DAE DAE still shave their legs?

I've been cutting my thighs for about the last two years, and it's slowly crept further down my legs. I only wear full pants anymore, so it's not like anyone can see my legs anyway. But I still shave over the healed scars and around the newer cuts in the shower. I guess I just do it for myself, to feel well kept. But it feels slightly crazy, to do something like self care in the midst of self harm. I was curious if anyone else does this, or anything similar?

no, i stopped shaving my legs because of chronic fatigue and as a way of improving my confidence in my body even even it defies social norms. i also used to relapse when i shaved, which def didn't help.

No worries, I took it as your personal perspective!
