Story 4:
I did my makeup nicely one day, and I felt proud of it, mostly because I hid my acne/scars pretty well. A friend came up to me and told me I looked very pretty today and motioned a hand over her face to signal, what I assumed meant my makeup. So I thanked her and told her what foundation I was using. She made a point to interrupt me and said, “No, your skin looks very good today. That was the only time in my life my skin has been complimented and it made me realize my skin care is making a difference; I’m just too critical of myself. I was so in shock to her saying that I just got speechless and teared up a bit. Probably not as extreme as other comments on here, but hopefully it resonates with someone. © AlbinoGiraffes / Reddit
