It can be very hard. Facing prosecution in your own skin can be heartbreaking. You shouldn't think of what people say. Be yourself and if people can't accept that then they don't deserve you. Just be you and that's all you can do.

It can be hard to tell how others around you will react in this situation. Reactions can depend on different people. This also depends on how you feel with yourself. Showing others your scars can be a very big step personally. And it is great that you feel you are at this point.

Showing self harm scars in public can be quite fear inducing, though it's nothing to be ashamed of! You might get people that will look at you funny, though there's plenty of people out there that will support you through it or maybe respect you for being so brave about them.

I have no clue because I have never had scars however I have a friend who has and I've asked you this question before. She told me it's always a bit uncomfortable but you just have to be confident in your past. She says you have to learn Hound Point your scars are at that they're a part of you.
