I've thought that myself, sometimes... in another community I was part of, you'd always see lots of people whining about people downrating their uploads or stories and other people rushing to reassure them that the only people who'd do that are trolls or "just jealous." It was a nice sentiment, but it was annoying that no one seemed willing to entertain the idea that not everything ever is absolutely perfect.

On the other hand, when you share a picture of yourself and people's reactions are to accuse you of being a liar, essentially, because they just can't believe you'd actually look so pretty... what alternate motivations are there to that attitude? I suppose OP could have a reputation for lying or attention whoring, I guess.

Also, OP's friends don't have to ugly. They could be merely unhappy with their personal appearances or insecure. Though given the proportion of fandom with anecdotes about being bullied or having body image issues, (and the probably well-meaning portion that happily go batshit over advocating their pet issues) I don't see why it's so unbelievable that maybe the OP has friends who associated "pretty people" with "not one of us" or bullies.
