I have no job and I don't go to school, so I rarely leave the house, but always at least once a week.
Then we are just about the same buddy =/ this fucking sucks
Yeah I do. Even if its the worst breakout. I'll go out with no makeup.
I don't wear makeup to school, at home, no where.
So how is that going for you?
Constant harrasment? Someone will get punched in the throat if they mention anything about my skin in public.
After awhile you just have to say this is as good as it will get and move on with this peice of shit life. Dont get me wrong I hate being around people but they can go fuck themselves I need my education and money ya dig.
damn, i wish i had your guts dude. i was like this too at first but it begins to suck anyway if you get esp shitty ppl, i mean its your daily life afterall 
I stared begin harrased because of my skin in my 9th grade,when I first stared getting acne ,not harrased , just kids my age making fun of my acne .Some would ask me " Is that a webcam?" that sucked.Now I have a lots of red marks from the inital break out of tane and I had to use make up though I'm a guy , if I don't use it I'm and feel like a monster.
Now ALL my colegs found out that I'm wearing make up and they now make fun of this..yup my life sucks , hard times for me.All I'm thinking is that I wil get that V-beam done after I'm done with this tane and after a few session my red marks will be gone and I can have a awsome summer.But hah these are just my dreams as of right now.
Ow and add a poker issue to all these and you will get a nice result.I mean I lost over 500$ of my parents money , my life DOES suck.
I don't believe in limiting yourself by a term or personality type, I can be whatever I want. Extrovert, Ambivert, Introvert. I found that when I took a personality test and got INFJ (introverted, etc.), I started acting like an INFJ. Then I took another personality test and got ENFP (extroverted, etc.) I started acting like an ENFP. I find that when I'm at social events, and comfortable, I become extroverted. Likewise, when I'm alone I become introverted. The only reason I'm ever not an extrovert at any kind of social event is because I'm feeling self conscious and insecure, because of acne, braces, not being muscular. Mainly it's the acne, because I know the braces will be off within a year, and the only reason I don't work out is because my will to live and improve is based on my self-esteem at the current moment.
When I'm alone in introvert mode, my emotions are usually based on my self-esteem, which is usually based on my appearance, which is usually based on how bad my acne is.
When I'm in a social situation in extrovert mode my emotions are based on how much attention I get and how much people like me.
I find that when a bad breakout is coming on I get this feeling like I just want to sink into the ground and then be in my bed, under the covers, hiding from the world.
Yeah, so people at my school think I get sick a lot, truth is I rarely do, those are just the days my self-esteem wasn't high enough. I find though if I am forced to go even though my self-esteem is really low, I enjoy it, for the most part, well at least I don't regret it.
I usually feel like going out, when I'm in extrovert mode, but I'll probably decide not to if I look in a mirror, where I always go into introvert mode. I find my best days are the days that I completely ignore the mirror, without even trying.
I tried wearing makeup once* in 10th grade. Guys, don't ever try makeup, being known as the guy that wears makeup is way worse as being known as the guy with acne. Unless you don't give a crap about what people think of you, but then you wouldn't be trying makeup in the first place.
*by once I mean about half the school year
I mainly go out for two reasons: school and groceries. I don't wear makeup, ever, because I don't want to damage my skin further. It's depressing, but because of my introvertedness, I don't talk to people anyway so I guess it doesn't bother me that much....>.>
However, when I'm grocery shopping, I am way more uncomfortable than at school. The last time I was out getting groceries, an older woman behind me said "Have you tried proactive? It did wonders for my grandson." Of course, I politely said that not even doctor-prescribed medication helps my skin, etc. etc. But she would not shut up. I finally just said "I'll look into it." After I paid, I rushed back to my car and sat in the driver's seat crying for a long time. It was really horrible. Even if someone if being nice (or in their mind, helpful) I still get so upset. It's like, when people don't say anything, I can pretend my skin isn't as bad as I see it...but when they do take notice, I'm brought back to my miserable reality.
Anyway, I'm glad I found this site because I'm learning a lot. I hope we can all feel beautiful walking out in the real world some day soon <3

Yeah this is why i don't really want to go out to try and avoid situations like this.. i'm just feed up with the whole acne situation.
I still go out. I pretty much have to since I have class, volunteer work, and live with my friends. I've never been harassed for my skin. The only thing I feel sometimes is self conscious or embarrassed. But usually that's all in my head, since most people aren't scrutinizing your skin.
For me, staying in all day by myself would be far worse. Then I'd be letting acne control my life and it'd be all I think about. It helps me to get out, be with people, remind myself what life's really about.

Having acne definitely sucks! But it's true what the poster above me said...We shouldn't let acne control our lives. Although, it's easier said than done. I hope you can find the regimen that fits for you, and that someday soon your acne heals. Let's make 2013 the year for clear, beautiful skin! 
I've been a recluse for a long time because of my acne.
I know I shouldn't give a fu*k what people think and say, but I do.
I have been "harassed" in the past by various age groups and personality types. It's a sinking feeling.
When my family asks me why I avoid public places and situations like the plague,
I tell them they couldn't possibly know the discomfort of being stared at,
for all the wrong reasons, everywhere you go.
I work for my father's contracting company and even model on the side
(make-up works wonders when applied right) but I still feel ugly and distanced from my peers.
People can be pretty fierce with their criticisms, especially if they don't understand something
as socially debilitating as acne. I've found it's worse with girls (not to belittle you guys).
When/if I'm ever free of my acne, I will NEVER make anyone with it feel as little as I have.
Good luck to you all!
