Ok, so, I'm a just turned 18 yrs old boy from India. Currently studying for a competetive college entrance exam. Which is a major reason for my stress rn due to long hours of studying(12 hrs per day) and living alone away from parents. Got vitiligo at age of around 6-7 yrs and slowly turned into psoriasis patient. Growing up people saw me differently, so suffered from lack of friends(still) and support system and wasn't able to share my stuff to anyone. Got bullied a lot. Suffered from depression and anxiety, but fought it by myself (proud).
As for hobbies, I play a lot of sports Table Tennis, Football. I play Piano.
As for making myself laugh, I watch youtube, specifically Sidemen as they are a group of really good friends(which I lack) and do some random crazy stuff.

And thank you so much for your kind words, noone in my entire life comforted me this much with their words ❤️.

Even thought of suicide at one point of time. Thinking that I got no life ahead as I might have lead this constricted life all my life , no beaches, no swimmingpools, wearing full sleeves all the time, finding no love, getting bullied all the time, people looking at you as an extraterrestrial being.

I've been called a lot of stuff in school like a cow, an acid attack victim, mixed race 😆, etc. Earlier in 5th to 8th class I used feel so bad, I wasn't even able share it with my parents or anyone else and I cry alone all the time. But slowly I got stronger and now I just laugh it off like it's nothing.
