I am very proud of them and look at them all the time. And I don't mind to let the public see them, but I freak out when anyone verbally mentions about them. Mine are really dark from tanning so much so they stand out a lot and they are very wide and long too. I just cant stop looking or thinking about them sometimes.

I wish i had that kind of confidence. I never show mine and wear as much heavy foundation on my arms and anywhere else visible as i can. I get mad if anyone mentions them. Sometimes my parents make me walk around the house or go out in tank tops to embarrass me. Maybe i wouldnd mind letting people see them if my mom wasnt always making nasty comments and staring at them.

When I'm not actively using SI I don't mind people seeing my scars (except for my parents) but I don't like people mentioning them to me. If I'm actively using SI I don't want anyone to see my newer marks.

I hate my scars! But, I accept that they are part of me and not going anywhere! I have been debating on getting some tats to either cover them up or incorporate them into the tat. To me, they are a constant reminder of the hurt that I felt at the time and sometimes drive me to want to cut again!

I don't hide my scars, when people ask about them I politely tell them it's none of their business, they tend to assume that they are the result of some drunken accident or something like that.
They remind me of my journey though life and some of it's darker places...

I don't mind seeing my self inflicted scars. Quite honestly, a part of me is still proud of them and secretly love it when people notice. I guess that just means that I'm still a very sick person and I still have a ways to go before I'm fully healed.

I love my scars. I think they're beautiful. They remind me that I've survived the pain before and I can do it again.

I hide them because I don't want to go into a detailed conversation about it BUT in my room, alone, they bring me great pleasure. Even more when I see them healing almost invisibly (I peroxide, neosporin and tegaderm them (in vunerable situations). I like that I can "heal myself" so effectively after having felt so raw when I was "in the moment".

Part of the biggest reason I do it is to validate my feelings so being able to physically see the pain I've been through is a big thing for me.

I don't like it when the fade because I still feel pain so in my mind those scars should stay too. At the same time I get excited I don't have to hide them any more.
