Nursing home staff don't acknowledge my piano playing

As soon as you saw me, your question would be answered. Short answer is, the size of my head is way too big for size of my face. There's an usual amount of length between the side of my eyes and side of my head, and between top of my eyes and top of my head. If you've ever seen anyone who has that, you'll see how much that alone hurts appearance, and it's the one fu**ing thing that plastic surgery cannot do anything about. In the looks department, I'm fu**ed! Now you starting to get the drift on why people are reacting to me like this in spite of me playing great music for them?

It's not the residents at the home who are having negative reactions to me, it's the staff. I'm not sure what you mean by "limbic neural response of beautiful music gets shut down by unaesthetic stuff".

I don't mean to sound arrogant, I'm just freakin hurt by how people keep treating me over something I can't help.
I had thought what I play, they may be interested in, I don't know. Do you know many people between the ages 25 and 50 who like to listen to 1930s music or watch 30s films?

I agree. Only the oldest residents, like the 90 years old or above are going to personally remember the 1930s. Most of them, definitely the staff at the home, the 1930s were well before their time and will not have that kind of connection to it, with the exception of the occasional person who gets a particular liking or fascination to music from a particular era, like your occasional Mozart or Scott Joplin fanatic. How many of those that are younger are there really? The younger staff, like even 30 or 40 years old may even consider it ancient dinosaur music that they simply have no interest in. I know that they could still appreciate talent, but many people don't, unless there's really something amazing you can do that would totally surprise them such as playing a concerto with your eyes closed, you know something that will get their jaws dropping 3 feet. As for the music for the listeners, try playing something alot more modern such as Whitney Houston, Phil Collins, Billy Joel, even slow metal hits like Metallica's Nothing else matters or Guns and Roses November rain. Try some of that and I bet the reactions from the staff will be different than from the music from 75-85 years ago that they've been hearing.

I can try that. Hey, you think that maybe one of the reasons the elderly residents love the music I play and the nursing staff (ages like from 20s to 40s) are so unimpressed is because I keep playing like 1930s music? I thought before that they'd still be at least sorta impressed because of how good I am, but I wonder now, maybe it's like, well really how many 21st century women in their 20s and 30s are into 1930s music?
