    Who’s bringing up your appearance issues? Friends? Family? Bullies? Strangers in the street?

      Ofc not families, but social peers and strangers bring these up. I don’t have friends… Maybe so many people are just bullies?

        That seems… quite odd to me. Are you in grade school? That might explain it.

          No, I am in graduate program of a university. but it does seem like many of them never grew out of grade school…

          Not that they need to be in this sense. In a competition-driven society, you only need to survive yourself, it is a good option to kick someone else down to go up higher. Idk if such manipulation skills would require the “growing up” part.
