SH Scars
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?
People won't notice them nearly as much as you think they will / as much as you notice them. And they will fade over time. And most people have the decency to not mention them even if they notice it. Don't worry too much!
