Will No One Want Me Because of Scars?

[IAmNumberZero]

I was told that girls wouldn't want to be with me because of my cutting scars. Is that true? Because I don't think I can stop...

First, you CAN stop. You'll get there someday.

And, if you're with the right person, they won't give a shit. My boyfriend loves to trace mine with his hands, and he tells me that even though he hates that I hurt myself, that those scars are a part of me, and they make me beautiful.

The problem is I'm not sure if I want to stop. And thanks for replying.

[IAmNumberZero]

Thanks. And I'm going to talk to my therapist about better coping methods this week.

If someone truly loves you, they'll love you and your scars.
But it's important to know that cutting won't make things better.
The best remedy is finding someone you love :)

If the girl doesn't want to be with you because of your scars, she is not a good girl for you. If the girl loves you she will be with you no matter of your scars and even will try to help you to stop doing this.

Honestly, I wouldn't like it. That doesn't mean it would be a deal breaker, but it'd take me some time to get over, and she would have to be somebody I was really interested in. That's just me though, I know plenty of other people would be different.
Let me also clarify, it has nothing to do with looks or anything like that. Cutting has just always really bothered me, not sure why, and so it just creeps me out a bit. But as long as I could get past that...
