Not everyone invests a lot of money and time into taking care of their appearance.
And thats completely OK everyone should do what they think is best for them.
It becomes a problem when they make that someone elses problem instead of theirs.
Like this woman, who always bugged her sister because she looked good.
And when one day she lost it and told her off, family drama ensued.
And it would happen any time the sisters would see each other.
So, the sister, the OP, just assumed that she was jealous.
And Tessa interrupted her by implying that she passed due to pretty privilege.
This made the OP lose it.
This event caused drama in their family because apparently everyone was split on who to support.
What if the OP did get some chances in life just because she is beautiful?
After all, pretty privilege is a real thing.
Experts saythat people think that way due to our biology and psychology.
For example, a symmetrical face, which is considered conventionally attractive, can be associated with strong genes.
And evolutionarily, people tend to sway towards attributes that suggest strong genes for the survival of the species.
And usually, its related to physical beauty.
This phenomenon is something psychologists call the Halo Effect.
And they were divided.
Some certainly said that Tessa seemed like an insufferable person and so the OP was not the jerk.
Others were of a slightly different opinion they stated that both sisters were wrong here.
There were some who even added that both of them sound like middle-schoolers.
