Is it normal to admire my self harm scars?

I don’t cut any more, but I used to. I never cut on my arms or anywhere people could really see, because I didn’t want anyone to know. Specifically, I cut on my upper thighs, where they would pretty much always be covered. I have never told anyone about my scars.

I like how they look on my body aesthetically and at times I crave doing it again, but I’m actively trying my best to ignore these feelings and to track when I feel them. I sometimes wish my whole body could be covered in scars, but I wouldn’t want people to bug me about them all the time.

    When I had self-harm scars I felt regretful that I tried to kill myself, when they went away I let my suicidal thoughts go.

    I can't tell if you are having a joke or not but you are seriously talking out of a horses ass as self-harm scars aren't something to admire about.

      This isn’t something to joke about...

    I understand this. I used to cut too, in the same place as you, the upper thighs. My parents would always tell me I should be ashamed of doing that to myself but for me it was partially a good thing because I would cut so that I wouldn’t do anything worse, such as killing myself. I don’t think you should be ashamed of your scars, but recognize that it was a hard period of time for you. Really try not to do it. I know it is hard. I struggle with it too.

    Whenever I get really stressed my wrist feels sore, like my body craves for my hand to be cut off

    I look at my scars, faint as they are, and regret escalating things to that level

    But when I'm stressed, it's a physical need to cut myself and almost nothing else would bring me more immediate satisfaction

    It's good to track when you feel it. I should learn to be more adaptable
