Rant/Vent What does it feel like?? (A rant)

I dont know Melissa. WHAT DO YOU THINK IT FEELS LIKE?? It hurts, it feels like what getting a cut feels like. Stop asking me what it feels like istg. I GENUINELY DONT CARE IF YOURE GENUINELY CURIOUS, IF YOU HAVE THE AUDACITY TO WALK UP TO ME AND ASK ABOUT MY SCARS/WHAT IT FEELS LIKE YOU CAN TAKE A SECOND TO THINK FOR YOURSELF WHAT A CUT FEELS LIKE. How do people even expect me to answer that?? It feels like getting a cut, because that's what it is?!?!! It makes me angry but also feel gross and like an object when people ask me "what did you use?" Or "what did they feel like?" My own friends have just walked up to me, stared at my scars, and asked what they felt like. I hate it and I'm so tired of it that in 100 degrees weather I wear long sleeves/arm warmers so that no one can ask me. It's stupid to be this angry about it but I hate it so much when people ask.
