    Why would someone say this??
    Have a question for you guys who do people call another person ugly. That is not nice at all. And that person is trying to bring down that persons self esteem. It is so cruel and mean.
    I have always said this, we didn't make anyone, and we don't have any right to call anyone ugly, unless their ways encourage that, and that has nothing to do with the looks, but it has everything to do with the character of the person, I would like everyone here to be shown respect, though we may not always agree on certain issues, there are far too many insults, I wish that we all would find a way that would say, hey we are all human and what way do we like to be treated? Do we want to be treated as a rank, or be treated with respect as a human with love? It don't cost nothing to be nice, I am not nicer looking or uglier than anyone on this planet, I am here because my parents decided to have me, just like everyone here, we should as adults be sometimes ashamed by the way that we treat each other, and remember the young people that read this things, is this want we want them to see? Its so sad. For the ones that don't call people ugly, that's great it shows how balanced they are as human, and the ones that do, need to do a reality check on life. I respect everyone, I may not like what they say or do, but there are better ways to deal with things, than to insult their being.
    Wishful thinking, but I know that some will still carry on as there is nothing wrong with insulting others looks, but to me that is insecure, a real respectful person, will never do that to another human being.And beauty is only skin deep. Some people can be so rude and heartless. I hate to say it but girls can be so much meaner than guys.

    Having looked at your other posts, I confess to being bewildered. What are you talking about?

    Would you please provide a link, or at least a thread title and post number? In case you're unfamiliar with those terms this is post #2 in "why would someone say this" under Etiquette

    One person does that to another person or one group does that to another group for two reasons: 1) because the person or group that does it is fearful about something or is lacking in self esteem and 2) as an attempt to gain power and control over the other. In order to be successful in ethnic cleansing and war, one group has to consider another group less than human and worth living. In order to boost one's self esteem and avoid thinking he is ugly, he has to put down someone else and call him ugly. I'd immediately wonder about the name-caller's emotional health.

    Beauty is so say in the eye of the beholder, so to some people we may appear to be beautiful to other we could be unnattractive or considered ugly, anyway beauty comes from within, out ward appearances can be deceptive.


    I think the OP may have deeper issues on a more personal level about this. If you are being called or told you're ugly, ignore it, walk away, take no notice.

    Whilst it may seem they're being nasty and cruel which in one respect they are, they can only hurt your feelings or pride if you allow those words to hurts you.

    Its how you interpret what is said to you or about you. This is what's behind you feeling hurt.
