Why do people hate ugly people?

I know I'm aesthetically repulsive. I've known it from the time I came into senses. But it's not like I chose to be ugly. If I had a choice, I would choose to be what we call "normal", or "average", not exceptionally beautiful.

My ugliness has not made me rude, and I never pick on others. I don't even have a problem with beautiful people. They are blessed and loved, and I can only wonder what it feels to be beautiful like them.

But why do people hate ugly people this way? With the cursing, "die" statements, open hatred and sick behaviour? We feel the same way beautiful people do, we feel the same joy and sorrow just like any other human being.

I agree we don't deserve a lot of things that beautiful people do, but do we not deserve to be treated decently just for politeness' sake, if not for anything else?

Update:

Thanks for the kind words everyone. It feels nice to know that there are so many people who think like true human beings.

I think I'll start spending more time with my family, since they are the ones who love me unconditionally. My little brothers are fantastic and my sis is probably the kindest person of earth, who shed tears when I was joked about for waking up the dead.

It's just that sometimes, the outside world gets a little too much to bear. But I guess the "good" wouldn't have any meaning if it wasn't for the "bad".

    go see a doctor. get some meds. and TRY! if you workout, eat right, and take off stress, you can have beautiful skin, healthy hair, and a nice body. so even if you are ugly, the nice hair, body and skin will be a plus and make you NOT ugly. A positive attitude is always a bonus to getting a boyfriend, as well as a confidence. Being pretty for a lot of people is not easy, and you actually have to try! idk why, but i saw this thing on oprah the other day and it was about a girl who was about 20. she was fat, ugly, unhealthy. she decided to go vegan and everything in her life turned around for her. she is really pretty, has nice skin, has a great body, and feels amazing. i think she was bipolar too and it made her so much better, i mean she is on oprah now! i think her book is called the Kind Diet, but i forget her name... but try to find that episode if you want to try that. also, try going somewhere to get your make up done (maybe at the mall or something) and so it will help. ask if they know how to contour noses. (it is some illusion thing, it can look really good if you have a big nose like i do). but the main point is, loose weight and you will find so much more confidence.

    The human hates ugly things no matter what, sort of like a pain receptor.

    We rationalize In our heads that we shouldn't feel that way because our Consciousness has determined that this Is a negative way to look at another person but we can never get away from the physical aspect of the conundrum because our eyes and minds have concluded.

    The funny thing is a lot of people think they are pretty that are really ugly and sometimes they get away with it...I think there is more to being pretty than just a face...its about attitude, confidence, and your personality. These things might not be noticeable at a glance but usually can be noticed..people who are ugly but have these qualities can still do very well in terms of attraction.

    It's all in the brain if you ask me, if we never saw anyone better looking than them, how would we know that person isn't good looking?

    Females have always hated me because of my looks. It hurts because I cant do **** about it., I'm a very ugly young man and I don't hang around my friends no more because they look way better than me and females always show them attention, but give me hate & despite. That's not a good feeling so I walk around with my head down and never look people in the eye when I speak to them.

    I don't think anyone should be hated, but certainly nobody should be hated or made to feel bad because of the way they look. I wish that more people had tact and a sense of kindness. I'm surprised by what people will say aloud with no provocation whatsoever. I'm sure everyone has had some point in their life where somebody audibly (and rather unkindly) has voiced an opinion about their looks or a feature they might find unattractive. I know I have. It gets people nowhere. I think it's sad that you somehow think that "beautiful" people are more deserving of things than you are, though. I wish people wouldn't feel that way. Appearance doesn't warrant entitlement.

    What makes you think that you are ugly? And if you seem to be to yourself and others why does that mean that you do not deserve the same things that they do? There are many not so attractive people who seem to really be very popular. They for the most part, rise above the comments and try to be beautiful on the inside. I realize this is sounding corny to some, but think of it, I can think of lots of stars that are and they rise above it. You need to find the good qualities about yourself and believe in yourself. Maybe you feel like you are some kind of Shrek, but still he found his love, or if you are a lady then vice versa. NEVER GIVE UP, THE THING THAT YOU THINK REPULSIVE MANY PEOPLE MAY BE THE VERY THING THAT SOMEONE ELSE MAY NOT EVEN CARE ABOUT ONCE THEY MEET THE REAL YOU AND FIND THE KINDNESS AND INNER PERSONALITY YOU HAVE HIDDEN IN THERE. LOOK FOR YOU BEST QUALITIES, AND DON'T LISTEN TO SOME OF THESE EGOTISTICAL JERKS OUT THERE, THEY PRETEND LIKE THEIR LIVES ARE SO GREAT, BUT EVEN THEY ARE NOT ALL THAT IMPRESSIVE WHEN THEY THEMSELVES ARE REPULSIVE BECAUSE ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS THEMSELVES AND HOW GREAT THEY THINK THEY ARE.

    I do hate ugly people. Well let me rephrase, I hate people who put zero effort into their appearance. I don't think people are born ugly. I think they present themselves ugly. It takes 5 minutes to put effort in your looks. Some people look like slobs. To me, that is ugly.

    reading your post you ARE beautiful. Society doesn't have a clue what beauty really is because of media brainwashing. Also, I know there's a lot of shallow people in the world but the majority of people are not, so try and give people a little more credit. Be nice to them, if they aren't nice back then the hell with them.
