I suffered with acne from 15-18 in my teenage years and 18-23 in my adult years. Acne is supposed to be a common problem among teenagers, right? Well most of the kids at my high school actually had fairly clear skin, making me feel like an outsider. And to still have bad acne into my adulthood...I questioned if something was wrong with my biology because now it was even RARER to see anyone else with pimples.

The bad thing about suffering with it as an adult is that several other adults have approached me - strangers like the cashiers in a checkout line - and recommended products to me, which I found to be highly offensive. Offensive because obviously I am already aware of my situation and can take care of myself, and if I saw a random fat person, I would not recommend a diet pill to them, y'know? I had made peace with my cursed face at this point and saw beyond the superficiality of it, and for people I don't know to act like there's something wrong with me was not cool.
