Hello beautiful ))
Who told you that everyone else is joyous, positive, happy and on high all the time, like 24/7? The most handsome man and the most gorgeous woman on planet earth, both do not feel any different than how you are feeing. In fact it is not possible to be in that state of mind all the time. So relax, be easy and stop judging yourself, feeling sad. What you are experiencing is absolutely normal ))
As for your mild acne, I guess everyone has a different skin type and body. And I think this is a age when tremendous hormonal changes happen in a woman's body causing the existing imbalances to heighten or worsen. I am sure you are taking medications/applying creams to suppress and keep them in control. Try to also control them through your diet, daily cleaning regime, and most importantly be gentle and caring towards yourself and your acne )) Yes, you read it right, towards your acne or for that matter any other issue bothering you.
Here are some things to remember:
1. Learn to accept and love yourself completely without judgment, exactly the way you are. This applies to everyone, acne or no acne )) Don't let this to discourage you, overlooking other things about you and your body. Avoid trying to hide your acne by applying too much make up. Take efforts to keep your skin dry and clean as much as you can.
2. Just because your friends or other girls so not have acne, does not make you less attractive or beautiful. Yes, I am a guy and you have to trust me on this. Self esteem comes from inner beauty and confidence. You feel low at self esteem because you are focusing too much on your problem. On a physical level, try little change in hair style, the clothes you wear etc. Keep it simple, elegant and graceful. Look at yourself in the mirror and appreciate what you see in there ))
3. Everyday when you get out of your house, forget that you have problems. Smile more often, be cheerful and feel confident. Everyone likes to see someone who is happy and brings a smile on peoples face, so be that. Of course, you don't have to go out of your way to make others smile ;) LOL. My point was to forget that you have any issues. And remember there are many people in this world who have acne on their heart, so to speak, what about that )) So relax!
4. As I said, it's just a matter of years and who knows, if you accept yourself for now and take positive steps with confidence, you may not have acne anymore, right?
No one can build your self esteem, but you! When you show your true self to the world without fear and judgment, people would want to share space with you, want to be with you because they see your beautiful heart, not your acne.
So good luck and keep smiling ))
Hugs ))
