so i have a whole bunch of sh scars on my upper thighs, and theyre definitely very noticeable. this isnt usually a problem, since my clothes tend to cover them, but im also a dancer, and i have to change in front of people a lot. the other day i was changing and one of the girls i dance with LOUDLY pointed them out and it made me super uncomfortable. (it wasnt necessarily coming from a bad place, she told me not to do it and later said that she used to as well) but it still SUCKED.
also summer is coming up, and a lot of the shorts i own arent long enough to cover them/ride up, + my scars show when i wear bathing suits (obviously). the thing is, i am comfortable with having them, im not like ashamed or anything, but after that comment i just hate how others might react. i just dont want people to look at me different and i dont know what to do.
i guess im just asking how to feel more confident despite knowing what others might think, because id hate to cover them up all summer long, id rather just wear what makes me happy.

I understand you, I also have noticeable scars and i used to be very ashamed of them, but, now I just try to ignore when someone notices and give short anwsers, talk about any other thing, yk?. I think the best thing you can do with these people is not to care. Ofc you´re right in just using what feels better to you.
