I don't really have acne anymore (sometimes I have a little... it is mostly around my period, so its probably just hormones causing it), but I have a lot of leftover, red, hyperpigmentation marks and uneven skin that leave me feeling self-conscious. I'm a shy person even without them, so they just make it so much worse. I've tried a lot of different things to fade them, and they just won't go away. I guess time will be the only thing that will make them less noticeable.
Anyway- I am tired of feeling sorry for myself and letting it stop me from doing what I want to do... I'm still struggling, though, and every time I go to call the gym, I decide to put it off. A lot (not all) of the people will probably be very fit and attractive, and I'll feel like such an awkward ugly duckling, sitting on a pedestal for all to gawk.
Will people stare? What would you think, personally?
