Scar lightening creams work if used regularly.

Every single scar I have is the result of "saving a kitten from a house fire", except the one I actually got from saving a kitten from a house fire. That one I got from saving two kittens from a house fire...and then fighting off an alien attack and saving the Earth.

I do have what look like "suicide attempt" scars on one of my wrists that were the result of my hand going through an unopened glass window when I was maybe 7 years old. The glass didn't break completely so when I pulled my hand out--at 7 and spurting blood everywhere, I didn't have the presence of mind to shatter the rest of the window, which is what my dad did about 3 minutes later--and so I have several more or less aligned scars on my wrist. Looks like about 4, though, so when I tell the truth about it, it's totally believable.

Not sure what you're going to do with 25 in a row, but start with "kittens/alien attack". You could also say you were "building up your resistance to pain". I knew a guy who used to burn his forearms with cigarettes for that reason, but that sounds a lot weirder than kittens/aliens to me.

Go get tattoos.

Obviously, from a good artist, and work that reflects your lifestyle.

Kills two birds with one stone. Helps you get rid of that reminder, and girls love tattoos.

I haven't ever recommended this to anyone before, but I had an ex who used fraxel treatment to make cuts disappear.

I saw the before and after over the course of a year and yes, it worked quite well on her.

I've also looked into it and find very mixed reviews. Something for you to consider though?

I'm in the same boat man, although i used to cut at random angles instead of symmetrical lines. A buddy often jokes about how i look like a bomb disposal tech that got fucked up by shrapnel.

i used to tell LTR's "don't ask and i won't lie to you" before i was ever red pill, which usually works for a few months because they'll probably already figured out by that point and it won't be much of an issue.

I'd leave out the depression part and just say you went through a phase where you were edgy and cool or something. Gang initiation. Tell her you used to be violent and mysterious.
