im talking about people who dont have the same problem. i wish i wasnt ashamed enough to cover them up, but i also wish other people couldnt see them at all. im afraid of making someone feel uncomfortable or of getting judged for it. i just wish it wasnt a taboo or whatever the fuck.
some weeks ago i saw scars on my friend's arm and i genuinely felt my stomach sink, when i came back home i kept thinking about it and i felt so sorry for her.
is this how my other friends might react if they saw my scars? i dont want to make them worry. i would tell some of my closer friends because i trust them enough, im just afraid of the word spreading around, they're big gossippers. but they wouldnt share my secrets like that, i think.
either way, im going to keep hiding. im too afraid of how my friends might act and react.
let me know what you think about this, and if im worrying too much.

as someone who works in kitchen with knifes and fire and other dangerous stuff id say that it only matters at the moment the injury occurs. i would only be concerned when the scar is very recent or is in an unusual place

as someone with no self harm scars I genuinely dont care. it does make you go 🤨 at first but after a sec you forget about it. I dont remember ever being uncomfortable or judging people for it.
