Hey everyone, I have a problem of letting my looks determining whether or not I should be social or not. The thing is, I would love to just chat away with people, and form friendships, with people and strangers everywhere and even get closer to the friends i have now. but the problem is that I let my acne problem be the judge of whether or not i should talk to someone, ask for help, or just be friendly in general. I hate that when i talk to someone, instead of focusing on them, I focus on my acne and how much i bet they're judging me.

therefore, i come off as an insecure little girl when i'm in my 20s its so frustrating, i dont' know what to do.

how do i get over being so self conscious around others?

help!
