I agree with Blue Star, if the person care about you than the SH won't matter. I think if I found out someone I cared about self-harmed, I would just want to know that they were getting help for it, because I would worry about them. But it wouldn't make me run away from them. Your past and pain is part of what makes you who you are--nobody's perfect, we all have our problems. I understand your fear though--I had a friend who freaked out when she found out about my SH and mental health issues, and our relationship was never the same after that. It hurt, but hiding it from her wouldn't have worked. I hope this guy won't be like that, but if he is that means maybe he's too scared or immature or shallow--it's his issue, not yours!
