You are right, but some people tend to be kinda shallow, they judge based on appearance, maybe i shouldn't waste time trying to please such people.

As a teenager, I was repeatedly told that I was so ugly I didn't deserve to be alive. I have felt utterly hideous for years, so I really understand where you are coming from. It's hard to look yourself in the mirror when you feel that way.
I'm glad no one has ever said such cruel things to you, because no one deserves that. I am trying to work towards accepting that I didn't deserve it, either, but it's been a tough journey so far. I feel like I've grown a lot, though.
And you absolutely should NOT listen to shallow idiots who judge others based on their appearance! Those people are not worth any of your time or energy. Just tell yourself that you are better than them - because you are.
