When I first said I have acne It felt like I was revealing a huge, hidden secret. It's one of those things that you have to admit, to be able to accept it and move on to the next thing in life. It's like... Ok, everyone knows now even though I already knew that they are aware of it, however, now I don't have to hide it. My secret is out and I'm free. Even better, now I feel more comfortable around the poeple who I admitted it to! This feeling of being comfortable gives me more confidence and that's what we all need. We're all beautiful even if we do have acne.
My point is, admit you have acne to people. Then you don't have to think about what they are wondering about your acne. Talk about it just like you would every other problem and eventually you'll grow comfortable with it. We all know the worst part about having acne is wondering what people think when they look at your skin. Talking about it lets everyone know you're aware of it (and probably working on it) and you're comfortable with it. Your acne will be a thing in the past. Sure, breakouts will keep occurring but the presence of them will already be known.
I know this sounds kind of silly but it really does make a difference. Admitting something about your self somehow changes the insecurity it fills you up with. Once the initial admittance blows over, you're constant anxiety about your acne disappears. I guess it like a fighting mechanism, if everyone knows you're okay with it, then they can't use it against you. It's all psychological! Go ahead and try it yourself!
