So what if they know? And he probably was talking about you, giving you an opportunity to open up to him, I’m guessing he would like to help.
And the reason people believe the stories that we tell them about our scars is they want to believe them, not believing them means THEY have to face the truth, and it scares them. People don’t want to believe that it is possible for a person to be so down that they would intentionally hurt themselves, because it if can happen to us, it could happen to them. That is why there is such a stigma to mental illness, fear, fear that it could happen to them.
Could be you found someone who does care though, and isn’t afraid, might be worth the risk to talk to him, I mean really talk to him.
