When you're a cutter you notice things about others...

You notice the empty look in their eyes as if they're staring into darkness

You notice how their eyes are puffy from crying constantly

You notice the dark circles under their eyes from the sleepless nights

You notice their broken smile

You notice how they drop their fake smile the moment they think you aren't looking

You notice how they have to force themselves to laugh

You notice how they wear long sleeves even in the hottest day of summer

You notice how they never accept a compliment

You notice how they aren't themselves anymore

You also notice the deep red cuts and the dried up scars when their sleeves slide up or their bracelets slip down

You look around for those scars on their arms that are not unlike your own
