    Shutup, being 'religious' doesn't mean you are in the Westboro Baptist Church. That's the exception rather than the norm and you know that. When I think of religious, I'm talking in the context of religion in Ireland, not some hypothetical situation you read in the God Delusion.

    Plenty of people have been deeply harmed by Catholicism in Ireland?

    Again that relates to the organisation and people who committed the acts, not the benefits that being religious/spiritual brings to people in their everyday life.

    Pity means feeling for others, particularly feelings of sadness or sorrow, and is used in a comparable sense to the more modern words "sympathy" and "empathy".

    Through insincere usage, it can also have a more unsympathetic connotation of feelings of superiority or condescension


    At a guess I feel the OP means the 2nd meaning....

    I would actually hate to be perceived as unattractive, or hideous by societies stupid expectations. Being serious I find it tough out there and at the least I'm an average looking guy with a tan, unreal clothes and good hair. I'm so self conscience, and I get compliments, I always think what it must be like for someone who would have same personality as me but not be lucky enough to even get any positive words said about them. Fact is image is important and to many how they look matters a lot. For young people it can have an impact on their whole outlook. I know as a teenager I avoided doing so many things because of how self conscious I was. Maybe I don't pity the people not born conventionally good looking, but pity the people who let it dominate them. I mean pity in an empathize with way.

    I pity the parents who feel their children slip away from the in their teenage years and they don't ever really get them back. I have never been in that situation, but friends of mine who have children, I feel pity and sorrow for them when they have gone through it.

    So you only pity ugly people who let it get to them? You remind me of Derek Zoolander.

    Ohh Eden, you were going so well and all earlier in the thread in an attempt to be taken seriously, and then you come out with the above.

    You still ARE a self-conscious teenager for Christ sake, and the fact that you're still so self conscious about your looks is indeed reflected in your vacuous outlook on life.

    I don't pity you though, in fact I'd love to be as naive as you are again, when things were so simple and all I had was my looks.

    Nowadays I have to get by on my brains, and it turns out I'm shìt out of luck on that score too... :pac:

    I wouldn't mind but I was just saying to myself tonight how it was so weird that Eden had matured so much during his short sabbatical from AH, but then, well, you have to admire his cohones for consistency at least! :D

    If you feel you are a good looking guy, then great. You think that that's a big important aspect of who a person is and if you think that way, then great.

    All that above sounds so bad and really contradicts how I think people should strive to see themselves and not be so shallow, but if you feel you are attractive then what's with the total lack of confidence then? If you think you are attractive, and that's paramount to you, then why aren't you happy and building your confidence off of that? If you're happy in yourself that's all that matters, whether you're good looking or not, it doesn't matter as long as you are. It's not all about outward appearance.

    The one thing I hope to god you're not doing is applying your thinking to other people and that they have to see themselves just as you see yourself, otherwise you only pity them. That will not end well for you in the long run if you are doing that. Shallow people are nothing but 2-dimensional and are the ones who lose out. I'd suggest you tackle your way of thinking before you become one of them, if it's not already happened.
