I blame my acne, sometimes girls will find me attractive and tell me, but I always get embarrased because of my acne, I know I would be so much better without pimples on my face.

Like today in my 1st period, some girl was talkin to me, and then she made a quick comment about me being hot, and I just kinda laughed, but in the inside i felt kinda embarrased...

dunno why tho

acne can really make people feel bad. it can ruin the whole landscape and create a bad self esteem. probably you are handsome, but its hard for you to see because you are focusing so much on your acne. there is more to a guy than his spots. women can forgive a few spots a lot more than you think. they are more peripheral and look for things like strength, health, humor, intelligence, and kindness.

I can understand how you feel, it’s a hard thing when you’re self conscious.

Have you every tried saying back You’re pretty hot yourself.

I totally agree

I've never been called handsome by a girl.

[the.ronin]

I used to, but It doesn't bother me anymore. I try to tell myself the same thing back too, not to be arrogant, but to gain confidence when its hard put for me to find.

Lol, Lydia

I know how you feel...Most of time when someone gives me a compliment...I think they are joking or their pittying me and trying to make me feel better because my face is so messed up.But dont allow yourself to get to that point...if a girl gives you a compliment like that dont feel embarrassed...feel good.. I think those girls are seeing something that you can't see because your blinded by the point that you have acne.

[Loro]

try being called that by all of your relatives in front of your family who are the only ones who understand your problem. wanted to grip myself and scream.

[ThatGuy16]

thanks for the feedback guys

Dude, I dont know how u feel, because if girls were saying i was hot all the time i wouldn't give a fuck about my acne

[Darth Hideous]

When I read your post, the only thing that I think about is that you're complaining about how your shoes are dirty to someone who's had both legs amputated. You have no idea how fortunate you are in this aspect.

I used to think chicks were joking too... Until one of them told me that she wasn't joking when we were in my car. Then we made out. Lesson is: they ain't joking. Girls usually mean what they say in compliments as long as they're not total asshats or friends... Don't demean them by not thanking them.

[Melchior]

LOL. What's strange is that whenever that happens to me, I suddenly, out of nowhere, become incredible Hulk, and just become aggressive, and involuntary grasp their hands just as they are about to touch my face. Also, I seem to make a strong grunting sound as I do that. LOL. Talk about obsession.

Also, one time, one of my friends tried to pinch my cheek, those "aw, you're cute" and, they successfully did, and instantly, I started cussing and screamed, "WTF", and etc. And all that was my involuntary reaction.

Maaan, I really have been obsessed with my skin. But, what can I do? Touching my face makes me breakout.

Heh I know what you mean man, although it is hard thinking of you yelling "Double you - tee - eff, double you - tee - eff!!" Or maybe not... at least... I hope you don't yell the acronym.

I don't like it when guys come near my face like that, but hey if a girl did I'd probably let her, but feel bad on he inside and wonder what shes thinking.

Dude don't laugh. Thank her for complemnting (spelling I know, smoked too much) you and make her feel good for making you feel good. Their are people that are insecure and don't have acne, like fat people, ugly people, dorky people.

I think this basically sums up how i feel when ppl compliment me.

[ben100604]

I got two compliments off this girl at work this week, but both times I just got a bit embarrased and wanted to say "no no no dont say stuff like that about me". I did feel a bit better about myself aterwards until I looked in the mirror later on and saw that my forehead had started breaking out!

[arrshixerrr]

Noooo, dont take comments like that in a bad way. They brighten up my day, even if they dont mean it, which I dont think is the case. Also, you can usually tell if someone is being sincere and if they are messing with you just brush it off, they suck anyway...

[hikari128]

when a guy calls me hot or pretty, i think usually blurt out with, WHAT?

iono... compliments are supposed to be good.. but with this much acne, its all lies.

[stantheman9]

good stuff,
same here... all of you insecure pplz arent alone. No g/f in a long time, is it because of acne? Hell yeah. Even the mildest form of acne, i dont know why, shys me away from girls. Before i used to wake up in the morning, go out of the house without fixing my hair or anything, and just talk to anyone without thinking twice. Now i remember everything i say, and don't accept peoples compliments/ask-out attempts. I am too insecure to do any of that right now. Congrats for passing the barrier of self-confidence to you peeps with acne, becuase it is a hell of a climb.

"Their are people that are insecure and don't have acne, like fat people, ugly people, dorky people."

People who are great looking are also insecure. This is one of the ironys of life. All people with something wrong with them think that they lack confidence and theat "normal (which is a high standard,especially in high school) people" are confident. Not true. Many beautiful girls are insecure about other parts of themselves. They spend their entire lives with people reacting to them totally based on their appearence. Many are worried that boys only like them for their bodies and not their minds. Often, a pretty girl knows she's hot, knows that you like her and would much rather hear a compliment about her personnality than her physical attributes. Its corny, I know, but very effective in getting girls.

I'm sorry that your face makes you insecure, but look at it this way. Everyone is insecure (with a few exceptions) and thats why confidence is so prized. If you present a confident attitute, you seem taller, smarter and more attractive. Let go of the insecurity and pretend you don't have acne. When your pimples go away, you will be just that much more good looking.

PS: When you're shy around girls, some of them thing it's cute. Just make sure you get a grip before they think your just inexperienced.
