Poll: How do you react to someone who self harmed in the past?

Question

I used to self harm and have some small, very hard, nearly impossible to see scars on me and I also have the words "fat" right where a bracelet goes on my right hand, a small cross on the underside of my right wrist and the word "no" on my right forearm and I always wear sleeves and I am terrified of peoples reactions, what would yours be? 10 points.

I'd be a little worried, to be honest. I would care about it; it's not something I'd dismiss lightly.

No reaction. Everyone have their own story. So it would be interesting to know instead of making any fictional story.

Well atleast you aren't harming others...

Answer 5

I would be shocked and sympathetic at the same time

Answer 6

Treat them like everyone else.

Answer 7

As long as you stopped.
