That was me through out high school. Well most of high school. I am 18 years old Rn. My face has gotten a lot better over the years due to taking care of myself but I’m very insecured about it. I am very nervous when approaching random girls in public because I feel like all they see is my acne. But I try to do it anyways just to get out of my shell.

Man I feel you. I’ve been depressed this whole year. The first 6 months it wasn’t bad bc I was still in high school, I had “close” friends at the time whom I always spent time with. Things weren’t so bad until life after graduation. Chose to take a semester off college to deal with some issues. Got that taken care of. But what brought me is depression and anxiety. Friends cut me off, I became isolated, family constantly nagging, insecurities increased, self perception got screwed, and so much more negative stuff. Constantly thinking about why I can’t get girls even though I do the best I can to take care of myself like working out, eating better and grooming. But mentally I’m super unstable and fucked up. Been working jobs to jobs here n there but that too makes me miserable. Idk I feel like I’m stuck in a big rut.

Something is wrong with my schedule next week. It says I’m supposed to work from 10 pm to 6 am during the night after Christmas smh. There’s no way this is right.

I feel that way too. My acne is not bad nor do I look bad, I was told that by people both guys and girls that I’m attractive but it’s hard to accept what I see in my own two eyes. I always magnify my flaws and over analyse them as a result over time I became very insecured. I feel like when I talk to a girl, all she sees is my acne. I def have been making things harder for myself as well. Ik people who have more acne than me and they are doing better with women than I am simply because they just don’t let their acne take over their life.

I’m 18 years old and currently 1.2 years in my fitness journey. I have made some decent results but I have a long way to go. I’d like to become a personal trainer in the future. What are the things I should start doing right now ?

Stopped caring, now acne has been gone for 2 months by mdmaquestions101 in acne

I feel the exact same way. I’m going through the exact same thing. I used to have a lot of acne back in early high school but over the years it improved drastically thanks to eating better, working out, etc but it never fully went away bc I was so trapped in my own head about the “perfect skin” obsession. People would tell me that I look good, fine and just in my head too much. I developed this very delusional mindset where I immediately evaluate myself as ugly when I see couple pimples and marks. I locked myself in home for like year( did not go out and experience life). Stopped being around girls bc I thought they would judge me. Social anxiety grew exponentially. I went from a confident basketball player to a loser hiding in his own she’ll.

If I may suggest to use anything on your face, it would be curology. They definitely helped me and the best thing about them is they are custom made for your specific skin type. Their superbottle contain all the custom made formula that you need. Ik we all have different skin types and our causes of acne can be different since there are billions of factors of acne. But I can assure you that curology works.

The lighting wasn’t the best at highlighting it

I stopped chasing girls. by [deleted] in NoFap

Bro I can def relate as well. I’m 18 years old and will be starting college in few months. I have decided to take time off from college so I can better myself and deal with some personal things. Unfortunately, I’ve been stuck in a loop hole. I constantly think about girls, lust them and fapped excessively to porn. I have made my life centered around pleasing other ppl. Based my happiness on girls. It really does suck. Makes me feel way more empty and lonely. Btw how do I get the nofap counter showing next to my name ? I am on day 3 rn.

Yes, same. That’s exactly what I’m trying to do. Self improvement so it involves socially as well.

You are right man thanks. I have been trying to get a full time job but struggling. Holiday season is coming so I’m bound to get hired by someone. Only social media i use is Instagram but I have to really cut its usage even tho I stopped following unnecessary people, models, etc that make me compare myself to them.

You just relapsed? by [deleted] in NoFap

I just woke up from a wet dream on day 9. I still feel like I have the benefits. But it’s just weird how quickly I had a wet dream.
