I haven't had the exact same, but someone I know once went to me
"oh your not one of those self harmers are you?"
after seeing a scratch.
Obviously I said no and passed it off as accidental, but it shook me.
Just because it was so obviously judgemental and he hadn't considered the reasons behind it.
But to be honest I think it does shock a lot of people, just because it seems such an illogical thing to do for the majority of people.
I think if she knew you were doing it she would be more understanding.
