Acne Support Group

Dont worry what ppl think. They are also worryiing about what ppl thnk of them. WE aall have our issues/problems. :)
Love!

I like the way you phrased it..your right they're probly worrying about something I might think of them. I just don't know how to respond if they do make a comment or say something. I don't think ppl understand that when you "suggest" lotions/creams to someone with acne scarring and you A. do not have acne scarring and B. were not asked to give a suggestion then that's flat out rude. It's like me recommending a diet pill to someone who's obese. That would just be rude.

I agree with both of you.

If you really don't want to hear it, one good response is to politely say:

"Got it, thanks!"

I think it implies you don't feel a need to continue talking about it, but you appreciate the suggestion :-)

But seriously, most people are too busy thinking about themselves (and what other people think of them) to stay concerned with someone else's acne.

Don't worry about it! Unnecessary stress on what will undoubtedly be a fantastic time for you. Just go for it, and enjoy!

I'm quite nervous still, I have never met anyone with my acne scarring issues, I mean it's not just my roommates. I have to share a bathroom with 30 other people who live on the same floor. I am so worried/nervous/ i don't even know how to describe it. It's like how am I supposed to do my makeup in front of people? or even simple things life washing my face/coming out of the shower. Like, I am so afraid of that one person who is so extremely word, or even the person who stares. I don't know what to do, and I'm still stressing over this. Also, I can't just leave my dorm and say oh I want to go on a hike this morning... no I have to go to the bathroom/ my room (if there's good lighting in the room), and do my makeup, then finally I'll be able to go. I feel like college is so spontaneous..hey let's go _____.. oh yeah hold on I'll be ready in an hour. IDK I really gotta stop stressin/worrying.

They shouldn't say anything.. If they say something negative, then that's rude, and I would find new roommates if that happened..

Alot of people get acne, Im sure out of those 30 there'll be some who have it too..

I wouldnt' worry about it - enjoy dorm life and have fun !

Thank you! Your right, if they do say anything, then I shouldnt make myself summer and stay in the same dorm, I'll switch out. It's a barrier I need to overcome -- this fear of not wearing any makeup/ people making rude comments/ my insecurities is something I need to conquer and hopefully i do.
