So i got this sweet tat on my wrist. I love it and was all excited to get it in such a visible spot but now it is attracting attention to my scars on my arm. At least to me they stick out, Im not so sure with other people if they see and know what im like or what i've done. Ever wonder what people are thinking when they see your scars?
i think mine are soo visible and obvious and thats the first thing anybody sees but i guess you can never be sure..lol the worst is nobody ever wants to say anything either, if they do notice they just stare and its like..really...?? haha
so yeah i always wanna know what people are thinkin when they see my arms
as a non-cutter, when i see scars that i believe to be intentional i immediatly wonder why someone would cut themselves in areas that can easily be seen. the next thing i do is think to myself this person hurts a lot and i wish to myself that i could give them a hug.
maybe next time i see it (a rare sighting) i will offer one.
take care of yourself!!!!
When i do see them, i tend to say something about it, offer a hug or a smile. Usually the person isn't annoyed bu that. But if it's an overly crouded place, it's mostlikely best to not say anything.
