Why would a conventionally unattractive girl repeatedly tell a more attractive girl that she is ugly and undesirable?

Do people use ugly as the go to insult when they are arguing?

Whoa, that's pretty messed up. Sometimes when people are insecure about themselves, they try to bring others down to feel better. This girl clearly has issues if she's calling someone else ugly just to be mean. Yeah I've heard ugly used as an insult before when people fight, but it's a low blow.

My guess is she's jealous of the other girl for being more attractive. It probably makes her feel like crap about herself in comparison. So putting the other girl down about her looks is a way to try and seem better by knocking her down a peg. Super lame move though. No one should have to deal with that kind of toxic behavior.

I'd say just feel bad for her - must suck to be so insecure you feel the need to insult people over their looks. And the other girl should know not to let it get to her - easier said than done I'm sure! But some people will always try and tear you down to lift themselves up. Don't give haters that power.

nah we had an argument and she started getting personal and throwing these insults at me

Damn, that's harsh. I mean, sure, if you're mad at someone arguments can get heated. But going straight for the low blows about looks seems uncalled for. Like, what does that even have to do with whatever you were arguing about? Seems like she was just trying to be as hurtful as possible.

My guess is she's probably real insecure deep down if she feels the need to bring others down like that to feel better. Like, why else go after something as random as looks during a fight? It'd be different if you were talking about fashion or something, but ugly? That's just cold, yo.

I wouldn't let it get to you though. Her words say more about her than they do about you. You know you're fire, so who cares what some hater thinks. Just feel sorry for chicks like that who gotta tear others apart to lift themselves up. Keep shining, girl! One person's bitter words ain't enough to dull that glow.

It's a coping mechanism, projecting

Attractiveness is subjective

Not in this case
