This was an awesome post, and I sensed your passion in these words. Thanks for sharing.

This hit really close to home. It's really unfortunate that we have to experience things like this. It really sucks, sorry you have to work there.

I don't think it's just people who have never had it. I was having a really good mood day yesterday when a woman walked right up to me at the gym ... A busy gym.. & said "don't worry I used to hav...

Those comments were probably written by insecure, misinformed, punk kids. I wouldn't think any more of it.  As Lucas said, one of the biggest and most frustrating misconceptions is that yo...

Yeah it sucks.

I want to begin with mentioning that my problems go far beyond my skin, but I can't help but notice the damage on the surface when I look in the mirror. Having said that, I try to alleviate my depress...

Fuck acne!!

Yeah I get treated the exact same. People don't want to sit next to me and relatives avoid kissing me on the cheek, they kiss me on the shoulder or neck - which is just plain weird but at least they t...

Hey Rick,   I took a look at your pictures (please excuse me if I was overstepping any bounds) and, from man to man, you're a very handsome man, man. Seriously .       I don...

I'm not posting these thoughts right now to receive anyone's sympathy or empathy. I'm writing these thoughts at the moment to let people know that their words do mean a lot to another individual's sta...

To be totally honest, as much as you say its not BDD (but later relented that it could be some level of BDD), I think this is CLASSIC BDD. I see some VERY minor scarring, but your view of it is total...

Rick, I wasn't able to read the entire thread but I want to tell you that I think your skin looks REALLY good. I don't think you should be hesitant to going out because those feelings will go away. Co...

That's pretty interesting. Will this one person survey be enough to remove my thoughts about glasses? Probably not but I really do appreciate the feedback, and I will mix this response into my thought...

I hope that's the reason.

You're right Oneluvlychik. I want to live an everyday life in public, but my thoughts always pull me back to the house, and I always make excuses for myself. I need to snap out of it, and I will. I th...

Thanks Robert for all the links, and I posted some pictures of my scarring a few days ago.

I just realized that I never really tried improving my skin. I guess because in the past, in my mind, I tried everything, and with visiting a few dermatologists, I thought if they can't repair it, how...

You're right Lore. I'm sure I have some form of BDD. I just hate to admit it because I feel BDD is a diagnosis for the attractive spectrum. But, regardless of the appearance, if one isn't satisfied wi...

It's fine; I feel honored actually.

It seems that this happens to me all the time; it never fails, and it makes my mind go crazy while interacting with them. I can never focus on the conversation. People want to blur their vision when i...

That's horrible.

My image obsession goes beyond acne and scars because even before puberty, I remember being self-conscious about my appearance. I’ve noticed lately that a self-image is stored in my mind. This self-im...

Understood.

Thank you Snowflake for your response. Your point of view is pretty much spot on with my own. Unfortunately, I do contradict myself, a lot. It's one of the many factors that go with "introspection." B...

"What's the matter? You've never seen a handsome man with an ugly face before?"   How about that as an ice breaker? It made me chuckle.   All kidding aside, I think I've figured out my pr...
