if sh/scars mention trigger you pls dont read. just a rant abt how i feel bc it rly upset me.
just went and got my nails done and I had a short sleeved top on bc it was rly hot but some woman decided to think it was ok to say i shouldn’t wear a short sleeved top bc my scars are rly noticeable apparently and bc apparently no one wants to see that. i just had a massive cry bc it rly got to me bc ive been through shit and she had no right to say that. it rly bothered me :/. i dont feel comfortable now wearing short sleeved tops :/. im allowed to wear whatever i want and i shouldn’t have to hide my scars bc of some ppl who have no respect. im so angry :( its so disrespectful to point it out either in front of many ppl. i felt so embarrassed :(.

ppl dont always need advice. sometimes all they rly need is a hand to hold. an ear to listen. and a heart to understand them. 🧸

    Hi @eylah, thank you for sharing this with us. Echoing what @Redemption says, you're allowed to wear what you'd like. I'm sorry to hear this happened to you, it isn't kind and it's clearly upsetting for you. Please don't let one person's comment stop you from wearing what you like to wear!

    Hey @eylah, I'm so sorry this happened to you. I can really empathise with how hard it is when people judge you based on your scars, it's really unfair for them to make you feel that way. You deserve to wear what you want and feel comfortable <3
