Several years ago , Annalisa revealed to online magazine Beardspo.com that , as a child , she had been incredibly confused about why people felt she should be ashamed of her facial hair - but admitted that , as time went on , their cruel comments and jibes left her feeling terrible about herself . ' I didn ’ t see why it mattered that I had darker hair on my face , ' she explained . 'At the time it was still peach fuzz looking . After being hounded about it , I became self conscious . My mother decided I needed laser hair removal which ultimately didn ’ t work and began shaving my face to look `` normal '' . ' She added : 'About three years ago , I was at the point of shaving my beard twice a day ... It was a never ending battle . I formed agoraphobia ( unable to leave my house ) and would feel anxiety trying to plan outings or go anywhere . When I did leave the house after much stress , crying and worry I found the anxiety wouldn ’ t calm down . 'Thankfully my husband helped to get me out of my haze and demanded something be done as it was ruining our life together . ' Overcoming illness : The California resident has suffered from PCOS , which causes increased hair growth , since the age of 13 .

' I 've liked girls a whole lot , but I do n't think I 've ever been in love , ' he explains in a clip from the episode . Growing up , he would get teased a lot because of his condition .

' 'The couple of girlfriends I had in high school did n't start dating me because I was a black albino , ' he says , before adding : ' I do n't really flirt with girls because I do n't know if I am flirting or they just think that I got crazy eyes .
