So I’m spending this weekend with some friends, and I’m afraid that they will somehow notice the cuts in my arm.. They are not too big, but I don’t think that if I said it was a scratch they would believe it..
I will be very careful not to have my arms uncovered. But if somehow one of them notices..
What do I say? Is there any excuse that works?
I’m kinda freaking out about this.. I don’t want them to know.
Please help. Any suggestion is welcome.

Can foundation work on your arms to cover up the scars?
I haven’t tried. Maybe it would work, even if a bit.
I’ll try it tomorrow (I have a couple cuts that aren’t completely closed yet and I don’t want them to infect).
Thank you dave 🙂
I wouldn’t try applying makeup. You may wind up poisoning yourself.
What about a bracelet, it may not work for all but u can use more than 1 method.
Makeup, bracelet, long sleeves, if u show them a cut on the upper part of ur arm and wrap the entire thing in bandage while showing off a cut u got “from ur cat” they won’t look at the rest of ur arm
If they’re anything like my friends they’ll accept whatever you tell them. If you’re gonna lie, LIE BIG. Make up a simple enough story but fill it with lots of details. My friends don’t even ask anymore when they see fresh cuts. I know, they know I’m doing it to myself but they don’t say anything. After they see them the first time they probably won’t ask again. If they do ask about them again, I implore you to take advantage of it and talk to them, they’re worried about you. Maybe take up a moderately dangerous hobby? I took up long boarding, so now I just say I brushed against a tree or something like that. Plus I work in a restaurant with lots of hot or sharp objects and that’s always a valid excuse, accidents happen and no one questions that.
try bracelets they’ll pile on your arms and people will just look at them and think nothing more of it. that’s what I do
Hmmm, well I haven’t cut my arms to try to avoid this problem. I cut my leg, but if anyone ever asked a reasonable excuse for me would be I was climbing a fence. Even if they don’t believe you completely, if you’re only caught once it shouldn’t draw anything but suspicion. Maybe you could say a cat scratched you?
If they are not too far apart i would get a few large water resistant bandages for daily use until they heal. If it comes up tell them any reasonable injury story and how you don’t want an infection or scar. Also, as itchy as they get, try not to draw attention by scratching. Don’t ever cut anywhere that is regularly visible!
Thank you everyone for the suggestions.
I don’t think bracelets would help since it’s closer to my elbow rather than my wrist.
Maybe I’ll say that I was playing with a cat at some other friends house (whom they dont know).
Obviously I won’t be walking around without something with sleeves, the thing is getting ready, we are all girls and always have that ritual of trying on a thousand different outfits, etc.. That’s why I am concerned.
tell them your cat ate some snail poison your mom put in the garden and it started freaking out a bit so you went give it some milk to help with the detoxification , but as you did the cat stated to take a shit right there in the house so you hit the cat but slipped and fell on the snail posion that you had just bought in. when you fell on the snail poison you accedentailly ingested some and started tripping. Because you are the cat were on the same wave lengths you started having a conversation with it. He was telling you how cheese was overrated and how boring and dull his life was. It kinda reminded you of how judgmental your friends are and how they hold not form of empathy whatsoever, but can only be cared about the new iphone and who is shagging who. So you are your cat decided to experiment in cutting…. tell them the cat kill himself. It is really hard to cut with paws
I am sure they will understand
