Ditto.

In regards to work, I think as long as they are not "recent" there would not be a big deal over it. Besides, people have plenty of issues behind the work scene (i've had a coworker tell me they struggled with anorexia, we've had a few admitted for those "uncontained" psych moments and come back to work perfectly fine, etc.) My job says if you come to them with your problem before it causes a problem at work they will help you get help and keep your job.

I, however, am one of those people who give off the "she has happy little joyful life in her perfect little naive bubble" vibe. So, if they were to see my scars, it probably would become a big deal. But I work in an ER so I wear covering clothes anyway and the time I cut my fingers, the blade was sharp - so no one noticed, and the one that was a little open I just put a bandaid on and nothing was suspected. Depending on the vibe you give off though, i'd be selective about exposing scars to the public eye.
