Have you ever been in a great mood for no good reason and looked at yourself in the mirror, the same face that you usually are very critical of, and you just seem too look good? I don't know if it's my silly grin, or I'm seeing something else reflecting from within, but I look better. Even if there are some zits, they just sorta blend-in in their own natural way and don't really detract.

It's like when there is this song that you can't stand and everytime you hear it come on, you immediately change the station. But, one day, you are in such a fine mood, that when it comes on, it actually sounds good and you kinda dig it.

How can that be????

It must be because something inside is so strong that it just can't be influenced by external things. I notice that people pick-up on that vibe as well.

When I say "blended in", it's just because I don't pay much attention to them. I see them, but I'm not focused on them to the point of exaggerating their impact... I guess.

But, this still doesn't explain the overall improvement of perception.

I'm not sure what it is. Some days I look in the mirror and think "I'm not that bad looking." These feelings go with me for a very long time throughout the day, but after a day's worth of from girls it wears off. Then the next day I'll feel on top of the world again.

I know where your comming from.

Sometimes i look at the mirror in the morning and feel confident and cant really see any marks and think "hey Im actually looking pretty good' lol. but other times I seem to see more red marks and focus on the zits.

Im hoping I can improve my mood without use of AD's......

You think it is psychological over physical?  That's curious.

Possibly, not of the metaphysical type, just psychosomatic. But, mostly, I'm thinking that I'm just seeing my positive spirit, just as anyone else would if they met you while in that mood, and just like I've seen in other people before. And, if someone is so superficial that they don't even see that, then they are truely lost. They can't see it because they really aren't in tune with something on a higher plane... so to speak It's another way of saying the old saying of "if they can't see the beauty inside of you, then you don't want them to be your friends anyway." But, I was sorta seeing it or feeling it's truth... it was no longer just a concept to make you feel better.

i woke up this mornin and the left side of my face that was healing from a breakout a couple of months ago with a ton of red scars has 2-3 new nodules or cysts coming up and with the acne scars around it makes it look like my whole cheek broke out.

i know what your getting at
i think its the eyes, the eyes don't lie....

[adultAcne]

Sometimes, I think the reason I'm in a good mood for no reason at all is because I'm just tired of thinking about my acne and being down and so I just let it all go and feeling good is the natural result.

When I wear make-up, I feel your mood. When I don't, I feel like I wanna kill myself.

I'll probably wear makeup for a loong time, maybe forever. I like it actually. I'm a guy, and I recently developed a taste for make-ups.
