fun. i'm clear at the moment (thank god) but have had persistent mild-moderate acne for 10+ years... i'm in my mid-twenties now... anyway alot of these sound painfully familiar to what i've been through. here's a few more of mine!
when driving, you lean into the car so your face isn't too close to the window and people can see that huge zit on your cheek.
when you wear a hoodie to class... in the summer.
when you get very uncomfortable talking to someone at close distance, to the point of avoiding contact with EVERYONE during a particularly bad breakout day.
when you pop a pimple in the car, at work, in a public bathroom, etc. any place other than home.
when a friend asks "is that dried blood?" while pointing at a zit on your cheek that you just popped 30 mins earlier.
when you get so close to being clear, then completely clobber any small blemish that you find in the magnifying mirror until your face is full of fresh red marks. and the cycle continues...
when it takes YEARS for you to learn how to not pick at your face.
when you have memories of the biggest zit you've ever popped, and are still amazed.
when you have the smell of Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash imprinted in your memory.
when acne becomes less of a skin condition and more of a life experience.
when how good or bad your day is mostly depends on how your acne is doing.
when you get happy seeing other people breakout, and get jealous seeing other people clear up.
when you try to trace back and find that initial "trigger" that started your acne in the first place.
when you constantly check the rearview mirror in your car NOT to look at traffic but to look at your acne.
when you get soo embarassed to buy acne meds at the store, that you have to gather up all your courage just to get out of your car in the parking lot.
when you learn how to maneuver your face like a pro so that a certain someone never sees that zit on your cheek.
when you finally get completely clear but are still terrified of acne coming back at any moment 
when you can think of a million more of these to type!
when people's body language are disgusted at you everywhere you go
when you hear someone say "trying not to look at his face" when walking by you
when you hear someone say "dont look" and you know they are talking about you
when you accepted the fact you will be alone for the rest of you life, and wont have anyone ever
When your skin is so dry that you can't open your mouth really wide or the skin around your mouth/chin will flake (making eating large things, laughing, etc difficult and you try things like cutting a too big sandwich with a plastic knife)
When you can't wear clothes that show how different the skin color of your face (mine: red) is compared to the rest of your body (super pale). You are jealous of girls who can wear v-necks and summer dresses.
When you calculate how long you spend in the bathroom per week dealing with your skin (so many hours). And what you could do with that time if you had perfect skin.
When you think up crazy scenarios of what you would do to have perfect skin or what you would give up (like what if I had really bad acne on some part of my body easily hidden by clothes that would be impossible to treat - but my face would be perfect and require no maintenance)
You want to go camping/backpacking but are terrified by the thought of no sink.
You wash your hands with neutrogena/an oil free product before touching your face/applying creams because your fingers need to be super clean too and go though so many bottles of face wash. (And you dry out your hands so much that they crack and bleed one winter and people look aghast)
You don't eat dairy and feel too embarrassed to explain why to friends/people you have just met and they won't stop pressing you about it (But, whyyy don't you eat dairy? Are you lactose intolerant? No? So why then?).
You have trouble sharing a bathroom with friends/other people because you spend so much time in the morning getting ready so you wake up an hour earlier so you can be out of the bathroom before other people need to use it. You are scared about what others think you are doing that taking so long in the bathroom.
You feel like your parents are ashamed of you. And that they try really hard to get your skin clear -giving you advice, buying products, making appts, etc- and acting like they are doing this for you, but really they are just doing it because they are embarrassed of your acne. Instead of just loving you they way that you are.
When your skin is so dry that you can't open your mouth really wide or the skin around your mouth/chin will flake (making eating large things, laughing, etc difficult and you try things like cutting a too big sandwich with a plastic knife)
I can completely relate to this! People wonder why I don't smile often anymore.
First off, I am seriously depressed over my acne.
Secondly, I can't fucking smile, because it hurts like hell, thank you very much! Ugh...

feel your confidence has suddenly shattered and the pieces of it yanked away from you.
