You don't need to be ashamed of your scars - so many people are uncomfortable with supposed 'blemishes' in their appearance that if you're comfortable with your scars I think it's great. And you're right that most people don't notice or don't bother to remember seeing other people, let alone scars on them.
My mum's like yours though; always guilt tripping me about my SI and the scars it leaves and how everyone thinks she's a bad mother when they see my arms.
