Tired of being lonely and feeling like a loser and seeing my bumpy scars in the mirror. Tired of spending Friday nights alone. I have very few friends now because I stopped hanging out with old ones awhile ago due to being ashamed of my skin. Also I've been single for awhile and I just wish something would work out with a girl so I can at least feel attractive and be alittle happy....last night my sister and her boyfriend and my cousin and her boyfriend went to my other cousins house, who is married. They wanted me to go, but of course I did not because I don't have a girl to bring. It makes me even more depressed and critical of myself knowing that and makes me feel more ugly. I was actually supposed to hangouts with a girl that I met at a new years eve party bland she was supposed to text me but she never did and I know it was a bad idea but I texted her to see watsup, and she still dent answer. I know you have to fix yourself first and I have been trying to work on myself by working out and I write but I have a really low self esteem and not much confidence at all....I just feel like nothing ever goes my way and next thing I know I am in my room crying feeling ugly and wondering why not one girl I ever talk to can like me. Out of the few friends I have now, I have only hungout with one recently, I just don't feel as comfortable with the others. Its like everyone around me has someone and then there I am still alone and of course I am the only one with acne....just had to put this out there thanks.

I know how u feel well half of it! I don't socialise aswell because my acne is so bad! it only started 3 months ago but its disgusting I wake up every morning look at the mirror and ERGH! its still there! sometimes I just feel like slicing my skin off!! LOL although i do have a boyfriend and I am happy with him i feel bad that hes got spotty girlfriend.. when he kisses me sometimes i feel like ewww how can u kiss me!! but i never say it out loud obviously :/ i didn't used to have acne when we was going out, acne started suddenly and i feel like he regrets going out with me and definitely lies when he says m beautiful.. fingers crossed acne isn't going to rule our life forever! i have learned that more you stress about acne more will appear! do something about it.. dermatologist etc.. whatever needs to be done! my acne is soo much worst its spread all over both my cheeks and when i wear foundation to go out i look worst!! i am just hoping it will go away eventually :/ stupid acne!

I know you how you feel

I am only 16 years old, but i have had acne for 4 years, and i can honestly say that a day has not gone by were i don't think about my acne. I have pretty much just put my life on hold while i wait and hope that my skin gets clear enough for me to be confident again.

I only have one whitehead3 on my face at the moment, but i still have red skin, enlarged pores and a really low self-esteem. I didn't realize how many people actually had acne. I don't go out much, but every time i go to my local supermarket i see at least one person with acne every time i am there.

- Sorry for my bad grammar, acne sort of interfered with my education

Just remember there are plenty of girls with acne who feel and worry the same way about guys not wanting them because of their acne. I know up to about a few months ago when my acne came back after accutane, it did huge damage on my self esteem in going out and approaching guys. At the end of the day, stressing about it just makes it worse. I am a teacher and one of my young students asked me what happened to my face.. at first it hurt real bad but I am learning to live with it for now. I know speaking for myself I would not judge a guy at all for having acne. -Jessica

I could relate to you! I made a topic similar to this.  I plan to travel by myself and enjoy life on my own. It is possible to enjoy life on your own! I want to cycle for up to 100 miles and increase that slowly. I need to save up to buy one of those expensive road bicycle. Oh, and I am thinking of going to church to be inspired.

Keep your head up man.  Acne sucks but its a part of us and we just have to find a way to deal.  Whatever topical you're on, give it at least 3 months and at most 6 months.  Emotionally, force yourself to go out, even when you feel like shit-it helps.  I am single as well and even though i date, its been forever since i was in a fulfilling relationship and its mostly due to my lack of confidence and such.  Eventually, i'll have to find a way to accept myself, imprefections and all.    You can do it too hun.  Just know that we are all more than our impefections.

I feel the same way.  Both my best friends have boyfriends, and they seem to attract more guys than me. or maybe that's all in my head. Acne really does fuck up my mind. Sometimes I feel kinda dumb being a third wheeler, but eh..at least I got my cat and a lot of  other things to keep me occupied, like learning to cook, and finding other cool hobbies,become a better person and work on my self-esteem...but sometimes, I do feel lonely and I'd like to share these interests with a significant other. The time will come one day, que sera sera...
