I’m not sure this is the right community for this, so if there’s a better one please do let me know.
Maybe this is something only I experience, but why do I find conventionally or objectively attractive people strange and uncanny to look at? I find them somewhat off-putting, like there’s something about them that just doesn’t fit. This could very well be attributed to plastic surgery and whatnot, but aside from people who have had almost 90% of their bodies altered, I still find people who look good according to a certain standard very odd to look at.
As an example, I’ve never liked a celebrity (be it a musician or actor/actress) and generally have no desire to meet one in real life- I may still like how they portray characters or the music they make but I won’t want to look at them. On the other hand, I could very well spend hours people watching and find them wildly interesting and not odd to look at.
Maybe this is just a really weird thing, and maybe could be called discriminatory in its own right, but does anyone have an explanation for this (preferably with sources, but it isn’t required)?

Well you pretty much answered it, uh… you don’t like fakeness?
You were probably bullied by the popular crowd in school and now they activate your fight or flight response
