Hey. No I think it's easy to forget. I don't have many scars on show except one on my arm that I just don't really think about too much any more. But I have had a few people call me out on it and I'm usually taken aback and panic waffle some sort of made up story that I hope sounds plausible.
I don't think it's a weird cognitive distortion at all. I think it's good that you've accepted your scars. People shouldn't be giving you that sort of reaction though. In my opinion that's crossing the pure curiosity boundary and jumping into blatant rudeness.
