Today, several coworkers think the operation scar on my wrist is really a failed suicide attempt, because I study design and apparently, "Artists are suicidal, right?" FML

Hi, OP here. Great to see this published! A follow-up to what many pointed out - they did not actually ask me directly. Instead, they asked one of my friends "What's with her scar?". She already knew me during the accident and operation, so she said that it was an operation scar. However, the others started asking "Are you sure? Maybe it's a cover-up?" etc. The operation was less than a year ago, so I hope the scar will fade in time. I don't really care about their opinion, nor do I think that there would be anything shameful about a suicide scar - I rather thought this kind of stupidity was at least good for an FML. Let them think however they like.

That is an unfortunate location for a surgery scar though.

Artists tend to be more likely to be depressed in my experience, but that's still stupid logic.

Well artists entails a very large group of people...

Even if it was. You'd think they'd be considerate enough to mind their own damn business and not point it out. It's sensitive and personal.

Just take their story and run with it. Make up a bunch of shit and see how far you get.

I have a scar on my wrist from when I smashed my hand through a window when I was 5 and I've had people look at me weird when they see it. When I tell them the story they think I'm completely psycho. I can relate to your pain!

I don't know where you live but people are weird. I have scars on my wrist because I DID try to kill myself and nobody ever mentionned it or gave me a weird look.

I actually had the same exact problem. I was sent down to guidance offices all the time because my cat scratched my arm and I was always shy and drew a lot

I'm an artist and I'm not even the slightest bit suicidal. Your co-workers don't know what they're talking about. They should learn to mind their own business!

Sod em. Having real scars from real things people can think what they like, walk a mile in my shoes though... Life has a funny way of treating everyone uniquely different, if people judge and stereotype like that then they are not needed in your life. (If everyone did this we would have the idyllic life lol)
