Lesson Overview

30.36 – How to Explain Scars Without Lying: Scars can carry heavy stories you’d rather not share, but you don’t owe anyone full explanations. You can set boundaries that keep you honest and safe. Simple phrases like “They’re from a hard time” or “I’m healing” are truthful without revealing details. You decide what privacy feels right. Remember, scars aren’t shameful — they are healed wounds. They show survival, not failure. If someone reacts poorly, that reflects their discomfort, not your worth. Confidence grows when you own your story, even quietly. Over time, those marks may fade, but the strength behind them never will. You can choose when and how to speak; silence and truth can coexist with dignity.
