But one day, my friend convinced me to join him at the gym. So I did, and eventually I got into working out and getting into shape. When I saw my results, I gained a bit of confidence in myself and had hope that changes would come soon.
So from that point forward, I completely ignored my acne. I stopped looking in the mirror unless I absolutely had to, and I pretended my face was all clear. This was a great help to me because it took some of the stress out of my mind and made my day easier. Through my positive outlook, people noticed me more and were a lot more social with me. I achieved bonds with people like never before.
Now, my acne is gone. I have gone through extensive treatment from my dermatologist, but I am almost positive that my new outlook on life contributed to its demise. I realized that people weren't ignoring me because of my acne; they were ignoring me because I was too ashamed to talk to them. If you try to put your imperfections behind you, you can improve your outlook on life drastically, and this is reflected in your daily appearance and behavior, thus solidifying your social situations.
Basically, this is what I am trying to say: Be yourself and focus your attention on things other than your acne. People of today's society see acne everywhere, and if you maintain a positive attitude about yourself, you can overcome the anxieties that have tormented you for all this time. Trust me, I was scared to even talk to my friends because I was afraid of how I looked. Now I can approach anyone with ease. Just take life one step at a time, tell yourself that things can and will get better, have faith that you can overcome your anxieties, and maintain a positive outlook. This got me through the worst year of my life, and now I'm at the top of my game. I hope this was helpful to you.
