Not to sound conceited or superficial, but i have often felt this way. oftentimes good looks seem to attract the wrong attention even when trying overly hard to be modest. also many shy people seem intimidated by good looks. any comments.

I'm quite shy and insecure, and yes I do get intimidated by extremely pretty people. Its like why would they ever want anything to do with me? I realise I like most other girls am slightly attractive, but when you see people like you, you feel inferior. I don't know if its necessarily a curse, because it seems like pretty people are always surounded by lots of friends, but thats probably just an outsiders perspective. I wonder what its like from your view though. Do you actually care about the way other people look, would you ever hang out with someone who didn't match your physical appearance? I'm not sure, but despite not being very pretty myself, I still have some gorgeous friends so I have no idea. Wow I'm rambling! Argh! Sorry about that... After a while you realise that pretty people are just like the rest of us, it doesn't mean you are a nice or worthwhile person to be around. I think being a bit uglier is good if you want to know what people are really like, rather than just having people suck up to you.
Anyway this is what I look like just in cause you were wondering: (I can't remember why I wanted to post this!): http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y285/chi_cchick/Me/071111.jpg

I would absolutely agree with you. It is the "curse of good looks". I don't believe however that it is necessarily the shy person that is intimidated by good looks, but rather the insecure person. Unfortunately these people are all over the place. I spent much of my twenties trying to "downplay" my physical features. Now, in my early thirties, I am proud of how I look, as I believe everyone should be regardless of their physical appearance. Others may believe this is not much of a hardship, but it can and will affect how you are treated in many aspects of life, including jobs, social circles, etc. As for the "wrong attention", I think I know what you are referring to...it's hard to tell whether those people have a genuine interest in you-for-you, isn't it? I've never figured a way out of that one. I wish you the best of luck, and assure you that although it is never spoken of, there are others who feel exactly as you do!

Legally i do no longer think of cheldren are allowed to be homestead on my own until 12 or 13. i became at homestead on my own after college whilst i became 10 (i'm 29 too) i became much extra matureand autonomous than my daughter is. i do no longer think of youre being overprotective. it relatively is a good time to start imposing some homestead on my own regulations like no making use of the toaster & what snacks he could have. additionally the thank you to respond to the telephone once you're actually not there. it relatively is beneficial to start next 365 days with the aid of leaving him to bypass get gasoline or some thing that would in basic terms take 10 minutes. i think of your intestine feeling is right and you do no longer ought to bypass away your son homestead on my own to furnish him area.

there probably are people out there who feel this because if there overly attractive then automatically people are going to assume that they are the superficial type and that they probably are too pretty to hang out with so then the attractive person ends up without any friends........sad huh!

Attractive persons have a much busier social schedule and find it difficult to just blend in with the rest of the crowd.

I think that if you have total pakage,smarts,humor,kindness,looks that it does have its perks,just to go on beauty alone you will see beauty fades and you have to be able to offer more. please do not just count on your beauty. Be/make yourself the full package and more.
