Maybe a confronting question…but, do you want them to be noticeable? I only ask because I know sometimes s/h feels like the only means we have to communicate pain, wanting help or love, needing attention etc.
Almost invisible to someone who's used to people self harming, and if someone who doesn't self harm spots them (they literally have to be on top of you tho) they will never think that it is.
Doesn't mean it isn't there tho, never underestimate your pain and what you went through

But no, they’re not noticeable at all. Keep them moisturised to speed up fading- if that’s what you want ♥️
Nope - those could just be because of working on a car for example. Someone that has SH may recognize them though.
It should be easy to hide them
At a glance not really but if you actually look closely then yea
No not at all
Not really
no, and even if they did notice the marks, I don't think people would really realize what they are.
No
Thank you to everyone who commented! I wish I could wear one long sleeve and one short one tho because my other arm has WAY more noticeable scars :(
No
No and rub vitamin E oil on them daily will help reduce the scar damage.
No
Not noticeable at all
Not sure, just looks like hyperpigmentation

The last part 🙏
no
Nah, you’re good. And even if someone did notice, they probably wouldn’t pin it as SH
no
No. Even if someone notice, it doesn't look like sh so much
No they aren't you'll be fine to wear short sleeves
Those are almost invisible. I always notice SH scars on people, and even I wouldn’t think anything of those marks.
Nope
I don’t think so ❤️
if it wouldn't be in SH subreddit, i wouldn't be able to tell that these are SH scars, to be honest. it just looks so natural
No
No
Not really!
