The sad reality for people who don't have pretty privilege

I'm a very observant person, and I've noticed how people who are conventionally attractive often receive more attention, warmth, and, at the very least, basic human decency compared to those who don't fit conventional standards of attractiveness and may already be struggling socially.

I'm not saying this because I'm fishing for compliments or looking for reassurance. I'm simply pointing out a pattern I've repeatedly noticed in the way people interact with one another. You can see the difference in how someone who is considered pretty is treated—with more patience, respect, admiration, and sometimes even kindness that they haven't necessarily done anything to earn.

Meanwhile, as someone who doesn't fit that conventional standard, I've experienced plenty of rude remarks, dismissive behavior, and situations where it feels like I'm much easier for people to dislike or treat poorly. It's difficult not to notice the contrast when you've experienced both sides of that social dynamic.

What makes it more frustrating is that attractiveness can sometimes seem to influence how people perceive someone's personality before they've even had the chance to know them. A person who is attractive may be perceived as approachable, likable, or worthy of attention, while someone who isn't may have to prove themselves just to receive the same level of basic respect.

As a person who is a new hire, I can see how pretty and conventionally attractive employees tend to receive warmer treatment, more patience, and more positive attention, even when they have barely had the chance to establish themselves. Meanwhile, those who don't fit that standard can easily be overlooked, judged more harshly, or treated as though they have to work twice as hard just to receive the same basic respect. It becomes especially noticeable when you're observing the workplace dynamics as a newcomer, because you haven't yet become accustomed to how differently people can respond to someone based simply on their appearance.

Sana Kunin na ako ni Lord

Napapagod na ako it's like the same thing and same script keeps happening in my life parang Wala na akong kawala sa ganitong sitwasyon and sawang sawa na ako. Parang Ang labo magkaroon ng pagbabago na inaasam asam ko although I sacrifice and put my effort into it it's not enough. Nawawalan na rin ako ng ganang mabuhay.

Songs that have this type vibe

Been in love with his songs since 2022 when I first heard "Bad habits" on the radio. His songs got me through the lowest time of my life.
