I've told my best friend, who was curious about an old scar on my hand, and also my brother. My friend was obviously quite upset, and I wasn't ready to deal with it at the time, so that created an uncomfortably situation for a while. She never brings it up, and I never bring it up, but every once in a while I'll give her a poem I've written or something, but if it still bothers her I don't know. The people I've told have been important to me, and I didn't want to come up with a lame lie that's easy to see through. The people I brush off with "it's a long story" catch me off guard.

I told one friend who ended up hating me and never talking to me again. I also told my best friend and she was sympathetic. She doesn't hate me but i no it upsets her. I told her that I have stopped even tho i haven't because i don't want to hurt her anymore. I never will tell my parents as they are one of the reasons that I do it. Just want them to be proud. I can never talk to them about anything because i'm afraid. I feel not telling anyone is better so they are not worrying and getting upset.
