Should I hide my scars?

...See more Hi there! 29/f here, I stopped cutting 2 years ago, I made myself a promise. However, the scars are still clearly visible, since i did a deep wound once, and as i realised the amount of blood, i panicked, grabbed a needle and sew it with shaking hands. (i was in a terrible state at the time). It got infected too, but i was too afraid to show it to a doctor. Since that, it healed, but since i made a poor job with that + i have other scars next to that, i think people judge me bc of it. i dont know, if i should hide them. Covering them feels like lying, but showing them makes me stressed around people. These are mostly on my wrist. Any toughts?
