It's okay -- I'm not one of those women who looked at your photos and said, "Oh, get over yourself!" The pictures are fine, but I'm willing to assume from experience that they're not doing your looks full justice. I know a lot of models, and I know a lot of beautiful women. They're usually not the same people. Because plenty of models aren't that pretty in real life -- they're just very tall women with a bone structure the camera adores. And beautiful people often don't photograph well. I know exactly one woman who's gorgeous and photographs like a dream. She's a supermodel. There's a reason they're called that.
So, no, I'm not going to say you're conceited or delusional when you talk about the unexpected difficulties being too pretty can bring with it. I'm not going to argue that your problems aren't real, either. I'm in no position to judge.
Instead, I'm going to give you a workable, non-snarky piece of advice that will solve your dilemma. You'll stop losing friends -- in fact, you'll make new ones. You won't be sneered at or resented by bosses or acquaintances because you're too pretty. Best of all, you won't have to wait for old age to attack in order to fade into the background.
