People may run away from your scars because they don't quite understand. They don't know the feeling when someone gets to hate themselfs that much to want to feel something so they self harm. So they don't understand.

Hey :) first of all, I'm sorry you have to experience this kind of situations, some people are afraid of what they don't understand, some people don't like to think outside the box and it's okay. It's just that they have another way of thinking. They shouldn't be mean though but we know how people can be sometimes. My advice for you is to stay strong and try to live life to the fullest, the journey at the end will be amazing, just hold on and don't let anyone make you feel worthless or miserable, you are amazing!! I'm very proud of you for trying to seek help in things that you might not understand, that's why this community exists. Please feel free to reach anyone on this community if you'd like to talk.

Some people just don't understand how to deal with people who have scars, so they try to tend to avoid it so they don't run across any sensitive topics- like, they don't want to purposefully hurt your feelings if they say something that you might not like.

They just are not used to it. Give it time and they could be nicer. Anything is possible if you have the patience to wait for it to happen.

Certain people do not understand the concept of depression along with physical and mental scars. So when they see it they assume certain unpleasant things about you because they honestly do not know how to react to it. So you have to find a certain way to first make them comfortable about it. And explain it to them like you are explaining a 6-yr old. Its funny but it really works :)

People will run from problems they don't want to get into. It seems like they don't want to get tangled up into something they don't know about, perhaps.
