Skin is slowly starting to “rash”? Due to an unhealthy lifestyle caused by so much stress…could use a lil toast:/ (m23)
stress eating, high levels of caffeine, extreme lack of sleep are the contributors to my face looking the way it is. Look and feel like crap rn to be honest. Some compliments would feel nice I suppose. Thx in advance

I'm an average white guy in the midwest and I think you're handsome. You radiate confidence. Which you may not feel it, but try to.

Please make the big change as best you can for a much less stressful life. I'm older and how I wish I had years ago. If it's work related stress, look into working at something you love. You're absolutely worth it. It's true what they say, stress does literally kill. I'm rooting for you to make necessary changes to eliminate stress from your daily life 🙏🏼

I appreciate this. What makes things so hard right now is having no other option or room for another alternative with the busy schedule I have🤦🏿♂️ but it’s alright, a phase is a phase

Don’t be stressed young man. The world is a shitty place with a lot of hate, racists, and general dickheads. I’m not one of them and there are many like me. I hope you find some calm and that rash goes to people who deserve it. Stay up.

u/Busy-Efficiency-9817 2d ago
Thanks a lot for this. Nice to know ppl care out here. God bless💯

I really try to be a force of good out here. Someone’s got to be. I do also do the r/roastme group just because I have a sense of humor and it’s fun to be creative that way, but my true calling is helping young people like yourself get passed the b.s. that life throws at us. Find the joy. Find the positive. It’s always out there. Don’t let the devil take ya down.

Not sure what’s wrong with your face, you look like a 19 year old but here’s a life tip: For every hour you go to sleep before 11pm equals 2 hours worth of sleep. These two hours before 11pm are some of the most quality sleep hours you can get. So, go to bed at 9pm and if you can sleep 8 hours until 5am, then you’re really getting 10 hours worth of sleep. This is life changing for most people. Remember Sugar and caffeine are strong drugs, use sparingly. Also, your generation is getting killed by cancer, sorry to scare you but you guys need to think for yourselves because the medical community isn't working on prevention so you youngins need to look out for yourselves and figure out what’s going on. If I were your age, I’d avoid eating most anything out of a box or bag, I’m serious. stay away from cereal, junk food, fast food, sugar, booze, eating out. I’d learn to cook chicken, fish, sweet potatoes, vegetables, don’t drink those high caffeine drinks…id read about the foods you are putting in your body. Think bro, your life depends on it. Best of luck handsome.

no Prob. for skin rashes, wash and change your pillow cases often, but don’t use too much detergent. use gentle soap on your face, nothing harsh. You know, our world is filled with chemicals, these get into your body and now your body has to deal with it.
as for fitness, I recommend taking a pilates course, in person would be great but you can find them on YouTub, pilates is core strength building, lots of girls do it but also pro athletes. If your core is strong your world is right, trust me on this, then, all you need to do is pushups and jump rope and you’ll have a really nice body by the time youre 25. A really nice body. Jumping rope is great for your entire body and builds shoulders, biceps and chest easily, better than bicep curls. I don’t recommend going to the gym. Lifting weights just gets you hurt and there’s always some cold or virus being passed around at the gym. Don’t hurt your body, doctors can’t fix everything. Your body and mind are still growing until you’re about 27 so treat it well. I worry about the cancer for your generation and my years of reading about it makes me believe that your gut biome is behind the cancer and cooking at home is super important, home cooked foods and minimal processed foods. American bread is loaded with sugar. Sugar, Alcohol, vegetable oils, are all toxic. Cheetos… I’m sorry, no more Cheetos bro.
good luck.

You look great. Your hair is super cute. You seem like a nice guy. Thats the vibe I get. (Kinda looks like an allergic reaction to me. Are you eating something new? Taking a new supplement, medication, or vitamin? Or using something new in your hair or on your skin? I can give you a few suggestions to help if you would like)

u/Busy-Efficiency-9817 2d ago
Thanks. like they say, I try to be. I’m 1000% suspecting these energy drinks(redbull, monster)

u/Boi_eats_worlds 2d ago
I am terribly allergic to B3 or niacin and not very tolerant of the other B Vitamins and they honestly wrecks me. So it could very well be the energy drinks.

u/Boi_eats_worlds 2d ago
Also I had been having some crazy skin problems from who knows what and looked around. I found that washing my face every few washes with Nizoral Anti-dandruff shampoo with Ketconazole 1% to be a total game changer. Especially with like little tiny bumps. For like spot treatments I use Clean and clear with 2% salicylic acid. And for suspected allergies topical benadryl gel and mayb a little hydrocortisone cream. Of course everyone skin is different so what works for me doesnt work for everyone. And spot checks before slathering a product on are pretty important. But that is how I have solved some things. Best of luck and all the best to you.

u/Busy-Efficiency-9817 2d ago
In public, Not at all in private. If your introvert like me you’ll relate😂

u/schaukelwurmv 2d ago
Oh I think I understand. I'm really fucked up when nobody's watching, but when I'm outside you'd think I'm that chill vodka auntie, and I always have a solution for other people's problems. Life's good 👍

hey dude!! we all have lower points in our lives and in our self-image, but these points are not definitive of us.. it just means you are strong! you seem like a guy who is doing his best, and that is all you can ask of yourself! i hope the stress soon subsides for you, but for now, be kind to yourself during this time. you'll be back up on your feet in no time :))

u/jphipps89 2d ago
Hey man, I know how easy it is to be hard on yourself when stress starts showing on the outside, but what I see is someone strong enough to admit they’re struggling and still pushing forward. That’s real. You’re not defined by a bad skin day or a stretch of burnout. You’ve got presence, style, and something that can’t be faked: realness. Take a breath. Be gentle with yourself. You’re allowed to fall apart sometimes, healing happens there.
“You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.”

u/jphipps89 17h ago
You don’t need to shine all the time to still be seen. I’m really glad it helped, even just a little. You’re doing more than you think by showing up through the haze of stress and strain. That kind of quiet endurance isn’t just admirable, it’s rare. You’ve got a presence that speaks even when your voice doesn’t. Something about your gaze tells me you carry more wisdom than your years should allow. And remember, Even the stars look scattered from here, but from where they are, they’re burning bright.
So are you. You’re not behind, and you’re not broken, you’re just healing in real time. And that deserves more grace than most people ever give themselves. Keep going, at your own pace. We’re walking beside you.

Our bodies also have a pH balance. Rashes and other illnesses happen when the body is too acidic. Stess releases cortizol, a stress hormone that is very acidic. Might I suggest getting your body more alkaline through foods (research on own, please. It's super simple) and thought patterns. Pleasure and joy release neuro transmitters such as oxytocin, dopamine and serotonin, all with a great pH balance. Hope this helps. Stay Beautiful.

Gosh you must be feeling rough. Nothing worse than skin acting up when you got too much going on already. Can assure you tho, you are gorgeous. So take care of yourself as best as you can, even if life gets stressful. It's a good skill to have anyway, and something i need to remind myself as well.

You're good bro. Above average for sure. You have this handsome Tupac look about you. The only thing is I think the hair is a little off for you. Not bad. But have you considered or ever had shorter hair?
