Thanks @The_little_didgee I think it was more a feeling of being vulnerable that set off the trigger. Usually I am covered up and my scars are concealed. So when someone sees them, or heaven forbid, comments on them, it's like this vulnerable part of me takes over and then I feel bad. I also struggle with feeling like I could somehow contaminate the other person--which I've been told is a delusion of mine--just by them being exposed to my scars.
