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.

I mean if they couldn't see but if they knew... as long as they were covered up, they couldn't make you show them and fire on that basis right? Not that I should be striving for that, but it's more so just cause I've had recent ones, not that I'm not planning on it, at least right now. But I guess that is the smart thing to do, if you realize it's getting to the point that it's effecting you badly, then you probably should. Do you know if most companies have that policy?
What do you think the worry about you or someone who's like you, who seems perfectly happy, exposing your scars compared to someone who's more usually "negative" seeming would be?
