I sometimes wonder if I would feel the way I do about myself and the world if I was born into a different body. Would I be wrong in thinking that better looking people are favored more by society? Therefore, nurtured and more accepted by others which would then lead to higher self esteem and confidence...?
I know some good looking people can be incredibly shy which negates that theory, but I have also read scientific evidence to support it.
The argument I think comes down to nature vs nurture.... is social anxiety learned as we experience the world, or is it an innate personality trait.
I DO know though that many many people will take one look at you and assume they know everything there is to know about you in an instant, which I think is totally unfair.
Prejudice bites.
