Story (Rant) Getting insensitive questions

[M@fuyu]

( I'm not sure where is the right place to post this, sorry if it's in the wrong section)

Recently had a mental breakdown and I kinda SH "a little". The scars aren't really obvious imo, normally no one would have noticed but sadly, my colleagues did.

I wish people would pretend that they didn't see anything but 'Colleague A' had to ask me how I got them and I lied saying that I hurt myself. She got agitated and said, Don't lie!
Well, then don't ask! :(

'Colleague B' literally gave me a 2nd breakdown cause apparently she wanted to know what object did I use to cut myself and started naming all the objects that can be found in the world. I didn't say anything until she sat me down and asked about it again, I felt pressured so I told her about the object I used.

Please, all I want is some peace... Now I feel stressed and humiliated :(

Yeah people are awful sometimes, usually without even realising it. Unfortunatly you will probably just have to hide it forever or deal with more of these insensitive questions. For someone who hasn't been through it it seems so weird, so foreign and strange that they don't really stop to think before talking and judging. I know that I myself will probably not be wearing any short sleeved clothes ever due to constant paranoia. I hope you have people close to you who do understand or that talking about it on this forum helps. This would be the part of the post where I say that my DM's are open if you want to talk, but seeing as we're both new we can't do that yet lol. I also hope that knowing you are not alone is comforting in some way.

People can be troublesome when they mean well but colleague B, that just seemed almost pointless. It's stressful but I hope any humiliation you feel passes because you shouldn't, while you're having such problems. Welcome and I hope you find something valuable, especially here in the recovery section. You as well @Humanoid

I'll probably have to control my SH urges since I have to wear short sleeved due to dress code at work, sadly. Thank you for your kind words even though it's impossible for us to DM each other :)
