Does being attractive contribute to popularity?

No - fan of their music lol

I've known popular people that are absolute dogs.

Popularity doesn't always correlate to attractiveness. Personality is one. You can either be a really cool person and everyone likes you because your easy going and a good person to have a conversation with or someone who's always in drama. The latter attracts like minded people. Another thing about these types of people is that they know everyone and their uncle.

Where are you moving to? It may be best to throw yourself into meeting new people, do some sport to better your wellbeing and health. It's good to love yourself as that inner love radiates outwards - people can tell. Maybe you know them two friends from school and that connection because you spent so much time together doesn't translate outside of it.

I'm asking this question because I feel like I only have one true friend.

With my other friends, they never seem to invite me out anywhere (they're all really attractive.) Like they'll act all nice when we're out together, but then they say we'll do things, which don't pan out unless I ask them. For instance, me and these three other girls used to go out together. One of them said she was going to arrange a reunion with us (I knew in the back of my head that I wouldn't be invited, I haven't been invited to several things,) but it still hurt when I saw pictures of them last night, without me. I never got an invite, not like I'm surprised.

I think this is because I'm very ugly compared to them, and I'm not confident, like them, even though I was a part of the 'original group.' I feel like they don't see me as an equal because of my ugliness.

I'm moving away soon, but my nightmare is just going to continue because it's not like I can stop being ugly.

Anyone have any thoughts?

Of course, the popular people in school are always the good looking ones, and the ones who get bullied are mostly average looking or ugly, which is why it's always such ******** when you have films like the Carrie remake where the main character gets bullied a ton yet they look like a model.

Although it does seem a bit different with girls, it seems like sometimes girls who're attractive are bullied by other girls because of jealousy or whatever, but guys would generally not bully attractive girls (because they're attracted to them), whereas guys are bullied based on how masculine they appear or whatever (which generally correlates to attractiveness).

Edit: actually yeah, what @Novascope said is also sometimes true, occasionally average looking people are popular because they have great personalities, but imo most of the time the popular people are the attractive + confident ones.

Honestly OP: Don't devote yourself to trying to make friends with the 'popular people'. Nobody cares about popularity once you leave school. Plenty of people don't care about popularity when you're in school. People who are popular are some combination of attractive, confident, funny, and nice. But the people who aren't 'popular' often have those traits as well, sometimes even more so than the popular people, it's just they don't want to be involved with the ********ty popularity contest that is school.

It's as @Moonbrains said: the popular people are boring (generally). They all like the same stuff, they all like what is currently 'in', what everyone else likes. There's nothing wrong with that, but if you don't also like those things then there's no reason to try and 'become' popular by feigning interest in this sorta stuff.

Make friends with nice people, who you like to talk to and who're nice in return to you. Ignore whether or not they're popular. As soon as you have friends who you like, and who treat you decently (these guys not inviting you to anything sound like dicks), you're not gonna care about popularity, it's just right now if you feel alone then it seems like it would just be so perfect to be one of 'the popular people', but in reality they probably wish they had a few close friends rather than a ton of people who they're 'friends' with but don't know that well.
