I'm trying to stop self harming (not very successfully) so my opinion may well change if/when in future I'm self harm free.
My scars are extensive and all over my body, but I kind of don't notice them or see them as obviously as other people do. I guess I'm just used to them, but I also think its because I've seen the wounds at their worst and scarring is a lot better in comparison.
When people ask me I normally just say quite openly that its self harm. I'm not good at lying and most people just end up sympathetic or curious, rather than hostile or judgemental.
