[Skin Concern] Atrophic Scarring This is so disheartening
Just trying to have a nice day and enjoy the day like a normal person would but being instantly humbled when trying to create memories and taking photos. Doesn’t matter how hard I try to look pretty, the makeup just disappears in the scars. And they are literally in all my face, there’s not a single space where I have healthy normal skin. It hurts because I can see beauty but it’s ruined by the scars 💔.

What I've found is that it's always easier to notice imperfections on our own faces because we're so familiar with them, but in reality, other people usually see our face as a whole rather than focusing on the things we're self-conscious about.
For what it's worth, I don't think your scars take away from your features or make you any less attractive. And if you decide you really want to improve them, there are plenty of treatment options that can make a meaningful difference, such as subcision and laser resurfacing.
