...See more I wanted to talk about something that happened to me years ago. I told the listener head on, I don't really want advice, I just need to tell someone. But my listener constantly cut me off to assume things about me, blamed me for some decisions I made and it just overall made me feel awful. I think they were young from the way they talked, but please just listen. I don't need your piece of opinion on the story and everything you think i've done wrong. Especially when it's something in the past and I already know what I could've done better. That experience made me feel icky about the entire listener thing even though I know how great this site is.

...See more Hi everyone! Back in November 2017 when i was at my lowest low, I self harmed a lot. Most of my scars of back then have faded, however there is one scar that won't. I cut on another cut which is I believe why it was bigger - now I have a big scar in the middle of my arm and It really brings me down. It has faded a bit since but it is still really visible. I am trying my best to feel better and it is working, I've been getting help, but this scar is the one of the last few things that puts me to the ground when I'm trying to stand up. A lot of people say they are a sign of strenght and that you've survived but I can't agree with that. I don't want these demons engraved on my body forever. I don't want to sound over dramatic, so I don't really say it and pretend it's not here but I know it is. I want to take a new step and a new start and I can't with this on me. What should I do?
