I want to, before I go a little in-depth, share with you my diet and cleansing routine. My diet simply consists of lots of celery and salad, I cook eggs for protein, eat a vegetarian diet. I still get away with eating things like cookies and chips and I drink a lot of soda, so maybe for some people the effects of diet are overstated, or perhaps nonexistent. I follow the regimen precisely and it seems to help. Occasionally I'll have green tea.
I just wanted to share my feelings because I am trying to get myself out there and meet someone and live a better life. I am a university student and I work retail part time, met someone really cool at work and guess what? Got too needy and came on too strong. She won't even really speak to me anymore. She has acne herself, but It didn't even factor in with my attraction to her, so girls if you're reading this, ACNE doesn't matter at all, I promise, at least not with a guy who's worth your time. 
She is a really amazing girl and I respect her but it just brings me down that she won't speak to me, I just wish we could be friends. We hit it off so well and my insecurities ruined a wonderful opportunity. I wake up everyday and I feel so unattractive even with clear skin.. for instance I am underweight and I don't know what to eat to gain without it factoring in with my skin. my college professor told me that I looked sad today and people at work ask me if I'm okay. I'm not okay, my heart hurts and I am so lonely. I've been a prisoner to acne and the despair from anxiety and I still hate the way that I look. I hope I can find someone, and not just anyone, because I have a big heart and a lot of love to give and I want to make a sincere emotional and spiritual connection with someone.. not looking for a good time.
I just want to wish you all the best in getting clear skin and I hope that you will find happiness in its departure. I really do. I don't want any of you to feel the way that I do. And if it's love or friendship you're looking for, I hope you find it, because I am very sad and alone and I don't wish this on anyone. ever.
I'm sorry you're feeling down. *hugs* I think most of us have had moments where we became too needy and freaked someone out in the past (I've had plenty of them with guys throughout my teens and twenties). I relate to the pain of all that. Sometimes things get screwed up beyond repair but it's likely that we were never meant to be with that person anyway. Just try to continue putting yourself out there and trying new things. Maybe travel or go to some music festivals or things like that this summer. You have clear skin, now you just need to expand your horizons and find happiness again. You will meet new friends/lovers...I promise.
Life is still difficult for me 
. I can't seem to make friends because I am not good at it. Perhaps it is something that I don't have much of experience. I've been always a loner. In reality, I am a happy person! That's because I am a vegan and eat very healthy which makes me happy. All of my vegan friends are happy no matter what. I know a 54 year old lady who is a vegan and she is happy regardless of her son giving her difficulties and also, she's single. So yeah, I'm a happy person regardless of how difficult life is. I will continue with my career and enjoy life on my own or with a friend to the fullest. 
Thanks guys, I hope someone is out there. I had never really had such a natural feeling of chemistry with anyone, so it's hard. And we both work together the same hours, so I'm trying to avoid her but at some point I feel like something will need to be said because I feel so terrible about being so insistent. I think I love too much and care and want someone to love that it sabotages my chances. I really admire her, though. It's really a sad hopeless situation.
I appreciate the encouragement. If I can keep my skin good, then the next step is to gain weight and build muscle.

I imagine having a gf.. I am not good at communicating because I am usually quiet. I like being in quiet places. Whenever I go somewhere that is crowded of people with a lot of noises, I would want to escape. I am sorry things aren't working out for you. If you have a feeling for someone, go for it! Start slowly. I never felt something toward a girl. Maybe because I always avoid them .. dunno why. I am incapable making eye contact with people. Also, when I workout next to a girl, I start to feel uncomfortable.. dunno why ;\
Part of it is that I am critical of my appearance (and I worry that I'm not a good enough conversationalist). There are some girls at work that are acquaintances and the same at school, but I just wish there were something I could do to make myself more enticing to them. When I had acne I would never converse with girls and I thought that things would change now that I rarely breakout. I thought that was holding me back. As it turns out acne was just a physical manifestation of how I felt on the inside, and it provided me with an easy incentive to avoid others and not face the world. Nothing has changed. I am still sad, afraid, and bitter that I always feel inferior. I just want to be enough.
And honestly, I'm not a shallow guy, so things like acne or appearance in general aren't priority with me. Overall chemistry, substance is key with me. This girl that I met at work is bilingual, writes music, acts in school drama productions, painted a city monument which proceeds supported local school literacy, and much more. I just got a little carried away and I wish with everything I had that I could take it back.
Ghost, you've never been in love? You mustn't be afraid to take small steps, with or without acne.
It's great that you finally have clear skin! I myself, have been struggling with acne for about 11 years now. The regimen used to work for me and for those 2 or so years, my skin was the best it was. Hardly any breakouts and post-acne marks that would disappear within weeks!
Now, my skin has gone to shit once again despite being on it. I am so self-conscious that I'm afraid to make new friends for fear of being ridiculed about my skin, much less be in a relationship. I prefer staying at home most of the time so I don't have to face people, unless I have to go to uni. The worst thing is, everyone I know has clear skin. I have to hide my real face under makeup just to appear in public, even to buy food. As a result, I cannot strike conversations to save my life.
It is difficult to change your mindset because of your previous acne problem, but on the bright side, you are now relatively/completely clear! Take this time to improve your confidence and be happy! I would definitely live my life differently if I didn't have acne, but I can only wish..
All the best Zero!
