I cannot think of anything dumber than "just stop caring what people think about you. What you think is all that matters."
This is advice given by someone who's obviously privileged in life and ignorant to what it's like to have almost the entire population discriminate against you.
Ofc, these same people wouldn't tell someone "oh, people are racist but it doesn't matter. All that matters is what you think!"
And they're too ignorant to understand that lookism is far worse and common than racism.
People have evolved to see ugly people as a threat
Little is known about the psychology of ugliness. We propose that ugliness judgments are linked to the behavioral immune system, alerting us to objects that may contain potentially harmful diseases. Exploring this possibility, in five studies (N = 1,552), we found that ugly human faces (Studies 1a and 1b), ugly animals (Study 2), and—to a lesser degree—ugly buildings (Study 2) elicit disgust controlling for other avoidance-motivated emotional responses. Furthermore, the presence (vs. absence) of disease cues were found to elicit ugliness judgments (Studies 3 and 4) suggesting that ugliness judgments respond to cues of pathogen presence. As such, ugliness may activate the behavioral immune system, alerting us to stimuli that pose pathogen risk.

Physical attractiveness and the accumulation of social and human capital in adolescence and young adulthood: assets and distractions - PubMed
Beauty has a well-documented impact on labor market outcomes with both legal and policy implications. This monograph investigated whether this stratification is rooted in earlier developmental experiences. Specifically, we explored how high schools’ dual roles as contexts of social relations and...
Students who perceived themselves to be more physically attractive than their peers reported sexually bullying others more, being sexually bullied by others more, observing more sexual bullying, and having more friends who sexually bully others than did students who perceived themselves as average looking. In addition, males who perceived themselves to be less physically attractive than their peers reported being victimized more and reported observing more sexual bullying in the school environment. These findings highlight the importance of physical attractiveness in the early initiation of sexual harassment. Implications for future research and interventions with early adolescents are discussed.
The relationship between self-perception of physical attractiveness and sexual bullying in early adolescence - PubMed
The relationship between self-perception of physical attractiveness and four measures of sexual bullying behavior (victimization, perpetration, having friends who sexually bully, and observation of sexual bullying among peers at school) was examined in a sample of 396 middle school age students...

Looks based discrimination is more prominent than discrimination based on ethnicity when it comes to hiring.
Remarkably, in second place was not ethnicity — the most studied discrimination ground worldwide — but low physical attractiveness, which led to 37% fewer positive responses. Age as a ground for discrimination ranked in third place at 34%. This phenomenon is more widespread in the European Union than in the United States.
Ethnicity was in fourth place with 29% of people receiving fewer positive responses for this reason. The study found there is hardly any recruitment discrimination against applicants from Northern or Western European minority groups.
Physical attractiveness pays off in the labour market, research finds
Low physical attractiveness was the second most common discrimination ground, leading to 37% fewer positive responses to job applications globally.

Unattractiveness effects men's ability to make social connections more than women's“male attractiveness had a massive effect on a man's ability to find a partner… in all areas of study, no major effects were seen for women based on their attractiveness
For males, physical attractiveness related positively to the quantity of social interaction with females and negatively to that with males; for females, attractiveness did not relate to the quantity of socializing. Attractiveness related positively to the
