Acne definitely hasn't stopped me from achieving my 'career' goals, which mostly involve writing, research and teaching. Like many others, it has prevented me from approaching women and forming a rela...

You look like a really good looking guy from your pic. There's a lot of talk in the "how you feeling about your acne" thread about relationships right now. But in general, I wouldn't worry about a rel...

Feeling really low today. Everyone my age seems to be getting married, moving in together, having children; they are getting more and more confident, and I feel no different to when I was a teenager: ...

I broke up with my first and last girlfriend when I was 19 and no one since then has found me attractive - I'm 28 now! I know that's a bit depressing for you to hear but I am in the minority - most pe...

The thing that bothers me about these kinds of threads is that people often make out that the only way to 'compensate' for acne is to be confident, outgoing, extrovert, sociable, etc. etc. - especiall...

I have soooo many embarrassing acne moments... One of them is when I went out without makeup and saw my hot professor on the street... I was so sad afterwards... *sigh* Try it the other way round: I...

Hi guys, Reading along the lines and having lurked upon these forums for a while I realize that im not alone in what im about to desribe how im feeling in this moment in time! Anyway im going vent a b...

Yes, I knew a boy in school (he was about 18) who had worse acne than mine, all over his face and back, but still seemed ultra-confident and extroverted. Lots of girls fancied him as a result, though ...

What have you done to fix your acne problem? When I was late teens/early twenties, the doctor gave me some tablets (can't remember the name - but not accutane) and a very high-strength benzoyl perox...

Hello all, I'm in my late twenties and still suffering from mild/moderate acne in combination with extremely dry skin. However, I've basically come to the conclusion that I need to stop focusing on my...

Sunlight is definitely the worst for me - I'm developing a bit of a phobia about it, which makes it difficult when summer comes and everyone else is so happy!

I can look at this from a couple of perspectives, having ended up on the wrong end of things and getting rejected by girls who were shallow and narrow-minded, but also having found someone who accepts...

I recently went for a gruelling 6-hour job interview with skin problems, and went on a first date in the same week. Got rejected for both - needless to say, I'm feeling really great about myself rig...

Yes, definitely! I feel much happier at this time of year. With or without acne, I don't see the appeal of summer, really - I hate that hot, sticky, lazy feeling. I think the people who get the most o...

At one point in my life I constantly thought that I was fat. I'm not talking about going 'I look a bit bloated today'. I'm talking about looking in the mirror and seeing someone a lot bigger than I ac...

As I said in a previous post, I fancy a girl with acne at the moment - her skin doesn't make a blind bit of difference to me. I think a key factor is that she is otherwise pretty, takes good care of h...

I've never been officially diagnosed with BDD but there are signs that I might have tendencies. On the one hand, despite thinking that I look revolting myself, my doctor claimed that my skin was a l...

I agree with the above poster. It sounds like he's not good enough for you - not the other way around. He may be good-looking and smart, but he's clearly a long way off being wise and kind, which are ...

Yeah, I know how horrible it is - I always seem to break out before a date or any other important event. Can only sympathise with you there. On the other hand, you have a lot to feel positive about....

Not sure that this would work for me, personally. My self-esteem is so low I find it hard to believe that a girl with acne could find me attractive; there's too much wrong with me, even beyond skin pr...

Recently, I've started to really fancy a girl who has moderate acne. It's the first time I've ever fancied someone with acne - not because it puts me off but simply because you don't meet that many pe...

Acne is having to take a back seat for me at the moment. My labyrinthitis has returned, so my world is spinning and my thoughts are slow. Some things are worse than skin problems.
