Scars on back....

Can I just ask for honset opinions here, do these look bad? I'm really paranoid about them, and I never go topless (so dont go swimming anymore either) as I always think people would just stare at them. The thing is, would you? If you saw someone walking around like this?

In a way i'm dreading uni, as sharing showers and stuff like that might get awkward.... would these also put off any guys/girls, as a sort of bad physical thing?

First shot

Second shot

(and yeah, i know I dont have the most attractive back, iregardles of scars!)

you really have nothing to worry about. i bet most people wouldn't even notice those.
lots of people have scars all over their body, in really weird places. i myself have a nice scar on my forehead, which has been the butt of many a joke in my time (ie, was that from when you had the cock removed from your head?) but yours are really nothing to worry about.
go topless with pride my good man!
Honey, you really have nothing to worry about. But if you're still feeling paranoid, try using "No Marks Cream"...Its an Indian Brand and its available from most Pharmacies and Chemists. It gets rid of scars and blemishes.

:hmmmm:
Ohhhhhhh come on.

I would be terrified if scars were contagious and yours were visible. :p: Seriously, there's practically nothing there. It might seem horrendous to you but if you hadn't said there were scars there, making me look for them, I wouldn't have paid a blind bit of notice to them.

Aww hun - listen, seriously do not worry at all :smile: So many guyus have marks like this on their back!!! They are really not very noticeable at all and don't even look that bad, any girl with her head half screwed on won't care at one bit and probably won't even notice :smile: My boyfriend of 2 years has some marks like this and I still think he's the sexiest most flawless thing I've ever seen :biggrin: And even *I* rarely see those marks? I'm not very often stood behind him when he has his top off hehe, and I don't even notice them any more anyway :smile: And when you're meeting girls you'll be face to face, clothes on anyway! And if they like you enough to take it further, then I'm sure they won't care about those silly little things! :smile:

Umm.. scars are NOTHING to be ashamed of. I have scars.

It's the love handles you need to fix :wink:

I wouldn't even call those marks scars, they are barely even noticeable and who cares if they were? You are obviously quite self-conscious if you are worried about little things like that. I think you have more of an attitude problem as opposed to a physical problem. Stop worrying about what other people think about you all the time and stop being paranoid! If you have confidence then that will over-ride any of the scars you have, although as I said I would barely call any of those marks you have scars.

:eek:! hehe, well thats the objective for this summer

Thanks everyone, especially Amnesia - I guess the paranoia is kind of left over from when they were "fresh" (1 1/2 years ago) and they were really bad, especially when my mum noticed them and kept asking questions about how I got them

Well that's the only thing I would worry about, someone asking if you don't want them to know. I mean, like others have said those scarrs are berely noticable, I wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't looked, but if someone sees and goes, 'ouch, how did you do that' I'd have a cover story preppared if you don't want people to know...

I thought they were somthing to be worried about, really just because of people seeing them, and thinking negative things about me/them

And no, i've never had a girlfriend like that, if you want to know how i got them, think Silas from The Da Vinci code... although my cover story is the mad ex

Yeah don't worry people thinking negative things like that, first thing I saw when I saw them was stretch marks (girls have marks very similar looking to that on thighs, bum, breasts etc) and I'd imagine as guys backs generally broaden as they grow that's where they would have come from.
Second thing I thought, was yeah, I little bit of an animalistic girlfriend!

Silas esq actions didn't even enter my head tbh:smile:

It's not overly pleasant and something that people really should be going into too much detail on, on TSR.
It's sort of a type of self harm..

It's literature, and I would appreciate it if someone told me exaclty what this silvas character did. :smile:
