hey man i have been reading your recent posts and have noticed you are much more positive now in days and im very happy for you! you probably dont remember me or know me, matter of fact we never corresponded on this message board but i remember you and it seems you are in a better place now in days which is awesome. sorry i dont have much to add to this topic but this is a great thread idea.

Come to acne.org and read other peoples stories. I don't know why it helps but its therapeutic. It keeps me going.

I don't remember I took it for granted, when I had clear skin people still hated me.

There is only one person I have ever seen with acne scars who I felt "sorry" for because his scars were more severe than mine. His entire face was cratered up but guess what that dude was happy. He smiled, laughed, had friends and volunteered with after school programs with kids. I never saw him with a girl (figures) but he seemed happy and I felt good around him. He was a good dude. Usually when I see others with scars I see how handsome/pretty they are despite it. Even besides scars if som

Most guys dont care about stupid flaws I have seen plenty of girls with acne get married, have kids go on dates and live normal happy lives. Men are attracted to women naturally and its not that complicated on our end. Most of us are dying for the attention of a female and that dude you like should feel lucky you are into him. Approach him first if you haven't already. Not all guys have the "confidence" to approach a girl.

I grew up in a small town with 1,500 people and lived out in the out skirts of that small town and there were plenty of assholes there. I went to high school in that small town and was tormented and bullied on a daily basis. People are people no matter where you go and you will meet all kinds. On the flip side I met some cool people too that accepted me for me. I personally want to move to outer space or some shit. This world isn't for me.

Good post. You just have to be realistic about it and try to accept it. I have to admit it is so hard and I struggle getting through the day every single day. People are nice to me, invite me to go places and treat me normally all the time and I should be grateful and you should too. There are many great people that just don't care about what you look like and actually want to get to know you. I have a habit of pushing people away who try to get too close all because of self hate. I too wasted

The way I`m going right now Mandarine, I will definitely be moving into a farm if this carries on - but not the sort with animals. Still really depressed with my skin. I have broken out all over the right side of my neck, jawline and sideburn area and it appears to be spreading to the left side as well now. Even noticed a couple of spots behind my ears - how did that happen? I really do not know what to do about CBT. The theory behind CBT is to do things to challenge the negative thought

well gay guys have hit on me while women are repulsed by me. That being said it might be easier being gay with acne just from what I have experienced. Too bad I'm not gay maybe I'd be happy right now.

story of my life. i remember the first time i saw myself on video, I felt like I was seeing a creature from another planet. I can't compare myself to other human beings because I feel so inferior and when people treat me nicely I am reluctant to accept their kindness and I feel like they have ulterior motives. I don't know what my point is but your post struck a nerve. At least you are smart you have that going for you.

the responses are actually pretty nice. were you expecting people to say that acne makes people beautiful? if acne wasn't a big deal this website wouldn't exist and we wouldn't bother posting here because our lives would be awesome. i still say people with good facial aesthetics shouldn't worry too much about acne like most people on that website were saying. op is a pretty girl and every person i see on here posting their pics are good looking even with acne. you guys are so lucky.

not good

when my face looked like i stuck it in a ant pile. now i have holes in my face. fml

You're worried because you don't get attention by others? My problem is that i get too much attention by others but because of all the wrong reasons! And believe me,getting no attention is far better than getting "wrong" attention. Yes, I get like zero attention and I mean it really ZERO. I don't agree with you. I'll give you an example. You see a hot girl across the street. She is staring at you, because she wants you to notice her and because you like her. In my case, when she notices and s
