“Where it really impacted me was how self-conscious I became about it" she continued.

"It completely ruined my self-esteem.

"I wouldn’t even look at people when I talked to them.

“I felt like such an outcast; when I spoke, it was with my hand covering my face.



"Sure, I had crushes in high school, but I wouldn’t even think about looking at guys.”
