why are ppl so mean?!? need to vent!!!

[kayla21]

today i had the most depressing day. i work at jc penney's and today i was helping a lady find some stuff. i was being REALLY nice to her (maybe too nice) when all of a sudden she turned rude on me and was like "i know something that can help clear your skin...try cleaning it more and not wearing so much makeup" she wasn't trying to be nice or helpful or anything...just plain out rude i didnt even know what to say to her. i just stood there almost about to cry. just to make it worse, a few days ago when i saw my cousin that i haven't seen in like 6 months, the first thing she said to me was "oh wow i didnt recognize you with all that acne" i have been on accutane for almost 3 months now, so im breaking out really bad. some ppl just dont understand how acne can depress you and its not like i could just snap my fingers and my face will be clear. im just really having a hard time with accutane. its totally changed me as a person. im less social and can't look at people in the eyes. i hope accuatne works and be my normal self again and have clear skin....or clearer than this.

People Can Be Very Hurtful And Ignorant Dont Let Them Get To You I Know Its Hard But Itll Eat Away At You If You Do. Ya Know My Wife And Sisters Use Proactive Not Sure If You Heard Of It But It Really Does Work Im Not Sure Of The Phone Number But There Is Always A Infamercial On Tv And I Think They Even Let You Try It For Free. Jessica Simpson Actually Uses It And P Diddy And They Both Had Skin Problems Its Worth A Shot.. Have You Got A Second Opinion By A Dermatologist Maybe He Can Have Some More Info And Perscibe Something Different. Well Good Luck And I Know How Hard It Is People Like To Judge And Find Fault With Other People Instead Of Looking In The Mirror And It Makes Them Feel Better About Themselves Be Strong And Happy Holidays.....

Oh please don't turn this into a proactiv commercial, those are all fake.

I know how much it can hurt when you get a comment like that, especially from someone you know/like. Just do your own thing, enjoy the things that you like and hang out with the people that can look past your acne. Some people don't realize how lucky they are to be able to lead a normal life without acne.

That's so mean, i get commented and judged about my acne alot too. (girls and guys) Even if i try to make friends they judge.It's not fair i know. some You sometimes gotta pick what can look past your skin. I remember knowing ppl and meeting friends for the longest time and they would currently say something about my acne. I said something kind of mean back and told them not to talk to me if they had to always comment my face. Like faith said, you have to find ppl that will past it and yes some are ppl are damn lucky not to have it and yet they complain about one lousy pimple or like a blackhead. I wish i had one lousy pimple, id be nice. Hey you know, if i knew you or anyone i would never judge you all for your skin, i thought personality made someone. Not anymore it seems. Seems like ppl judge you for your looks anymore and its not fair i know. Everyone has problems including me. lol. i have many many. You know again its not right for them to say anything. I would have gotten upset too. With the ppl and all u know that comment about you having acne, maybe you should tell them how it is. If they keep it up, just do what i did. Kind of ignore them. ive ignored alot of ppl i know because of them doing this to me. Hopefully you wont lose them like i did though but some ppl are just rude cause thats the rudest thing possible to say. Dont let them get through you. try to look the other way like me and go on. goodluck with the accutane and everything else and happy holidays. take care.

I have had similar experiences like that too but you are on the right track. Stay on accutane and finish your dose. I just finished my fourth dose on accutane. It is the only thing that works 100% (you might get acne back but always less severe). Try not to get these people get to you. My problem now are scars!
