Advice about getting triggered

I'm new here so kind of addressing my addiction slowly but Ive been acutter for 13 years I'm a real quiet person unless the ice is broken but I was wondering dose any one else gets mentally shut down and get triggered when some one asked you about your cuts,bandages or scars if so what do you have any advice about how not to be triggered when asked?..

Hi :)
No one's ever asked me about scars/cuts since hardly anyone's seen them but i find that i mentally shut down even when asked about SH or anything relating to it. I actually find it really irritating not being able to talk about it. And yeah i do find it triggering a lot of the time. Im not really sure how to avoid it since i havent been able to overcome it yet but i suppose the more you try to talk about it the easier it might become. Anyway, since you're new welcome to ryl, feel free to PM me if you wanna talk :)
