How could you still want me?This is a question I ask myself all the time.
Whilst I know that it is important to love yourself, I also want to be loved by others. I so desperately want to find someone who loves me and wants to spend the rest of their life with me, and me with them.
Appearances are not everything, but the idea of being intimate with somebody really scares me. What on earth would they think when they saw the scars all over my body?!
As I have been told by many people many times, somebody that loves you for who you are will not be phased by your scars and although I completely believe this, it doesn't stop me being afraid of what people might think of my scars.
Your scars do not define you, but they are a part of you that need to be accepted. The right person will understand that.
I would not start from the assumption that all people can be scared by your scars
ReplyDeleteNot an assumption, just a fear.
ReplyDeleteIt may happen, it's true . . . I consider my scars part of my life and what I'm, no matter what others think about. Maybe for me it's different because I was always indeferente to judgement from other people
ReplyDeleteI agree. My scars are very much a part of me, and represent a lot of what I have experienced in my life but was unable to verbalise.
ReplyDeleteIt does matter to me what people think, yes, but I am also learning that people are less judging of self-harm scars than I once thought.
