How can I improve my self esteem when god gave me this horrible acne and scars?

I don't break out as much as I did in my teens, but I bear the burden of all these scars on my face now. Ever since I started having acne, my self esteem and self worth have spiraled down to zero. I always think people will judge me based on how I look and not who I am as a person, especially when it comes to finding a companion. In this world people seem to value first money and looks, of which I have neither. It's hard for me to make friends with this god-given curse as well. So how can I change this, short of having reconstructive or cosmetic surgery and getting put on accutane so that I might never have any future breakouts.How can I improve my self esteem when god gave me this horrible acne and scars?
you really need to see a good doctor. They don't have to do ';reconstructive'; surgery-they do like a dermabrasion to minimize the scarring. It is worth it. Just go see the doc and see what the options are. there have been so many medical advancements in this area over the past 10-20 years that teens no longer have to suffer with bad acne. Don't let this ruin your youth.





also, talk to a counselor.





practice reminding yourself about all of your wonderful qualities-write them down and carry it with you. take a look at the list when you feel down. Hang in thereHow can I improve my self esteem when god gave me this horrible acne and scars?
People don't judge you as much as you are thinking. And making friends isn't hard for you because you have acne. It's because you aren't confident and aren't comfortable around them.





In order to become more confident, you have to dance in public once a week to an entire song, without your friends or family.





As for the acne, try a treatment and don't drink soda, and reduce sweets and unhealthy snacks. Wash your face every day.
I started having acne when I was twelve and I still get acne now. Im not a good looker, neither are a lot of my friends, but we are either all in relationships or married. None of us are millionaires, we all still work the old 9-5.





People only judge you on your looks until they get to know you personally then they judge you based on your personality. Join a group along the lines of whatever interests you have and then you can talk with people along those lines. Go out more and socialise with people and dont be afraid.






stop wallowing in self pity! there zits! everyone gets them! if you dont have them you are either a spoiled teen star (miley ehem cyrus ehem) that gets extra makeup/care or you havent reached puberty yet!
i had the same problem. dye your hair excercise and tan. it makes everything click.
Acne Cream is the way to go for the acne. As for the scars, The beauty, as hard as it is to cope with, is not on the outside. You may see pretty people and think, ';Gosh i wish i could be them!'; But your so unique and those scars and such won't be there in some years! Just let your body get past this stage! Surgery is horrible, and God made you the way you are because he's got a great plan for you! Let God work it out. I have a friend who isn't so good looking herself. But she is the sweetest person you learn to ignore her blemishes, and focus on the inner beauty!



first give our self a hug!! :( your making me sad!


if someone doesn't want to get to know YOU because of how you look then that pile of sh!t person isn't wort your time or breath anyway!! pi$$ on them!! Their loos NOT yours!!


and second its not the way to look that attract or respells people its the energy you let off!! If you are loving life and happy then people are gunna want to know what you are so damn happy about. If you are grumpy walking looking at the ground and not initiating conversation then of course people are going to keep walking by you!


take a self esteem class and learn to love you!!! you are worth loving and when learn that you will attract all kinds of people
