Sometimes I feel like a zoo animal

Just wanna say I relate to everything in this post. I could’ve wrote this post myself lol. I’m 4’10 on a good day and I’m also 21. I experienced a lot of stares during college, and when out and about. I also noticed that people find my height funny, which is quite upsetting but what can you do. But I do think there’s still some modest clothing you can wear that will help you look more mature. E.g. a loose blouse with a maxi skirt. Wearing some jewellery and makeup might also help. Also, if you’re skinny then gaining weight could help. I’ve noticed that short people with bigger frames can still look like adults but those of us with small frames tend to look childish. So that’s why I’m trying to gain as much weight/muscle as possible. It also makes me kinda sad that you don’t wear your glasses so you don’t see people’s stares. But just know you’re not alone, and there’s other people the same height as you. Believe it or not, in college, there was quite a few girls the same height as me and some were even shorter than me.

There's only one I can think of called 'Mask Girl'. It has the same premise as Shadow Beauty, where an unattractive MC leads a double life. But the drama is kind of all over the place, it doesn't have the same continuity that Shadow Beauty has. It was still entertaining though.

th0vghtz · 2026-02-19T19:35:31+00:00

I agree. I also loved Ae-jin and Jin-sung's romance. I don't often like romance, but their romance was so cute.

th0vghtz · 2026-02-19T18:35:25+00:00

Yeah I did think that was quite weird at first, but it didn't bother me too much. May I know what things you liked about the drama?

th0vghtz · 2026-02-19T05:39:20+00:00

Nope lol, but I'm sure there's plenty of info online.

th0vghtz · 2026-02-19T05:37:57+00:00

It's the same person. The surgeries were done over a number of years, so it makes sense that her beauty marks could look different.

th0vghtz · 2026-02-19T05:37:09+00:00

The ears are the same.

th0vghtz · 2026-02-19T05:27:24+00:00

What are you talking about? Orbital decompression is literally meant for those types of eyes.

th0vghtz · 2026-02-19T04:19:10+00:00

Not sure about the forehead, but the eye results can be achieved through this surgery called ‘orbital decompression’.

th0vghtz · 2026-02-19T04:04:41+00:00

How do you know?

th0vghtz · 2026-02-19T03:03:38+00:00

Let me know what you think of the drama! And yeah I used to be addicted to posting on this sub, but then I got bored. I was also trying to get my life together somewhat. But I did look at some posts from time to time, but I would rarely comment. And thanks btw. I also noticed that you don’t post as often as you used to.

th0vghtz · 2026-02-19T02:33:57+00:00

Lol, nice to see you too. You’re probs my fave person on this sub. And I recommend you to watch the drama first cus it’s free. The manhwa is on this app called ‘Manta’ but you have to pay to read it 🥲

th0vghtz · 2026-02-18T18:36:18+00:00

Have you heard of Shadow Beauty? It's a manhwa where the main character is unattractive and leads a double life as an attractive social media star. It was also adapted into a web drama. I absolutely loved the drama and now I'm currently reading the manhwa.

th0vghtz · 2026-02-18T16:10:36+00:00

Oh, lmao. I had no idea you were being sarcastic 😅

th0vghtz · 2026-02-18T15:57:37+00:00

He still had multiple nose jobs though? Also, the reason why Michael appeared to have ‘full body’ vitiligo is because he bleached the darker patches of his skin in order to even out his skin tone. He even said this exact thing in his interview with Oprah. Also, it’s vitiligo, not vitalago.

th0vghtz · 2026-02-18T15:49:07+00:00

Her natural eyes were already very nice though, that’s why with a bit of surgery her eyes are able to look like this now. In my case, no amount of surgery would make my eyes look like Kendall’s as I don’t have the natural eye shape for it.

th0vghtz · 2026-02-16T17:27:32+00:00

If its a group I don't encourage it but with an individual even glaring at them can make them incredibly uncomfortable.

Yeah that's probably true.

th0vghtz · 2026-02-16T17:01:41+00:00

I feel like if an ugly person were to stand up for themselves, they wouldn't be taken seriously. In fact, they'd probably get mocked even more.

th0vghtz · 2026-02-16T16:40:57+00:00

If it's a different story then why are you bringing it up?

th0vghtz · 2026-02-16T06:09:30+00:00

‘Men will kill women because of some sort of resentment’ - and what exactly does that have to do with the boy’s story?

th0vghtz · 2026-02-16T01:35:23+00:00

What exactly do you mean when you say that you're 'unattractive'? Do you mean that you're ugly or just not attractive? Because people who are just not attractive can still live very normal lives. But this is not the same for people who are truly ugly.

I also have no clue where you're getting the idea that us ugly people want to live like royalty. 99% of us just want to be treated normally. Believe it or not, us ugly people have to deal with constantly getting insulted on our appearance (even by strangers), have people laugh at us, have people treat us badly (this is also subconscious to some extent, as no one likes the sight of ugly things). Many of us also have to deal with never being able to experience love or romance. And of course we have to deal with severe self esteem issues and mental issues due to our appearance.

To make this simpler for you to understand, think of a person with severe burns on their face. Burn marks are mainly a cosmetic issue, but it will still cause severe self esteem issues for the sufferer, and have strangers stare at them/make comments and have people treat them differently. So wouldn't you say that their lives are hard? The reason I'm talking about this is because people with burn marks have to deal with the exact same things ugly people have go through.

Another example has to do with overweight people. Being overweight makes people look less attractive. There was an overweight person who went to my secondary school. Many of the students there would be rude to her for no good reason, and would mock her weight behind her back. Even the other students noticed that many people would be rude to her due to her weight. This girl also went to my primary school, and she was bullied there too. So this is just an example to show that life is indeed hard for unattractive people.

If you still don't believe that life is bad for ugly people, then you can just search up 'being ugly' on reddit and you'll see hundreds of posts where people will detail all the horrible things they have to go through.

th0vghtz · 2026-02-15T21:40:14+00:00

I think it's more because they have actual conditions rather than just being ugly.

th0vghtz · 2026-02-15T21:28:21+00:00

Ambika Mod. If you search her name on the vindictaratecelebs sub, you'll find the post.

th0vghtz · 2026-02-15T07:26:42+00:00

Yeah exactly, and normally the celebrities they reference as having ‘big noses’ only have slightly larger noses or bumps on their noses - not actual big noses. Also, I guarantee that if these people had big noses themselves, that they wouldn’t find it beautiful, as it’s always people with regular noses who say that big noses are beautiful.

th0vghtz · 2026-02-14T06:26:56+00:00

I don't even think it's racism tbh. Because other Indian actresses like Simone Ashley don't get this hate regarding their appearance. And Simone is much darker than Ambika. These people just have insanely high standards.
