Triggering (SI) - So I was wondering is this weird

xxemolollypopxx · 28-03-2010, 03:13 AM

I have been staring at my SI scars all the time. I will do it in the middle of class or even when I am with my friends. No one knows about them yet so they are starting to wonder what I am looking at.I think I just to look at them most of the time when ever I see someone that I dont like or when I feel sad. It used to be only like once a day, but now i seem to be looking at them all of the time.
Is that normal, or am I just up in weird.

And another qusetion I had was... just becuz I si, or sh does that make me 100% emo ( and for the record I do not look like it and dont want to be it some one who knows about them called me i. I hate that label)

I catch my self doing it all the time. So normal or not, you're not alone.

Oh, that's not weird at all. I am always like examining mine, looking over my shirt sleeves down at them.

Yeah i do that to. Not so anyone can see what i'm looking at. but i dont know. since SH is always on my mind, i guess looking at it is maybe just a part of that?
Its normal for SH's i guess, even if it may not actually be normal, but dont worry about doing that, you arent alone xxx

Your def not alone, I'm looking at mine all the time. Even if 90% of the time they are covered.

I do it all the time in school. A teacher who knows about my si snapped me out of it one time it was akward.... :/

No, that's not weird. I do it too.

And no, you're not emo. God, I hate that word.

I often stare at my scars too so your not the only one. I so detest the emo label, grrr

butterflymom · 29-03-2010, 06:51 PM

i'm always looking at mine when i'm alone and running my fingers over them when i'm not, esp the ones in my wrist and arm underneath my shirt sleeve. maybe it's kind of like a comfort thing??? i dunno...but it must be common.

~Lost Soul~ · 29-03-2010, 07:03 PM

Yeah, I do that all the time too.

CrazyChaoticMess · 29-03-2010, 07:11 PM

I think looking at your scars while others are around is generally a comfort thing more then a weird thing..
