Very well written mate.
A few years ago I used to attend college on my way in a little kid of about 3 or 4 looked up at me and pointed and said "mummy whats wrong with that man's face?" At the time i had a huge patch of P under my left eye, it was just under my eye to just under my nose and about as wide.
His Mother looked mortified and just said, "Stop pointing at the man darling" grabbed him by the hand and literally dragged him away, which was cool because I was running late anyway.
A couple of days later in college it had been raining and my face was wet and the patch showed up even more than usual, my lecturer looked at me joking around and said "who the hell you been fighting?" I was like no one, its something else, he looked like he wanted the earth to open and for him to fall through it, he was so embarrassed the poor sod.
For my part after being dumped by a gf after a flare up, and being told every excuse in the book and then some as to why someone would refuse to date me, i gave up. Resigned myself to the fact I would probably be alone until my time ends on this planet. I had a bit of a cry I will admit, but I'm ok with that I've met a couple of good women, whom I'm really good friends with, hell almost married one of them. But in the end its always in the back of my mind. But I've accepted it and moved on.
If i get lucky for me it'll be like I've won the lottery 15 times over. If not well its how life is. You make the most of the hand you were dealt with. If I find someone that would be awesome to, but far to many people look on the outside and not what someone is truly like and look beyond what they can see.
If someone asks me what its like, I just say imagine being in a room full of people and feeling alone.
I often joke with my mum that I must have been some evil guy in a previous life to be punished like this in this one.
