I genuinely hate attractive people

I think you're blowing it out of proportion. Attractive people have it easier in many, many respects - it is true. But it doesn't automatically mean one's life is easy or free of problems.

Everyone has problems. Attractive people have attractive people problems, rich people have rich people problems. They might make life easier than for other people, but we all have intersections of privilege.

I'm someone who is considered very conventionally attractive. I'm also a brown woman and I am physically disabled. Having effortlessly clear skin and shiny hair and shit makes it hard for doctors to believe you're sick; I have been tacitly accused of malingering even. I wasn't taken seriously until I ended up on life support.

Just because I was born beautiful, it didn't stop me from being abused, becoming crippled (may have contributed actually), or having to care for a terminally ill spouse/being cared for by my dying spouse and knowing that fact. It didn't stop me from having a whole ass list of mental illnesses that I have been diagnosed with, and in fact those illnesses and my looks and gender caused me to be written off as dramatic about my pain.

You sound like an incel. Just because you're not attractive, doesn't mean you don't have other privilege. I want to empathize with you because it's clear you're suffering, BUT SO IS EVERYONE ELSE.

The human condition is suffering! Suck it up. Who promised you life would be easy? No one's life is easy. Our minds will create suffering where none exists. Happiness is a skill. Why the fuck do you feel entitled to it being handed to you?
