I just don't see the point for me of trying to hide them, like the ones on my neck... Like what do I do, wear a scarf all the time. I think with mine people would know they are self harm. I'm just clueless about the real world I guess because apart from my family, people who I am friends with completely understand self harm and so I think when I am around people who haven't suffered with MH and self harmed or know someone who has I forget that it isn't actually 'normal' for them.
It's strange and sad how everyday self harming and the scars that come with it are in hospital.
If I see someone staring in college do I approach them? I feel like I shouldn't have to explain myself but then I am all for talking about these so called taboo topics to help erase the stigma surrounding them. As you can maybe tell, I'm conflicted. I guess I don't want to seem like I am flaunting them because I 100% am not self harm is not a good thing, even though I used to a lot I still think it is upsetting that anyone should want to hurt themselves, no matter what form it takes or how 'severe' it is. I guess I am also going off on a sort of rant.
