Haha!  None taken.  I was called ugly so much in elementary school through junior high that by HS I just excepted that I was, like it was nothing.  But that is when people started getting mature and all the grades interact more and it really was just this thing were my class has built up a stigma around me.  I wasn’t entirely friendless or anything, but it seemed the majority would never except me and always put me down.  So I developed some bad social skills and anxieties because of this.  It took quite a while to get over and in a lot of ways I don’t think I’ll ever be over all of them.  I do really well now, but all it takes is to run into someone I barely even knew from my hometown/grade and they all come rushing back.

I’m not in denial about my “good looks”, I realized before the end of HS that girls started finding me attractive, but dating and being comfortable took a bit longer too because of my lacking skills and confidence.  I actually dated a few girls just cause they asked me out.  To bad it’s so rare that happens…
