[personal] A relative made comments on my skin.

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Holiday craze is always filled with great, wonderful, family-induced problems. Luckily, this year wasn't insane, except today. I guess I just need to rant.I went to visit a relative I'd seen over the holidays, and she said "my husband and I noticed you're breaking out" and proceeded to tell me about her own skin struggles, make recommendations, etc.And it really, really hurt.I'm already saddled with anxiety and a plethora of other problems. My stresses over my skin and my body have kept me from going to class, submitting videos online for homework, or just going outside, quite a lot.Me, being polite, I just nodded, and expressed sympathies for her own struggles. But honestly I just wanted to cry. When I left, I got in my car and had myself a long, ugly cry.I felt as if no matter how much makeup I wore, how sparkly my personality was, the outfits I put together, or how successful I've been in my challenging degree, the only memorable thing about me was my awful, adult acne. I've been trying, for years, working on figuring out what to do about it.I'm crushed. I'm supposed to be going out for New Years, and some other nights, with all my clear-skinned friends. I've had a lot of anxiety about that, but I've been giving myself pep talks, and convincing myself no one notices.Obviously, people notice. Everyone does. I just want to hide in a hole forever.I'm sad, I'm hurt, and I wish I didn't care.Anyway. Preaching to the choir.
