That's when you tell her to come over even though you might feel like dying inside. If she sticks by your side at your "worst" then you know she's worth the uncomfortable feelings. No regrets.

I dont mean to be a smartass, but be thankful that you have a girl that wants to see you that badly.
when you'd rather be homeschooled to prevent embarrassment at school.
when you're afraid to go to CVS, because someone you know might see you buying acne products.
when you know the girl that works at CVS by name because you see her like every week to buy acne products.
when you don't go to class reunions because the ppl you used to know will think "wtf happened to her face?"
when someone pulls out a camera, you RUN LIKE HELL.
when all you do is listen to your ipod, hoping you'll escape reality
that.
When their is the most gorgeous, beautiful looking girl at uni who seems like an awsum person and doesn't seem like she would be that hard to approach and get to know, but you know because of your skin, she's so close yet so far away...
when you hope and pray there's a seat in the corner left on the train in the morning so you can hide your face away and dont have to see anyone.
when you refuse to go downstairs without make up, even in front of your family.
when you haven't been swimming in years simply because you can not face going to the pool and having your bare face out in front of strangers.
You know its bad when you have at least 10 different responses in your head that you can rattle off at any given moment if someone asks about your face.
"No. No. Its a burn mark. I was laying down smoking a cigarette and the ash fell on my face."
"I fell on some rocks."
"I got into a food fight with my brother and got burnt by a burrito."
"My mom switched laundry detergents and I'm having an allergic reaction."
Hmmmm.....sounds like a good idea for a thread
when your skin looks bad in every single light, you change diet, buy all sorts of products, feel depressed e very single second of the day, hope that no-one looks at you, hope you don't bump into old friends and feel like life is passing you by. you're in a pod watching the best years of your life melt into nothingness, gone forever.
...
you know it's bad when...
-you start getting your hair cut at Great Clips, because you're embarrassed for your regular hair stylist at the nice salon to see you
-you put your make-up on practically in the dark, so you don't have to look at how bad your skin really is
-you go through a tube of concealer in a week
-you want to kill your friends or other people for posting a picture of you on facebook without photoshopping the hell out of your face before posting it ::UNTAG!::
-you want to punch the lady at the Clinique counter for testing out a foundation on your face and making you look in the mirror to see how it looks
-you forget how to put your hair in ponytail, because you've been trying to hide your face with your hair
-you won't even go for a run in the dark at 9:30 at night without make-up on
-you plan every detail of what your life will be like when you hopefully (fingers crossed) become acne free one day
-you miss sleeping on your stomach
-you get your car windows tinted, so the person at the stoplight won't see your face
-you wish you didn't take for granted the things you were able to before you had acne (you know..taking out the trash without make-up on, looking in the mirror without crying, being able to look people in the eye, etc.)
