What will people think if they see my scars?

There are people who would tell you that you're crazy and wouldn't care, others would get angry with you, and some of them would help you .. I have met these three types of person.

Look,We all know the stereotypes,your biggest fear might be that people would automatically assume that you're some attention seeker or need serious help,however in real life I've found that people,while they may judge a little,more often than not would just mind their own business..some occasionally do go like 'wow you must be strong to get through what you did,but that hardly qualifies for admiration...friends might get concerned and wonder why you never told them before..The truth is that it's how you carry yourself in a room full of people whilst you scars are visible is what really matters..It reflects on how you judge yourself..how okay are you with your past or ongoing problems....and people tend to respect that..At least the mature ones..

When people see your scars, there will be a lot of different thoughts. Some people will think about it from a scientific viewpoint and will assume you are depressed. Your family and friends close to you will probably think that they are to blame for not helping you more. Some will be revolted... Some will be proud of you for getting through it... There will be a mixture of thoughts, but I'll be proud along with a large amount of the community, because you won the war

I have had this as well. It can be hard, because there are some cruel people in the world but some people will see it differently.

Shame and guilt are a big part of why people who cut start cutting in the first place. I think it's important to take a step back (It can be hard!) and see the scars from the perspective of someone who has never dealt with the same issues you have. Medical conditions, abuse, and accidents are *all* valid reasons why someone's body might have scars, or even certain patterns of scars. People tend to be curious about things they don't understand, rather than passing judgement. It might feel awkward for you, but it's possible they've never even considered the idea that you hurt yourself. Recognizing this is part of letting go of the guilt and shame, I think. If they're curious enough to ask about it, they're expressing interest in your story. They want to know more about you, and they're telling you that it's safe to share a little bit more. If they look, but don't ask, they're probably not thinking anything worse than you *already* thing. Your past can be part of your story, but it doesn't have to be part of your current burden.

Everyone has differents ways to react to scars, but you don't have to worry about that or explain yourself if you don't want to.

Some people with think of you as a freak or a bad person, and others wild understand how things are hard and become secretly more protective over you.

It really depends on who the person is. Most people will try to help you. Everyone can have a different view on it

Firstly, you don't need to worry about other peoples judgement! You have nothing to be ashamed of, and perhaps some may stare, but most people will be supportive and they are the only people you need in your life :)

Don't worry about what other people will think. Unfortunetely, many people often judge each other for no reason other than feeling better about themselves. Your scars are part of who you are and what you've been through. If some people can't understand that, then they don't deserve your friendship and you shouldn't care about what they think.
