When you work in certain professions, you also learn very fast not to ask where scars come from, simply because you a) really don't want to know, and b) it could very easily bring back bad memories. I noticed recently that I've become immune to it, and I'm simply not curious how someone got a scar. It's their business: if they want to tell me, they will (like one chap who lost half a thumb in the Antarctic...he'll quite happily show everyone and then tell you in graphic detail! )
Hugs to you for coping with the idiots...I think swear words are perfectly justified when the alternative means you're trying to get the bloodstains out of the carpet for weeks.I speak English, L33t, Sarcasm and basic Idiot.

I hope nobody ever asks me about the cuts and nicks on my arms/legs/hands
Because half the time I have no idea where I got them from! Though with cats, dogs, horses, acres of wild roses, sheet metal, car parts, live poultry, lawn equipment and power tools all over the place around here, I'm never short suspects- They say nothing good happens at 2AM, they're right, I happen at 2AM.

I've got self-harm scars, as well, and no one ever asks me where they came from. I only volunteer to explain the ones that I did accidentally (and the only time I got stitches outside of my dentures was because I was young and stupid, which is a good learning tool for some folks). In my experience, the people who tell me flat-out that they self-harm either aren't fully recovered or have other issues that need resolved as well.
ETA: I don't mean that all self-harmers are like that; I mean the type that are currently active in mutilation or are overenthusiastic about the attention that they receive from talking about it. Sorry if that offends.
I would be very upset if some person in public asked me about my scars. I don't blame you for reacting like that, though my mom would give you heck for calling someone the C-word. I won't tell.Last edited by IamEmancipated; 06-24-2012, 03:06 AM. Reason: because I am not the brightest before bedtime
