    Hey! That's an interesting question.

    It they say it in a rude way then its rude (obviously). But I honestly think if they ask nicely then I see that as a sign that they care and are giving you the opportunity to talk about it if you want. If you don't want to, then saying something like "I don't want to talk about it" is absolutely fine, and if they persist and keep on asking then they're being rude. In my opinion its best to just be honest, a nice person will understand.
    Also I know that many people are often just uneducated and might simply be curious.

    I personally believe that talking about your scars (or any insecurities) is nothing to be ashamed of, even if at first it can feel really embarrassing. But people should understand that if someone says they're not comfortable talking about something then they should just accept that.

    This however is just my opinion as someone who never had a problem with any scars, I might probably have a different opinion on this if it was something that did affect me more. Anyways.

    Hope you are well. Take care!

    I'd say maybe they weren't trying to be rude maybe as they may have been curious about your scars. I guess it can be normal for people to be curious.

    I can understand how you feel though about being asked about scars especially if you find the topic triggering too. It can be hard talking about a subject that you find triggering even if something asks you a question about it too.

    I personally haven't had any experience with scars or being asked questions about scars, but I think maybe they might have been just a little bit curious as @JJLemon18 mentioned above.

    Just a person who likes pop culture and films

    Ah thank you. The way I see it is my body is no one Else’s business unless you say.

    Especially when strangers ask I just think rude

    It can be impolite to ask someone about their scars, especially if you do not have a close relationship with them. Scars can be sensitive and personal topics. Asking about someone's scars can potentially trigger negative emotions or bring up painful memories.

    I think what's more important is to exercise empathy and respect when considering whether to inquire about someone's scars. Ultimately, it's important to approach conversations with sensitivity and respect!

    Yeah same tbh. People act concerned but they’re not. They’re just nosey. Like staff who I have not spoken to once, ever, will ask me being all concerned. No you’re not concerned you don’t even know me. You’re just being extremely nosey and it’s very triggering to bring attention to it when just trying to carry on with my life.
