am not "beautiful" but I am certainly not ugly either. I am average looks maybe pretty to some, nice looking to others. I decided the people who told me such things were ignorant, foolish people and felt sorry for them, I ignored them and decided I was better than them. So after awhile they saw I did not care what they said or thought and they stopped harassing me. I smiled, I said nice things to them, I stood up to them and if they still acted stupid I did not go around them. You can have friends, better 2-3 very good trustworthy friends than thirty good time friends who are gone the minute your in trouble or need help. Good true friends stay with you no matter what or what you look like or are going through. I have about ten very close friends and of those four whom I would call best friends. So how you look you can do much to change it, even go so far if you want to have surgery, but personality you can ignore the stupid people and find people who like you just for who you are and smile, smile, smile and be yourself not mean, or nasty or carrying a grudge but pleasant and postive.

I am sorry that people do not treat you in a more kindly way. I truly don't understand it. There is no reason that anyone should discriminate against you based on your looks. As another person suggested, maybe you would be better off moving to a better location. No matter what you do, I wish you well in life. I am not one of nature's most beautiful people myself and i know how it feels not to be traditionally pretty.

When you want to show others that you are smart you don't show them how beauty are you.All of us has something beauty,all,remember.I,for example,have a nice saul,and beautiful green eyes,but I not very tall or have delightful body,but I have brain.So,you I'm sure that you have your beauty,but maybe,your beauty is underscover until now.You must to met the right person who can descover your beauty! I wish u luck!Have a nice day!

Dear mgr, Who told you, you are ugly? you imagined! the appearence is only a visiting card. Once you meet somebody they judge you by your intelligence and character. Think about a handsome man who is a cheat ! how long he can get along. I feel you have to come out of your shell and interact better.eloquence makes you noticed.Be good to others love get noticed.Be philanthropicc. generosity get noticed. Gandhiji was not that handsome with his frail body and spectacles . But does anyone of us even think about his features? He was a christ like personality on the planet. what about many legends like Martin luther, nelson mandela,Jessie owens... the list has no end. forget the surroundings take the life on your hand and march the people around you will follow.Good luck.

Sure it's not your fault.. Maybe what you need is to improve your interaction method between you and someone else which you want to interact with. If you're not used to be aggresive, then try to be. You don't have to make people talk to you. You can try to talk to them. I don't think that people don't want to talk with you just because you're ugly. Be more confident, trust yourself ! ^^

I think you have been psycological scarred by your earlier exoeriences. You must understand that persinality is a psychological manifestation of your inner being. I hope you will start thinking positively of yourself and project yourself as a lovely andfriendly person. keep holding this image of yourself in your head all the time and things will begin to change. Imagine you have a lot of friends and everyone is accepting you as what you are. It is all in the mind and what you can hold in your head, you can eventually hold in your hand.

I like your comment because it is encouraging and down to earth. Yes, I believe that changing our thinking will also cause us to see things and people differently.

I feel that you should ignore such people.Beauty does not lie in physical appearance but it is a person's attitude and perspective that are more important. If you are satisfied with what you are,then there is no need to be upset at all.Life must go on.You will surely find people who will not look at you superficially but instead who will understand you as a person.I hope for the best to happen.Good luck.

firstly i would like to know your definition to personality??? is it the way u look or is it the way you carry yourself.... see u can't help it if its the former one as its god gifted and if u dont respect yourself and are low in confidence t5hen how do u expect others to come close to u... and if its latter, then u can change your attitude towards life... everything will fall in place.

man, that is not a way to think. Even the ugliest people have friends. Even dirty beggars have friends. You only need to develop your personality for you to attract people. Smile, be interesting stuff like this would make a difference.

it could be that you're just anti-social and that's the problem you would have to work on. being ugly is only an opinion. you have to know you're beautiful, or else everyone else will feel the same way. It shows in how you carry yourself and how you interact with people. I've met ugly women only to be pleasantly surprised by their smile and that smile made them very cute atleast in my opinion. maybe you're not smiling enough. Smile more and it will show. you might even feel better about yourself.

No definetly not, As being beautiful; is not their achievement it is genetically passed on from parents. The beauty of face is nothing once they come to know abt the beauty of charecter and the true beauty of the mind and soul. Try to interact with most people in very pleasing way then they will realise that you are very person to be friendly
