personality is based on what you look like; prove me wrong. Reasoning: our personality develops in early childhood not based upon how we think we are but by how others perceive us and in general people perceive who you are based upon your appearance. This begins with your friends, strangers, and childhood peers.

and the majority of us are average, in accordance with a normal bell-curve distribution. ( on a 1-10 scale, most people would be a 5, and there would be more 5's than 4's and 6's, and more 4's and 6's than 3's and 7's etc.)
This would imply that most of us would have nearly identical personalities, because we are mostly average.
There is extreme diversity in personality, therefore one of the assumptions is wrong.

***** oh wow you are right its no wonder why you dont have a profile picture; people would judge you by your looks and believe you are nothing more than a religious troll.
I don’t have one yet you label me despite saying ...... personality is based on what you look like; prove me wrong......
You’ve just defeated yet another of your own ludicrous topics
Right so a vicious murderer does not have a personality? You said ........it’s not based upon how we think we are but by how others perceive us and in general people perceive who you are based upon your appearance.
so a vicious murderer does not feel that way but is reliant on complete strangers making him feel that way?

What I mean is this: If you took a bunch of pictures of a bunch of people, and then to that same group of people asked everyone to rate everyone else on a 1-10 scale, 1 low, 10 high, The numbers would be expected to follow a bell curve distribution rather than a linear distribution, meaning most people got rated 5 and the least people got rated 1 or 10.
The same as if you made a compilation of all houses, the majority would be town houses and apartments, and the number of them would far outweigh the number of mansions and 1-room log cabins.
Not to mention there are other factors that have nothing to do with what you look like that can effect the way people treat you, like intelligence for example. Smart people and dumb people don't get the same treatment, especially from youngsters. If someone is good looking, but they are dumb they might get treated poorly and this interference would skew the results heavily.
Also, can you prove that you don't have it backwards? Maybe your personality defines what you look like. Wouldn't it make more sense this way, since a person of a certain persuasion should be more likely to take a certain path in life, and in taking that path ends up looking a certain way to match?

Also, if you look at people from past generations, they all have different looks, styles, and personalities.
Isn't this strong evidence that it is the other way around?
Or does it mean the two things are mutually exclusive?

The belief that your outward appearance is liked to their personality is a pseudoscience called Physiognomy. We know it isn't accurate because there is no scientific evidence to suggest it is, and the scientific articles that say there is some substance to it have all been criticized to the point of outright rejection by the scientific community.
The few papers that do say anything about it are typically focused on humans ability to recognize emotions from facial features, and hypothesizes that people recognize emotions in others, such as deep seated childhood trauma, and extrapolate this to make the assumption that facial features indicate personality, when the two are in fact, not linked.

If you look at the studies they site, you will notice that they all have to do with underlying factors, for example higher levels of testosterone shape the face and also personality.
They also reference the same studies I mentioned, which demonstrate that the way we judge faces has more to do with perceiving underlying emotions, rather than there being a direct link between what you look like and personality.
If someone is untrustworthy or is hiding something, we can recognize that subconsciously. In this sense, our face does reveal information about our intentions but it does not mean that what we look like determines our personality. From the pop-science site you linked:
"While these experiments suggest that our snap judgements of faces really do contain a kernel of truth about the personality of their owner, Little stresses that the link is far from clear-cut. He and Perrett only found a correlation at the extremes of personality, and other studies looking for links with different aspects of personality have failed to find any association at all. The owner of an “honest” face, for example, is no more likely to be trustworthy than anyone else."
I think we can say conclusively that while there is a little bit of truth, it doesn't work quite in the way you think it does, and other factors are much more prevalent a cause for personality than what you look like.

I have a friend who as a child was also small, weak, and rather insecure. As an adult he is fit and rather confident, because he worked hard and put in the effort to become that person which he desired to be. The only difference between my friend and your friend is learned helplessness, perhaps the saddest of all psychological conditioning. The critical reality is that all the tools necessary to change where always present, and one reaps what they sow.

Posting links to opinion pieces is when it is a fallacy to do so, because it is an appeal to authority.
As far as children getting treated different based on looks, I say mostly no. It's only in extreme cases where someone will be treated differently, but because the overwhelming majority of us have perfectly average looks, it doesn't make a noticeable statistically relevant effect.

I think I found the page you were trying to link to, which is titled:
"Can you change your personality?"
assuming this is correct, then the third paragraph reads:
"personality changes can still occur depending on new life experiences. People who have experienced severe emotional trauma or life-changing events can experience significant personality changes as well. Even the kind of social roles we take on can change personality. First-time parents or people heavily invested in new jobs can find themselves becoming more conscientious as their new responsibilities force them to change how they think, feel, and behave in general. People in new romantic relationships can find themselves becoming more conscientious about their partners' well-being as their perspective on the world changes. As our lives change, so do our personalities. "
Indicating yet again, that personality changes and therefore can not be linked to what you look like as a child.

Just to recap:
- Most people have average looks, but there is a wide range of personalities, indicating a low likelihood of any connection.
- we have not ruled out the possibilities that personalities cause looks, or that the two are mutually exclusive.
- Humans have an innate and advanced ability to detect emotions in others through facial expressions, this suggests that the observation of a link between personality and looks is extrapolation of emotional observation.
- Personality changes over time as people mature. This disproves any link to personality from birth.
- While it is true that some people will get different unfair treatment due to their outward appearance, this is only true for the fringe minority who are exceptionally ugly or attractive.
- other factors such as temperament, social status, intelligence, and culture probably play a much bigger role in development of personality.
That's all I've got. If this hasn't changed your mind, nothing will.Stars formed, planets coalesced, and on at least one of them life took root.

The impression of appearance can also be negated with general behavior. There have been experiments clearly showing that extremely confident, but conventionally ugly people can be seen as very attractive by many. I knew an armless guy with dirty hair and long messy beard with a large belly, which is about the worst combination possible in terms of conventional attractiveness - and the guy has been married 4 times to very beautiful women.
I personally look a bit like a brute, not due to my facial expression (which is pretty soft), but due to my general muscular complexion and somewhat wide face - however, nobody gets the impression of a brute from me, because the way I move and speak is very different from what you would expect from a typical person looking like this.
Still, the effect you are talking about certainly is real. And there is a converse effect as well: your appearance changes based on the feedback you are receiving. People who have been severely bullied at school, and as a result end up having severe confidence issues for the rest of their lives, will often have a very alert look, with more widely open eyes than usual, tense facial muscles and limbs, and as a result, a lot of small deformities that make them look older than they are (most of the time; sometimes it can actually have the opposite effect). People who have been treated by others well, on the other hand, tend to live much more relaxed lives, and they look younger than their age would suggest, often more childlike and innocent, with very few wrinkles.
