I have really horrible self-harm scars all up my left arm, most are risen and purple. Some are on my thighs, and minimal ones on my right forearm. Some on my shoulders too. I absolutely hate them, I can't wear bikinis, shirts or a nice dress, I won't even be able to go to prom because of my scars. I have a slim body but can't show it because of my scars. Everything I wear is long sleeved and long-legged which doesn't suit me because I'm quite thin. Everyone who sees them, for example health professions treat me like I'm alien or like I'm nuts and suddenly force therapy down my throat. I just want to be normal but it's like my scars have set me on this road for life, I'll probably never get a boyfriend or live normally because of my disgusting scars. I don't want people to know because they will make people uncomfortable. My mum knows, but she's has no consideration. I skipped going on holiday because the whole time I'd have to hide my scars, even while swimming and sunbathing. She doesn't really care. And I'm in love with someone but haven't done anything about it because I don't want to get close then they end up finding out about my scars and self harm. I feel like cause I've self harmed and sometimes do that I'm shackled to a stereotype that I can never live normally again. As if I have to life like a victim. Boys, are scars a turn off? How can I cover them or at least wear my favourite clothes, I've tried makeup but they're purple and kind of reflective?
Don't hurt yourself if you don't want it showing. Lifes to good for self inflicting anyways. U know have to live we these with scars. Put some Neosporin it heals scars. Smoke a lil weed ur be all rite and a real guy won't see who u are outside but how u really are in the side take it easy bro
