I try to hide my scars as much as I can. I get nervous if someone sees one and think they might ask me how that happened. I always make up something. I still pretty much try to hide them though but I don't wear long sleeves and long pants all the time. I just try not to get too close to someone and turn my arms a certain way so they can't see them. Going to the doctor is very nerve racking because doctors will sometimes ask me and I have told them the truth on occasion, and made something up most of the time.
I should maybe try to see them as battles with myself, won or not won, who knows.
