I hear you. I hide my SI but unfortunately the scars are so widespread some are unable to be hidden. It is definitely not for show; it IS to feel alive, and to feel the physical pain of what is inside. Sometimes it would be nice to allow someone else to acknowledge the pain you are in, but that would mean opening up your most vulnerable thoughts, feelings and emotions and that is scary and something you can only do when YOU are ready and strong enough to face it. Until then we can only wish for someone to see how much we need that acknowledgement that we are not doing great and that we are hurting and that we would like someone to care without having to explain why
TAKE CARE.
