if you keep denying it.
I guess the best thing to do is,
tell them yes you used to but your better and you got help and you dont do it anymore.
YOu can never forget your past,
because your past is what makes you who you are today, its what makes you strong, and emotional, and happy and sad.
You dont need to prove anything to anyone, except yourself and having the satisfaction that you dont do it anymore.
Dont draw attention to yourself on this subject.

Once people saw that I did it, the news spread like wildfire. Now I'm done with it and poeple will say "Your a cutter!" and I'll say "No, you know I'm done with that." and they just say "riiiiiiiggghhhhttt...". It gets soooo annoying that people don't beleive me. The only thing I can think of to help is just say in your head "They know I'm done with it, they just want to tease me by saying that I still do... but they KNOW I stopped cutting." Because it is true. They do know you stopped. They just want to tease someone. Try to not let them see it bug you. I know it's REALLY hard, but just try.

I am not sure how you can convince people that you no longer cut, but let them know, cutting was a part of your past, but you have moved on from there. Let them know you realized that cutting wasn't a reasonable way to escape your problems and that you want to move on and focus on the future but that you cannot do it, if they constantly remind you. I guess if they still don't believe you, ask them what you can do to show them you have changed.
If these people are your friends they are probably worried that you will relapse, let them know that whenever you do need them, you will confront them.

Also just act happy and laugh at what they say. Thats the easiest thing you can do. [ BaLLaHoLLiC11's advice column | Ask BaLLaHoLLiC11 A Question ]
