My studies have recently taken me abroad and I am now in Australia. I prefer to travel alone but the other students who have come abroad wanted to travel together. I don't mind gritting my teeth so I agreed.
However I find myself hating these travels. Every guy that we meet has absolutely zero interest in me. I have no interest in flirting or anything. I really just enjoy talking and having discussions with people I meet. But these girls I am travelling with are beautiful and blonde and pale. I have brown skin and black hair. And for some reason people genuinely do not want to speak to me. Guys ignore me when I speak, ignore me when my companions introduce me and will walk away if one of my walk away.
This has happened around 15 times so far. Most recently, I was in a room with the girls and some Swedish guys. I was the only non blonde person there and I was ignored completely.
We had someone take photos of us and each girl had about 8 photos each, while I had 2. I was also cut out of a photo of a large group so that everyone in the photo was the same ethnicity.
It's a bit depressing and I'm finding myself getting self conscious about my looks, regardless of what I tell myself. I don't know if this is normal or not. Anyone else experienced this? How do you deal with it?
