How does acne affect flirting?

[Deepthinker25]

I have a bit of acne, pretty much just on my forehead, and its been on and off, as in like one day it'll be pretty bad and the next it'll look like it was never there. be honest, does acne affect flirting, and how?

It can affect your self-confidence. When people flirt, they need self-confidence to show that they are worth loving and being with. This is what attracts people to you, plus being sure of yourself ensures you'll be treated with more respect as well (unless the person is mean to you no matter what you do).

I have had struggles with acne on and off for years...now I am recovering, with some discoloration left behind. Nevertheless, when I put make-up on to conceal it until it fades completely away, I felt that slowly but surely the confidence in how I appear to myself increased. I also changed my attitude towards myself and stopped being so harsh in my thoughts about myself. When I felt better about how my internal healthiness, I noticed that a guy who didn't really hit on me from before started hitting on me now, and I really didn't change drastically.

My skin still isn't perfect (yet!) but the guy noticed I had a different, more attractive presence around me whether my skin was flawless or not. Take care of yourself the best way you know how, but remember to change your outlook. Find other things that can build your confidence like being good at a hobby or at school, etc. That should help you base your confidence on something more stable than your looks.

If it affects your self confidence, then you might not be as successful, but otherwise, don't worry about it.
