Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.

This makes a lot of sense, you wash away your natural skin oils which drys it outTry not washing your face, ever. I was complaining about my skin one day to a girl I was dating said 'that's because you wash your face all the time', so I figured I'd try just stopping and see what happens. Run hot water on your face in the shower, no touching or scrubbing. Do not touch your face ever, no scrubbing, no rubbing, no soap, no products or chemicals whatsoever. Helped a ton for me.
Later on I started taking a fruits/vegetable supplement called Balance of Nature and my skin tone has improved since then and the occasional cystic acne I've had has completely disappeared. I was able to stop taking antibiotics I had been taking daily for 2 years.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
