Should I hide my scars?
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?

I'm sorry you went through so much.
Yes, they are a part of you.
But it's something you don't have to share with everyone, only those who truly see and love you.
It's your decision.
No one else's 💕💜
On one hand, I would say uncovered because it's nobody's buisness what's on your skin.
On the other hand, I dont want any further harm to happen to the scars (infection, re-opening, etc.)
In the end, it's all up to you.
Best Wishes <3
