Re: Ugly. Or something.

OP here.

We were in organic chem and they sit a little ways across from me. I didn't overhear the entire conversation, but I honed in on them when I heard my name being mentioned. What I did hear was:

Guy: *whispers something I couldn't hear*
Girl: Oh, Areilla (not a common name, either)? Not at all. I think she's really ugly, actually.


When I turned around she was looking right at me-- until the guy nudged her and she started whispering to him again.


I'm all for acknowledging that people have different tastes in what they consider nice looking, but I think it's terrible that she said such a thing when I was within hearing distance. Frankly, they shouldn't have been talking about me at all.

I personally would never call someone ugly like that. I'd say I didn't find someone attractive, sure, but I'd never say anyone was "ugly". Especially someone I knew IRL. ESPECIALLY if they were anywhere nearby.

It's just a horrible thing to do.

The "Not at all" part makes me think he said something about thinking you were cute, or something to that effect. She tore you down because she felt threatened. I would ignore her, that's the go-to defense for shallow girls.

This. Either way, I'm sorry you heard that, OP. *hugs*

da

My thoughts exactly.

OP, looks like you have a date if you want it! :V

That was really awful of that girl. I agree -- it's one thing to say that you, subjectively, are not into a person's appearance; that's completely valid and nobody owes anybody else physical attraction. But to act like your tastes and preferences are universal and no one could ever find a person attractive just because you don't, is assholish. And "ugly" is a really loaded and powerful term that carries that objective judgment even when qualified with an "I think." She was being an asshole to you, and I'm sorry it happened.

I'm sorry it happened to you, OP :/

But different strokes, I guess. (when it comes to opinions on what is acceptable and what is not)

:( The blame is on them for being so rude. It's human to talk about someone, but it is not proper* to talk about people within hearing distance/the same room for this exact reason.

Sounds like the girl is just thoughtless. She might be a real bitch, or shallow or just socially dumb when it comes to gossiping about classmates. It's really hard to know, but what she's like doesn't really matter. What she said and where she said was stupid and rude.

can you perhaps not sit near them anymore or are their assigned seats? Eitherway, she doesn't deserve to weigh on your mind so much OP. What she said was thoughtless and really not true.



*woah that sounds oldfashioned, but you get me?
