No, but I do feel comforted sometimes when I see HD movies and the likes and notice bumps or things like that in the actress's complexions or people in real life with some acne. It's quite common where I live.

No, my skin insecurities have nothing to do with comparing it to others. It's all within myself. It's taken me awhile to get to that point, but what finally caused me to stop comparing is realizing that you never know what THEY are going through that may be much worse.

All the time ...

Could care less about others skin.

I was just at the mall today and I noticed the same thing! Seeing girls with absolutely no makeup on makes me so jealous! I really wish I could be like them and not have to worry about putting makeup on to hide the red marks. They don't realize how lucky they are.

This was me last night in particular.

I was out with family for dinner and a girl I went to school with a few years ago happened to be there. She's lucky to be very pretty and I couldn't help but notice on top of that, she's also lucky enough to have clear skin. I was noticing this more than I normally would because I was already having a bad day skin-wise and already feeling quite down about my skin and how I look. It just made me fall into a negative way of thinking for the rest of the day - about how ugly and gross I look

If I'm having a 'good' day where my skin is a bit more under control or I just happen to be feeling good, the state of other people's skin wouldn't get to me - but when I'm already feeling down about my skin / appearance, then it can sometimes get to me and it then makes me feel worse.

I know I've had issues with comparing myself to other people in the past - it actually took me a while to realise that I was comparing myself to others - so it's something I really try not to do. It doesn't help anything, there's no point to it and it just makes me feel upset. I know, somewhere / somehow, there are things about me to like - I just forget this sometimes and sometimes it's hard for me to see
