How do you guys deal with scar insecurities (and pain/soreness in the scar area/areas)? I (19m) had a heart surgery last year, and I'm still getting used to the way it looks.

It’ll definitely take time for you to adjust to something like that, but eventually it will be a part of you and not just something that happened to you. No need to be insecure! Some people may look/be curious/ask, but i don’t think it’d ever be with any sort of malintent. Plus, confidence is attractive (in a general way, not just romantic) whether you have scars or not. And I think lingering soreness is normal as long as it’s not like sharp or extreme!

I had wrist surgery this year and have a huge bumpy scar and honestly i feel like it’s just a story to tell, you shouldn’t be ashamed of it and it just shows u lived through a hard experience
