ok my opinion ,, self harm scars are nothing to be jealous of ,,, and OMF god artwork !!! WTF is that about . i have a shit load of scars all over my body and the reaction i have always had is of sheer disgust .. me my opinion is im not proud of them but they are me and who i am and who the person they have made me ... and that is the strong biatch that hates me but loves my kids BUT THE ONE THAT NEVER TOPPED MYSELF ,, im sorry if thats harsh xxx

sometimes i think my scars are beautiful but i certainly wouldn't wish they were any more obvious or bigger, etc. they are what they are. it's me...i wouldn't compare them to anybody else's...let alone put them on display for the whole world wide web to see. my scars are not art and the act of SI'ing is a struggle...not art time. =/

I always found other peoples scars triggering. Like they were somehow "better" at being addicted to SI than me and I need to make MINE look bad or WORSE than theirs.

I try my best to steer clear.

This disgusts me. I have struggled with self-harm since I was a young child, and it is not something to proud of or jealous of.
These girls are why such social stigmas are out there against people who SI, they parade it around and look for the attention instead of looking for the help they so badly need.
i don't consider it art, nor will i ever consider it art.

When I am really depressed I feel something like jealous of other peoples scars - I start thinking - "look thats what you deserve! I start belittling myself because I am to much of a "coward" to hurt myself like what needs to be done. Its not jealousy like your talking about.

as much as i hate seeing my scars, i also see each one as me surviving a particular difficult part of my life. when i see scars and cuts worse than mine, i sometimes feel like i want to cut again becuse i miss self harming, or because i feel like i deserve to be cut. i understand when people see it as an art, i sometimes cut words and pictures into my body, more for significant purposes than artistic purposes, but whats the difference? people cut for different reasons, often the ones who say they want thiers to be worse are the ones doing it for attention, they would never cut that badly because they dont truly feel the need maybe. but i have known poeple to get jealous over my scars, its common, though worrying also :/

i hate scars. for me they are just a bad reminder of how i felt and what i did

this makes me have pitty on them to be honest... i have scars that im not proud of and actually use creams to keep the healing process faster, so i just dont understand what goes through ones brain to feel a sense of jealousy for a rather...nonpleasent thing..ugh pitty pitty.

I usually make more cuts, but not deep when I cut because I am really scared of cutting too deep and my parents finding out, so my scars fade pretty well, I just have pink lines, and one major scar.

That said though, I really like my scars. It's my biggest temptation when I am trying not to cut, is that I want more scars.

im not proud of what ive done to myself anymore. I used to truly believe that it was the only way to help stop the feelings i had. I had no self worth so it was okay to cut. I am still ashamed of my scars and keep them covered most of the time. always long sleeves. I didn't see the problem with cutting until i started to like myself. Art is not defined and can be anything the artist believes art to be. I was never jealous of other peoples scars they are triggering and usually lead me to believe that it okay to use it as a way to handle feelings or situations.
