It very much depends what you feel comfortable with. For me that varies on a day to day basis. I walk around my house in short sleeves and my housemates know that I SH. I walk around campus in short sleeves. However I currently don't wear short sleeves in lectures as I'm starting a new course and I want to get to know people without my self-harm being an issue. When I'm a bit more comfortable with them (and the weather is a bit warmer!) then I shall probably wear short sleeves, but I don't want people to get to know me with self-harm being a defining factor, I'd rather they got to know me as a person first rather than the girl with the scars
