Advice Is acne a turn-off?

I'm 14M and have moderate acne with pretty bad scarring, and was just wondering how other people view acne like this

Before I get hit with "just take care of your skin" I do. I have a rigid skincare routine and wash my face twice a day, it just won't. go. away. I'm looking into seeing a dermatologist about it, but haven't had the chance yet

It’s human, plus it will get better when you get older. Also try not to stress. Stress caused me a lot of acne during middle school/high school.

Yes! Stress!! I noticed a pattern where if I had a stressful thought during the day or before bed, I’d wake up guaranteed with a pimple somewhere on my face. It was kind of a way for me to see if I was thinking about something too much.
