What is your biggest complaint in life in terms of just how awful it is, as well as how no one talks about it, faces up to or deals with it?

Really looking for honest answers, the kind that just comes from the heart. I'll start. My biggest complaint is that most men (and women) seem to lack self-awareness of what it's like to live in a society that places so much importance on beauty and good looks. That when you're ugly, it is far more difficult to get through life. That attractive people have it so much easier than us. I'd like to think I'm as smart as your average attractive person, but I'm actually more intelligent than most of them, and I put a lot of stock into my achievements and accomplishments in life. I also work out, try to eat good, and try everything to change my appearance for the better, but it's just not in the cards for everyone. Life isn't fair, and when you're ugly it just hits you in the face extra hard, and no one likes to think about it. It's like one of society's Taboos that no one wants to bring up. If it gets mentioned, people say, "well just shoot for self improvement," but for some people it's just not in the cards. Not everyone gets the long straw, and that thought really hits hard for me.
