I derive too much pleasure from popping my zits in front of the mirror in the morning. Or the afternoon. Or the evening.

Am I just gross, or do other people share this habit?

Popping zits too much is one of those things that leads to scarring once you no longer have acne I think...don't quote me on that.

Then again, you're right, sometimes it's just too hard to resist.

^Well, yes, I know it leads to scarring. But I don't believe that I will ever arrive at this magical time when I will "no longer have acne"-- I've had it since third grade, and I'm a junior now. I think it's here to stay. It sucks.

What's worse, I sometimes have the desire to pop other people's zits...

like, they'll have this big, white-headed, pulsating pustule on the end of their nose, and the desire to just reach up with both hands and smush it is too much.

Yep. It's extremely weird how satisfying it is seeing that off-white substance fly out of your face and onto your mirror. I always feel accomplished if it has a lot of gunk in it that flys out.

ugh sick
i seriously hate pimples
the sick part isn't really popping them though... because i guess everyone does that
but why do they have to exist anyway?!?

I've never seen someone in their 40s with acne, I believe it has to go away sometime.

You know, if Freud were a Tangster, he would leave a comment relating the satisfaction of squeezing pus out of a pimple to the pleasure attained through male mastrubation.

Good thing Freud's not a Tangster, huh?

^ Maybe he's not, but it looks like we've got a mini-Freud in the house of Tangst.

^^ After taking a Psych class I did that for months, -everything- was phallic. You get over it eventually.
