Is it normal for me to like my scars?

Yes, but no. Yes, because Scars are the proof of what we've been thought and that we ARE strong. And No, because they shouldn't be there, but as long as you don't keep making them you must learn to love them and keep them as a reminder of what you have (I hope) left behind

Of course. It's your body and you should love it! Embrace your scars, embrace your past, and keep moving forward.

It is pretty normal for people who self harm to get attached to their scars. But that doesn't mean that they are a good thing

Of course it is!! We should learn to embrace them, it shows an experience of when you fought through something, whatever it may be. It shows that you are a survivor and because of that you have become a better person. You can also use them to help others, it may make people with scars feel more comfortable with them, and learn to embrace them themselves. We should love them! They tell an amazing story that is worth reading. They are all also unique, everybody's looks different and that is something to be proud of, it's amazing that you love them!! You are an amazing role-model.

I like my scars because they remind me of what I have overcome! Its not easy to defeat depression and the fact that I only have scars and not fresh wounds give me pride.

They're a part of you, they show you where you've been and what you've overcome. What would be different if you didn't like them?

Yes, I believe it is. Because they are a part of you and they tell your own story. They are unique. So I think it's completely normal to like your own scars. #staystrong♡

I used to like my scars but only to remake them. I went through a stage of hating the thought and look of them but have recently turned to liking them and thinking of them as battle scars. I faught my battle and am still here today to continue fighting.

Normal? I think it is amazing for you to like your scars. Accepting them as part of who you are, scars represent your experiences and never have to be ugly or shameful. They, as you wonderfully believe, can be absolutely beautiful and be signs of your bravery, for whatever the event that gave you the scars may be, it remains a sign of your courage, because that courage is needed to brave through such events, a true warrior. P.S I probably sound like some sort of melodramatic warrior of a fantasy novel, but I belive every single word that I have typed here, and wish everyone to believe my words too.

Oh my gosh I am so proud of you! It is important to love you for who you are and your scars are part of what makes you who you are. They tell a story and are quick reminder that you overcame whatever caused them! It makes me really happy that you like them (and learned to accept them if this applies) because for some, that it is a very hard process. There is a lot of stigma these days about scars and how "ugly" they are but don't listen to them and keep doing you! And technically, no because scars are "ugly" and society doesn't like "ugly" things BUT it should be more normalized for sure.
