Thank you for this.
Because it was something i was pulled up on, i don't consider self harm to be a good thing or normal or ok, but if i have scars or cuts i don't let it affect what i wear. (I mean no way am i walking around in hot pants in this ****ing weather).
But some people do & i think that just contradicts their argument, if it's normal & okay why are you covering up? I don't understand.
Which then leads on to the attention seeker argument.
