If someone is wearing long sleeves in summer
Or if you see scars or marks or burns or stretchmarks or spots
Or any kind of difference or deformity
Don’t point it out
To anyone
Don’t.
Bringing this back as summer is coming
Obviously don’t be obnoxious and point it out to other people…. But if you can privately try to help them seek help or otherwise reach out to them, shouldn’t you do that? I don’t understand this post. “If see that someone may be seriously struggling, ignore it and do nothing” ????
I believe the point is not to point out the physical aspects of the thing, this isn’t just about SI I believe,it seems to be about not pointing out people with a variety of skin conditions including scarring. Like if you see fresh cuts, then ask them “is everything okay” not “I see you’ve been cutting” because that’s just rude.
