How do I cope with people pointing and staring at my Self Harm scars?

During the period of time when I was quite embarrassed, I would tell everyone that I was a tiger trainer. I got tired of telling that story and just started to say I was a cutter when asked. People staring is their problem, not mine.

You're scars don't define you. You'll always be beautiful as long as you can love yourself. Your past is a mark of how far you have come since then. People have always stared at my scars. I got a meaningful tattoo on my arm to go with them so when people ask I am not ashamed of who o am or was.

It can make you feel very self conscious but these scars show you've been through hell and back and survived! I always think if people see them and judge it's because they do not understand the pain I felt to make the cuts on my body. And their lack of understanding shows they have never felt such pain, a pain that I would not wish on anybody.

First of all embrace them. You be gone through the hard times and now here's to looking forward. You've gone through the hard bit. Your a beautiful person and then scars you have have proved to yourself that you can do all this. Your a strong and beautiful person and everyone can see that

Not many people have seen my scars due to where i put them but few have. Most just ask but some do tend to be offended. My way of dealing with this sort of situation is simply explaining that i went through a lot throughout my life and its my skin. I rather do something to myself than others around me. With those who make fun, i just ignore them because i know that they arent worth my time. Sometimes its harder to ignore and i may act a bit childish and say a few words that arent the best but i always apologize and state that they made me feel bad
