I'm not sure where I should put this issues 'coz I'm new here en still confused. So if I write this in the wrong thread, I'm really sorry. en please move it away.

Anyway, yesterday I just found out that there's so many other people in this world who experienced what I've been going through, that is life with KP.

All this time I always thought I'm the only en so ashamed about my condition. I thought it was because I'm not hygienic enough that I own this kind of skin.

Because of this, I don't have the gut to build any relationship with anyone, so scared that if they found out about my condition, they will, not only leave me but also laugh at me.

I'm now at the point where, I probably will spent the rest of my life thought, when I discovered that this disease is actually can't be cure. Because I always said to myself that I won't get involve with anyone unless I had cured my skin disease.

I wondered, if other people who have been living with KP is experienced what I experienced.

If you do in a relationship, how's your partner reaction knowing
that you have KP, how they accept it en in what way did you let them know for the first time.

Please share the experience with me so I can use it as a guide.

kp effects my life, i havent been in a relationship for 4 years because of my kp.

really, so I guess it happen to some of us that KP somehow stop us from building a relationship with other people.

Hi, I have been wondering the same thing. I have limited experience with long term relationships, but am about to start a physical relationship with someone and I'm scared about what his reaction will be.
Because of my KP, I have a hard time shaving my leg, so that's something extra that I worry about. I'm just going to honest about it, but I don't want to be rejected.

sorry you've only got negative feed back here.

yea, I'm kind of expecting other people who have kp en doing well in their relationship could share their experience in romance here in this thread. So by reading their experience, it somehow could encourage me en other people with kp, to think more positive in building relationship. But so far none of them come here en share their experience yet.

I really don't know what to say to your problem, coz honestly I have a very low self esteem in building realtionship because of my kp.

But I have red some of other thread with almost the similar issues, it's on the men's issues.
you can check it there en see what they say there, here's the link to the thread

What do i do *Sighs*


You know, honestly, I used to feel ashamed with my kp, before I knew what it's all about, en I made a promise to myself that I won't build any relationship unless I have cure my kp.
But lately, I beginning to think that eventhough I still have kp, it won't stop me from making a relationship with a man. But I also plan, that before we went too far I'm gonna tell him that I have a kp en then ask him to read many article about kp en probably ask him to read this forum also. Then maybe by reading what kp is all about en how hard it can be cured, he will understand en accept me for everything I am en the illness that I have.
En if he can't accept me en my kp, then I guess he's just not good enough for me. I'm sure that there are other man who could accept en understand my condition.

But that's only what I thought. Whether you're gonna tell him about your kp or not, I think you are the only one who could decide what is best for you.

All I can say is Good luck en may the best happen to you

thanks!

I have kp and I hooked up w. this one hott guy... and i realized that he had it too! On his upper arms and cheeks! So ha! Also, alot of people have thoes little bumpies on their arms in my school. I get a lot of people say "Hey! I have that too"

You are so lucky that you have so many people around you with that kind of bump. So people see other people with bump is something usual.

Anyway, I just told a guy that ask me out, that I have kp n ask him to search on the internet about kp n then i told him that we`ll talk again after he`s done with read it. Not sure how he's gonna react, but whatever that is I don't regret for telling him the truth

how bad is ur KP???....there are sooo many people out there with it aswell, so dont worry too much some people will take it a lot better than you think...im glad you told that guy though, instead of worrying about when to tell him or if he's gonna find out...let us know what he says though =P

Today I met him en he told me that he really don't care about the `sickness` that I have no matter what it is or how bad it is.

So I asked him whether he already search the internet about kp or not. En he said that he don't have to.

But today I insist him to search the internet about kp n mostly I asked him to see all the picture.

He hasn't text me since then.

But there is some nice people who could accept us en our kp right?

I am not trying to sound offensive or anything, but you guys treat Kp as if it were leprosy or ebola or something really serious! People will NOT dislike you or think of you differently because of your skin. Dont people w. bad acne have social lives? Go on dates? Yes they do, and acne looks far worse than kp. KP isnt too visible unless you scratch/pick at it. So stop hiding and live your lives!

If people judge you because of your kp then something is wrong w. THEM not you!

Thank you so much for your words, somehow it makes me feel much better.
Maybe you are right, we take this kp too much of a big deal. I guess you are right, if someone reject us because of our kp then something is wrong with them en they have shallow mind, then they're not good enough for us.

Thank you so much, your words has make me feel better about myself

Anytime hun!

It effects my love life as well. I have this rule that I have to break up with the guy within a month, so that we don't get too close. And yes it is because of my KP and a million other disorders(3 others to be exact lol).
But seriously the key to happiness is confidence.
My aunt has KP on her legs just like me but she has all the confidence in the world. And because of that people look way beyond her KP and look within her great personality (trust me she attracts a lot of men lol).

Having KP is a very large obstacle in life. But what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger.

Well what I am trying to say here is to build up your self-esteem and your love life will greatly improve.
I know you're thinking to yourself "well how am I supposed to build up my self-esteem?"
First thing is to not worry what others perspective towards your appearance is.
Once you get past that you will have more and more confidence! Then you won't be able to get the men(or females) off you! lol
Well best wishes
