I'm sort of a mess when it comes to self confidence. People at school don't understand why I am so unsure of my appearance, they tell me I'm good-looking and all that, but I sure don't feel it.
The reason for this? I have a dry skin condition called eczema (there is no cure for it) & I have some cases of it on my face around my mouth. It causes me to become really insecure whenever I have to look people straight in the face, or even talk to them. Do you have any insecurities, or problems with self-confidence? |

I also have eczema. But it's not enough to make me self-conscious, maybe because I've had it all my life & have learned to live w/ it. I had it really bad in the crooks of my arms & I got medicine stuff for that. But I wouldn't use that for my face because... it's my face. Use Eucerin. It's just lotion, not medicated or anything. It's just really good for sensitive skin & really moisturizing. Don't use it where it's not reAlly dry though, it will end up looking oily. I but I put a ton on my messed up spots before I go to sleep & during the night it soaks in & I am fixed.
Anyhow, I'm self conscious not because I think I'm fat or ugly or whatever other kind of nonsense, but because I'm constantly comparing myself to others. It doesn't matter if I'm skinny, I've gotta be skinnier than some other person. Or prettier. Or smarter. Or nicer. And that's no good, I know. |

And that's no good, I know. for the most part the eczema has cleared on my face (YAAY), only.. now i have these weird spots where it was.. like my skin is a lighter tone in those areas than my actual face color is. foundation & stuff doesn't work. I've also had eczema all my life, & i've learned to live with it as well. i think the biggest reason why i have a problem with it on my face is because the stupid boys in fifth grade used to always make fun of me for it. (now i'm in 10th grade.. so that was a while ago but i can't let things go) now if one thing is wrong on my face i have a shit attack  really bad quality of mine. |
