Unpopular opinion: If you are unattractive, being nice is not enough

I know people aren't going to like this post and I'm not saying that everyone here should have terrible personalities. I do believe being nice works and makes you friends and acquaintances. However, what if that is not enough for people to respect you?

I posted this a thousand times before. People are treating me badly. In the sixth grade I started getting bullied. This is when I started to pluck my eyebrows and eyelashes because of stress. And then I started getting bullied at home. I was depressed, yet I wasn't allowed to be depressed because I had a roof over my head and I was a kid. Everyone caused me stress and nobody cared. Yet, this is when I was considered a peacemaker of my family while my older brother caused trouble. I was still punching a bag within my own family. This is when I went to school with a big sweatshirt on and my head hung down, not bothering or talking to no one. I did all this but I couldn't escape being treated badly.

Nobody cared that I was an introvert that didn't bother anyone. I feel like being nice is something everybody should be. There are times where people just don't care and instead of taking your niceness as a sign of a good character, people would rather take advantage of you instead and use you as a punching bag. Continue to be nice, but learn how to defend yourself. Because if people are always going to treat you badly even when you are nice or introverted, these people do not care about your feelings. Don't do what I did or you're going to wonder why you have to pay for therapy bill because people caused you stress and never apologize for it.
