scars should not come in the way of friendship

I think the real issue should be for you to do some soul searching and realize that you let the scars be an issue in the first place. I'm not being snotty and I don't mean that in a disrespectful way. All I'm saying is that the issue isn't with them. It's not about granting them permission to still be your friend because they chose to reveal their scars. You should live a life of integrity and honor and compassion and wondering if you should be okay with a friend's scars doesn't fit into that. Again, not attacking you, just trying to offer something to think about. Scars are like anything else. Hair, eye or skin color, religion, family, history, height, weight. None of it has anything to do with who a person really is and none of them are flaws. Not even the scars. They are a part of who they are and a part of their life story. Those things should be accepted without question and without thinking that you are doing them a favor. Best of luck to you. ^-^

You do know that this is posted in the tattoo section? However if your friend wants to tattoo over the ugly scars then you're in the right place. Tattoos can be an effective method of hiding scars.

I've had friends like that before. Of course I was shocked when they told me/showed me... but they were already my friends before that. I'm not going to turn them away for ugly scars. Besides, scars are in the past. Accept people for who they are, not who they were or what they went through.

If you're a true friend, then the answer should be yes, without even thinking about it.
Your acceptance of her/his scars may mean the world to him/her. Be nice and have compassion.

Everyone has scars and yes, I accept people for the way they are, scars and all ... because that is what makes them who they are.

A scar is a scar ... It's part of them and if you like them as a person scars shouldn't matter. Just be understanding and don't make their feelings about them if they feel self conscious any worse.

Well you said if you had a friend. So as there friend, you already accepted there scars even if they never told you them

If you are really someone's friend, whatever scars they have or whatever they look like will be irrelevant to you. I can't think of any scar that a friend might have that would make me not want to be their friend (emotional or physical)

You used the word "friend" if you are truly their "friend" then of course!! God forbid but what if you got into a car accident or got injured, would you want to be judged or worse not liked/dropped as a"friend" because of your scars??? You should feel VERY special that they trust you enough to show you!

Love them for who they are now and try to have an understanding of who they are now is because of where they have been and how they dealt with it ! Not everyone has a great childhood or midlife or even golden years can become very hard and ugly ! Hope fully we all find some one who loves us for us and not for who we used to be .
