I have never hid my cuts or scars and no one has ever said anything to me about them. For the most part I cut my arms and legs, so those would be "normal" places for ordinary cuts to occur I guess. Reciently I've tried cutting across my chest.

This weekend I went to a dance with a low cut dress, so the cut was clearly visable for the world to see, all bright and red. Guess what? Not a single comment. I've always known that no one has ever cared about me, but I thought this gash would get a comment.

I wonder if all of us can just stop worrying about hiding their cuts because it seems that everyone else is wrapped up in their own world and won't see them anyway.

Your Thoughts?
I used to try to hide my cuts but I found out when I stopped that people tend to ignore it. I don't think it's because they don't care, I think it's because they don't know what to say. They don't really understand. Personally, I'm rather grateful that they ignore it. I don't have to worry about how to dress.
A couple people commented on it, but those were both friends. also young children tend to ask what happened because they don't already know.
