pop up questions

hi, js wanna share something abt me :]

whenever i meet new ppl and i'm not comfy enough yet, i'm almost often nonverbal. it's my way of analyzing and observing the surroundings if it's a safe environment for me. if not, then i js mind my own business and ignore everyone

i'm so careless that i usually nick myself (⁠´⁠-⁠﹏⁠-⁠`⁠；⁠)

like, every week either my legs or fingers are covered w bandaids. idc tho, the designs are cute. so, it's def a plus in my accessories 

back on track, due to this frequent cutting, here are questions strangers usually ask:

      "are you depressed?"

      "do you self-harm?"

and me, surprised by the sudden questions, find it insensitive on their part. like, do you js ask people if they're mentally ill ??

anyways, i say no and do not elaborate. i owe no one explanations abt me. 

bUT for clarification here, i do not self-harm. i repeat, i DO NOT condone self-harm. it's js i'm trying to be careful but idk, i js see open wounds and i'm bleeding— 

i find it funny cuz i'm minding myself (usually reading) and then extroverts randomly pop up out of nowhere, smh. 

there are other questions they ask me but i can't open up abt those yet. i js remember this part cuz i nicked myself AGAIN this morning. lemme js cover myself w gauze and bandages fr.
