My name is Tim and I am a 20 year old college student. I've been battling acne now for about 5 years, but it's a bit strange how it has progressed. It all sort of just sprung up on me randomly one month in high school, and has been with me ever since.
I didn't really mind the acne at first (went well with my other bad hygeinic practices) but since getting into college and actually caring about my appearances (and smells...lol) it is something that continues to worry me.
Today I don't have very bad face acne (it used to be horribly noticeable on the sides of my face) but I do have horrible back and chest acne. Two weeks ago was the first time I took my shirt off in public, and that was only because my friend encouraged me that having back acne was something I would grow out of, and that we weren't going to stop being friends just because I had it.
The reason (I think) that I fear acne so much is because I feel like it puts me in a bad position for relationships. When you're 20 years old and still haven't had a real relationship you start to think that there is something wrong with you. Acne, obviously, was one of those things that I felt was wrong with me. Fortunately I've found out that since then the reason I am bad with relationships isn't because of my acne, it is because of my low confidence... which ironically is caused by the acne
So there you have it. If you can't tell I like to write and be discriptive. I also write a blog and am starting my own web development business. Which brings me to a funny point - I'm not actually a computer nerd... I love music and performing more than anything and am also working on a CD (and am the President of my colleges Choral Music Association).
OK... in all seriousness, I bet you've read enough about my life. Hope to talk to you soon!
