Hey. Does anyone else have self-harm scars that make things a little difficult for them? I try not to do it as much anymore but sometimes I just relapse and it feels like my arms are filling up with scars. I used to like wearing short sleeves but I feel I can't do that anymore because they're going to be visible and people are gonna see and "know" or straight up ask "what's that on your arm?" and it makes me so uncomfortable. Not to mention there's so many trash people that think people SH for attention nowadays. I know I could just use concealer or something to cover it up, but that takes so long and doesn't even give good enough coverage, especially with the raised scars. I've been thinking maybe I could just wear some compression sleeves or something but I feel like that would look ugly and be kind of obvious. Anyone relate or have any advice?
Personally I also have sh scars and when I'm going to visit someone I just wear a bandaid to cover it and wear whatever clothes I want on it and if they ask what it is I just say I got hurt while cooking. reply
