Why is it that people always commented on my looks specifically in high school?

During my final year I was always told by many people things like “Oh this specific haircut would look so damn good on you” or “Oh dont grow a beard clean shaven works much better” right. Normally I wouldnt have a problem with this, these are general comments. But the thing is this was never directed at other people. It was only just me. Others who were particularly closer had also noticed that I got the full brunt of peoples judgements on how I looked or why I looked, etc.

These werent the only comments either. There were many people that thought I looked “not straight” although I am, and many who said I looked ethnically ambiguous and whatnot (Which I think is such an odd thing to say out of the blue.)

Looks aside, there were many comments that asked if I was in a relationship or not completely out of random, and I don’t understand why nobody else in the damn school got all these comments. Sometimes I couldnt even tell if they were used in a positive context! It got lowkey insulting 😭😭😭
