🗒️ Five probable reasons why some individuals would disrespect you for your looks or describe you as "ugly":
1] They were described as "ugly" by some people in the past, whether directly or indirectly, and offline or online in the form of rude comments (Note: it is advisable to avoid taking and uploading selfies in Islam). Their emotional wounds or insecurities compel them to make you feel bad by criticizing your appearance so they're not the only one who's emotionally suffering.
2] Some of their relatives and/or friends, particularly if they display awful narcissistic traits, provoke them to feel unconfident or unsatisfied about the way Allah the Almighty designed them. Being expected to always appear "flawless" to fit in with the popular crowd and assuming that not putting sufficient effort to maintain a "perfect" figure with a "perfectly" gorgeous face shows lack of self-respect could explain why they believe it's acceptable to mistreat you for not looking as physically "impressive" as they are.
3] They're actually so jealous of you for being able to do numerous remarkable things which they can't do or for accomplishing something, with Allah's Will, which they failed to achieve. The easiest way for them to drag you down to their level, as they feel "inferior" in your presence, is to spoil your self-esteem by making fun of your looks or treat you as though they have more dominance than you by resorting to bullying.
4] They have a negative habit of being too vocal and tactless that it's challenging for them to keep all thoughts, opinions and feelings to themselves. They're the kind of individuals who rarely think twice about the impact of their outspokenness on others because they weren't educated previously about empathy, basic etiquettes and the virtues of remaining silent when necessary.
5] They don't know yet about how Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala expects us, as Muslims, to behave towards His other servants and how one's actions with their actual intentions are a lot more important than pampering one's appearance 24/7.
The more we strive to learn and apply authentic Islamic knowledge for Allah's sake, the less likely we'd arrogantly mock others for how Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala created them.

📖 Abdullah Ibn Mas'ud RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "No one who has the weight of a seed of arrogance (kibr) in his heart will enter Paradise." A man said, “But a man likes to have nice clothes and nice shoes.” The Prophet Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Verily, Allah is Beautiful and He loves beauty. Arrogance (kibr) is to disregard (or to pridefully reject) the truth and to look down on the people."
