i literally can’t go out without a mask on

i don’t think it’s just me but like i can’t got out without a mask ever since covid since i’ve grown way too comfortable in it. it feels strange being around my friends since they keep telling me to take it off and that i look fine without it but i just can’t since it makes me feel so vulnerable and exposed

being an acne victim sucks, since people will call you weird ass nicknames and give you unhelpful advice like “just drink water”. like, i wouldn’t even have it if i “just drank water”??? sir, respectfully stop giving me that kind of advice when your skin is clear as day. mine is from hormones and genetics and it’s been like this for years now. if a dermatologist can’t fix it how can you?

also when i see someone nice and i wanna be friends i cant bear to go up to talk to them, cuz i always think that they’ll call me ugly or maybe just ghost me after a few texts if we ever exchange IG or any kinda contact info. it kinda feels like my looks ruin everything and i don’t know what to do. every time i look in the mirror i just want to punch myself

(to anyone that reads this all the way: hello! have a nice day/ night. thanks for reading my rant it makes me feel better knowing someone heard my voice)
