There is umberto eco's book on ugliness, though it's not necessarily about "coping", the best example for that I can think of is in Thus Spoke Zarathustra, whereby inborn ugliness acts as an alienation mechanism through which you are blessed in the sense that you have no choice but transcend the usual pitfalls of materialism and sensual pleasures, if you catch my meaning.

There were probably lots of Chads in history, but none of them made it to the history books.

Have you ever read a history book?
i'm ugly. it's like knowing that everything you do is going to fail before you even start
also people project shit on you for no reason 'you never smile' 'you look angry all the time' even if it isn't true.
i know a whole website about it

Skylark is more about having an ugly kid that you are also disappointed in.
There's no reason to be ugly if you were born in a first world nation after 1975
