Everyone is beautiful in their own way.

Something all too easily forgotten in this world of unrealistic, not to mention unhealthy, standards regarding beauty and physical appearance.

Making it all the more upsetting that there are still people in this world who actually feel the need to call people "ugly" right to their faces.

Luckily, those on the receiving end of that unnecessary bullying often have enough self-worth that they have just the right response should such an unfortunate situation arise.


Redditor Distorded_Girl was curious to hear the best responses to tasteless attacks on people's looks, leading them to ask:
"What's the best answer to being called ugly ?"
