I started taking my jacket off after coming back to work after the pandemic and having my own room in the office.

Recently, I got a new roommate who noticed and asked about my arm, and I just told the truth that I used to cut myself. It's ironic because just a few weeks ago I was feeling distressed about not being able to talk about it with anyone, and just like that, I was able to talk about it with this person I just met, though under the premise that I don't do anymore, which is kind of true.

I do wonder how obvious it is, since most people don't seem to notice, including my family. Of course there could also be the factor of choosing not to see, or feeling that it's awkward to comment on or ask about.

I was just wondering if anyone else is like me and stopped caring about hiding it. Or if anyone saw something like that with someone else and how it made you feel.
