    Okay so I have horrible self esteem. I have horrible scarring on my back thah I feel make seem scary and ugly. I find myself People when we get close because I don't want them to see disgusting I am. I'm not sure how to get over having these thoughts thah disgusting or not good enough. Does anyone have ideas how I can get over this?

    I don't know anyone that doesn't have at least one scar from something. Some of us have more for whatever reasons. Scars aren't bad, just means you were wounded and healed, maybe survived and, that's all good.

    Anyone worth having won't be that superficial, they won't care that you have scars.
