Sweetheart,
It often isnt what they do to you. It is usually the way the people respond to him or her in comparison to you. The things that people allow from them that are not allowed you or the feeling of invisibility when they are around. But that really isnt that person's fault it is a much larger problem. They end up being the recipient of much attention, unwanted as well as wanted, as well as the combined anger and frustration of those who are not as well endowed . They have people who always assume that they did not receive life's rewards because of any hard work they happened to have put in, but because of their physical beauty. Also
the fear of loss when physical beauty is gone and the lack of sympathy and secret gloating they receive from others when their day in the sun is over.....
I totally understand that - I've been the target of a lot, and I mean a
lot of resentment for it before. I went to an inner city school, and I was somehow perceived as being really smart, and people resented me for it (the truth is, I'm a straight B student), they resented me enough to avoid speaking to me, and to openly tell me that they hated me for being more intelligent than them, and there I am trying to convince them that I'm not that smart, and I don't know where they got that idea from - all I wanted was for people to like me, or at the very least not really care either way, instead I was resented.
I know what it's like to have the resentment (but none of the benefits).
This guys doesn't get that, and I know he doesn't because I'm friends with his friends (this is how I know him) and they don't (seem to) particularly revere him, he's just one of them.
It seems to me that he has all the benefits and none of the downfalls.
I'm feeling a bit better about it today however, so I'm not gonig to get too bitchy about it.
On wider note, I don't beleive at all in this "everything balances out" kind of views people are putting forward in this thread. Some people have everything, some people have fuck all, and the rest of us are just trying to make do somewhere in the middle.
