What To Do When Others Avoid You Because Of Your Acne
We know that acne is disgusting. It will ruin anyone's beauty. So, no matter how beautiful you are, when you have acne, you are ruined. You become ugly. This is the truth, so don't be shocked. Instead, you should learn from the truth in order to change your condition. Here's another truth. At some point, people will avoid you because of your acne, either because they feel disgusted with you, or feel so pity toward you that they don't even dare to look at your face. It happens. So, don't be afraid of it as well. It's the reality of life, and it's the proof of what acne can do to you. Not just it will ruin your skin health, but it will also ruin your relationship with others as well. In the end, you'll feel depressed, with very low self-esteem. Tell me if it isn't true (I know it's true). But, here's my advice.
Fear not! Some people are indeed jealous toward you. They will try to do everything to ruin your life, whether you have acne or not. Yes, they will fill your mind with guilt and shame, and they'll try to give a silent treatment to keep you out of their circle. But, you know, I will support you in this case. I will protect you against those people who are trying to make fun out of your misery. Here are some things that you can do when others avoid you because of your acne:
1. Give them what they want
They want to avoid you, right? So, give them what they want. You will do exactly the same thing. You will avoid them. You will simply get out of their presence. Some people really don't hang around with people that they consider low class. Obviously, you are one of the low-class people in their eyes. But, don't be afraid of that label. It only exists in their imagination. There is a beautiful face that is hidden in you that you will unleash someday. And at that time, they will regret their action today.
2. Pay more attention to the ones who are supporting you
There are people around you who are supportive toward you. They don't mind about your acne. In fact, they treat you as a normal person, even when you feel down because of your acne. They might be your friends, your relatives, or even complete strangers. While you think too much about your acne before you meet those people, those people are displaying a good behavior toward you and ignore your acne completely. In fact, they treat you better than anyone else. You should notice them more. They are your treasures in life, the ones who wish you to succeed. You need to get closer to them and embrace their support with open hands.
3. Realize that there are bad and good people in your life
The truth is that there will be bad and good people in your life, no matter how you think about your life. You can't get out of this reality. What you can do is differentiate those people and label those people as either good people or bad people. Of course, this is subjective, but it will help you to find out your true friends and subtle enemies. Once you're able to differentiate between them, you will be able to choose your friends carefully, and keep yourself away from those who are unfriendly toward you.
4. Be nice and be kind
The best policy is to be nice and be kind toward everyone, as long as they don't harm you or intend to harm you. Yes, you can even act nice and kind toward those who do bad things toward you (such as avoiding you because of your acne), but it will be difficult for you to do. In fact, the relationship that you'll build with them will only be a short-term relationship (and you'll always become the doormat here), not real relationship that you can benefit from. But, being nice and kind toward others should be your basic behavior toward everyone that you meet.
5. Keep being busy doing your stuff
Find the activity that you enjoy most and be busy at it. in this way, other people will not bother you with their silly remarks and unfriendly behaviors. If you love reading, then read as many books as you can. If you like drawing, then draw as many pictures as you can, especially in the presence of people who avoid you. In this way, you will not be seen as an awkward person. Just be sure that you are not ignoring the ones who matter.
6. Don't listen to the naysayers
Sometimes, you will encounter people who are gossiping about you, like this: "Look, it's Suzie the pizza face. Her face is covered fully with acne. So disgusting!" The other girl will respond: "Yes, she's so disgusting!" And then they will look at you with their demeaning look. Or, some people will come to you and say things like this in front of you: "What did you do to your face?" or "Aww, that's really bad for you! Your face is full of pimples." When you are faced with this situation, the best thing you can do is to ignore them. Don't listen to them and reinforce your hope by saying to yourself that you will cure your acne no matter what happens.
7. Fight your acne
At this point, you don't have any reason to let your acne swarm into your face without doing any action to handle them. You need to learn more about your acne condition, how it appears on your face, what causes it, and how to clear it completely. Remember that it is possible for you to cure your acne completely, without leaving any trace on your face. But, it's a long process. So, find a good system to fight your acne to the root cause of it, so that you will not see it again in the future. The best thing to do is to go with a holistic treatment for acne.
Those are the things that you need to do when others avoid you because of your acne. It's not pleasant to see their behaviors, but you have to counter it with the best strategy to keep your mind sane and avoid long-term stress and depression in your psyche. Meanwhile, keep treating your acne until it is cured completely so that you can wow them later.
